Publisher's Summary

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.

A Gospel and Practical Analysis of Anxiety

I suffer from anxiety when I struggle in my life so I am quite sensitive about the topic of 'anxiety.' Sometimes, anxiety is a generalized phrase used to denote anything of discomfort or concern;for those who have experienced pure anxiety know that anxiety is the worst feeling in the world. I found that Max Lucado in Anxious for Nothing showed the respect 'anxiety' deserved and reflected relevant scripture that evoked spirit to debunk the power of anxiety and help manage it, subsequently. This book is not dedicated to a clinical understanding to anxiety; Mr. Lucado remains practical and logical about anxiety and how it controls and manifests but steers clear of biological and medical jargon and study. What I found most helpful was the link Max Lucado makes between spirit, scripture and emotions. The text is not simply a recital of scripture that in and of itself minimizes anxiety; as humans, emotions are much more powerful than reading a verse and negative emotions disappear. Likely to attract readers with the trigger word, "anxiety," I highly recommend this book to remind the reader that, firstly, the anxious individual is not alone: secondly, there are strategies to combat and anxiety, and thirdly, God loves you and is bigger than anxiety.

A little too Christian for me.

Good ideas but the preachy Ness of Jesus was too much. I'm not Christian so I found little value.

Christian Focused

Based on scripture and the Bible, not for me but I'm sure others would find it very helpful and enlightening.

smoothie, easy to listen to

I enjoy Mr Lucado's books. This one feels full of hope, his usual plays with alliteration but also soothing and easy on the ear. Good content and smooth delivery

Interesting but not as helpful as hoped

I was really hoping that this book was going to give more tools and go into greater depth on battling chronic or clinical levels of anxiety. Instead, this book is a little more lighthearted, and mostly a good reminder to look to God first.
