Description
Does the uncertainty and chaos of life keep you up at night? Is irrational anxiety your constant companion? Let God help you win the war on worry and receive the lasting peace of Christ.
We all experience anxiety, but we don’t have to let worry and fear control our lives. Anxious for Nothing, from New York Times bestselling author, Max Lucado, provides a roadmap for coping with and healing from anxiety. Complete with Lucado’s signature storytelling and relatable anecdotes, Anxious for Nothing invites you to study Philippians 4:6-7—the most highlighted passage of the Bible and any book on the planet according to Amazon.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
You will experience CALM as Max encourages you to:
- Celebrate God’s goodness
- Ask God for help
- Leave your concerns with God
- Meditate on good things
Stop letting anxiety rule the day. Join Max on the journey to true freedom and experience more peace, joy, clarity, physical renewal, and contentment by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Featured Reviews
Max Lucado has once again written a reassuring, hope-filled book that reminds us of God's enduring, unconditional love. Highly recommended, especially for these troubled times.
This is a brief and simple read and, usefully, the text is followed by a full listing of all the Scriptures quoted within the book. Max Lucado gives examples of the kinds of things people worry about and why. He gives concrete examples of situations and times when he himself has known anxiety, fear, and guilt. This is helpful, as is his statement that anxiety means we are human; 'it does not mean that you are not a Christian'.
Concentrating on Phil. 4:4-8 but drawing on many verses in the Old and New Testament, Lucado equips the reader with God's promises and scriptural advice, reminding readers of the importance of rejoicing and thankfulness, of casting our anxieties on Jesus, of the importance of prayer and being specific in our prayer requests, and of abiding in Jesus. As someone who keeps trying to 'earn' salvation (I know!), I found encouragement in the section about the fruit of the Spirit which can be summarised as 'But how do you bear this fruit? Try harder? No, hang tighter'.
As I think *all* Christian books and discussions boil down to, the message here is to focus on Jesus.
I found this book comforting and interesting, I don't think it will get me back behind the wheel of a car (in this case, Max, the fear isn't of not having control but of having to take control) but I hope to use it to combat anxiety in a changing workplace environment.
Finally, if I were to buy this book, I know that I would much prefer to have a paper copy over an eBook - concepts are built up over pages and chapters so it is the kind of book where I want to flick back constantly.
