Description
Have you ever tried to fight worry with faith and felt you were losing the battle? Have comments like “God’s got this!” or “Just pray about it” only left you feeling more burdened? We know we shouldn’t worry, but the reality is that we all do at times. Whether it’s personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what’s happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle.
Many Christians do not have a full understanding of what it means to fight the good fight of faith. They try to live by faith but in the face of everyday trials and failures, they find themselves disillusioned and discouraged, wondering if they have done something wrong or if living by faith only works for others. The problem for most is simply a lack of understanding regarding what faith is and how it works.
This book, inspired by the Book of Joshua, reviews three tools a person can develop to Fight In Faith: 1) embracing God's promises, 2) courage and commitment under pressure and 3) practicing radical obedience while waiting for God to deliver your victory.
Just as God gave His people victory over their enemies when they fought in faith, He promises to do the same for us. Following the footprints of bold, courageous faith that God gave His people, we’ll be equipped with tools to bravely fight in faith and overcome both our daily struggles and the bigger battles we all face. Through examples of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we’ll be victorious in our fight of faith so that we not only radically transform our own lives but unequivocally impact society.
A companion six-week Bible study Joshua: Winning the Worry Battle is also available for those who would like to dig deeper into the book's topic. Study components, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook with five days of lessons per week, Leader Guide, and DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions (with closed captioning).

Before reading Barb's book I could (and would) spend hours just sitting there thinking about all the things I had to do, all the things I felt I wasn't able to do, and all the things I wish I could change. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I often let my imagination (thinking of all 800 scenarios) get the best of me, and then I would end up having a panic attack freaking out over the possibility that this anxiety attack is never going to end.
In Barb's book she introduces a plenty of small ways to help get your worry under control. While I haven't been able to try all of them in the short time since I've read this book I have tried a couple. One of her suggested methods is what she calls the calm method. The final step in that method is to meditate on the thought "God is with me and for me and I am not alone." Since reading that I have started saying that to myself when my panic attacks start and have noticed a significant improvement in the amount of time it takes me to calm down enough to be able to function.
I am encouraged by reading this book because that is just ONE of the methods she offers and I look forward to incorporating more of her ideas into my life. I am also encouraged by her book because I have often times felt guilty about the depth of my prayer life, and her book also offered a few tips on how to get back into the word. Barb's book gives me hope that I will be able to: win my own personal worry battle, that I will be able to get back on track with my prayer life, and that I can develop a stronger personal relationship with God.
