Publisher's Summary: Our culture is frantic with worry. We stress over circumstances we can't control, we talk about what's keeping us up at night, and we wring our hands over the fate of disadvantaged people all over the world, almost as if to show we care and that we have big things to care about. Worry is part of our culture, an expectation of responsible people. And sadly, Christians are no different. But we are called to live and think differently from the worried world around us. The fact is, worry is sin, but we don't seem to take it seriously. It is a spiritual problem, which ultimately cannot be overcome with sheer willpower - its solution is rooted entirely in who God is. How can we live life abundantly, with joy, as God has called us to do, when were consumed by anxiety? We are commanded not to worry, not only in the well-known words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 6, but also throughout the Old Testament and the epistles to the church. The Bible makes it clear that the future belongs only to God, who rules and is not subject to the limitations of time. To live with joy and contentment, trusting God with the present and the future, is a countercultural feat that can be accomplished only through him. Challenging the idolatrous underpinnings of worry, former Christianity Today executive Amy Simpson encourages us to root our faith in who God is, not in our own will power. We don't often give much thought to why worry offends God, but indulging anxiety binds us to mere possibilities and blinds us to the truth. Correctly understanding the theology of worry is critical to true transformation. This is an audiobook not just for people who worry; this is a call to the church to turn its eyes from the things of earth and fix its eyes on the author and completer of our faith.

Members Reviews: How to trust in God even though there are thousands of reasons to be anxious. This book is a revelation to me, it dig deep in the fears and anxiety that rob the joy of our Lord Jesus.

Good book. Good book. Not sure I read anything that I had never heard before. But it was a good concise conversation about worry. Very helpful.

Five Stars This is a great book!

Five Stars The subject matter is well discussed. I learned a lot and appreciate the author's take on this matter.

A Lifestyle of Worry Is Incompatible with a Life of Faith Tune in to the evening news, and you are likely to hear stories that cause fear and anxiety to well up within you. Americaâs struggling economy, the Ebola pandemic, radical Islamic terrorism. Or perhaps you donât watch the evening news but still find yourself anxious about your spouse, your children, your job, your life. Then you read Amy Simpsonâs new book. It says: âa lifestyle of worry is incompatible with a life of faith.â And you think to yourself, Is this woman for real? Does she not understand the hard things Iâm going through? Yes, and yes. Amy Simpson is for real. She understands. Sheâs a wife, a mother, a worker. Her mother is schizophrenic. Her brother-in-law survived stage-3 liver cancer. Her husband is a licensed counselor. She wrote a book on mental illness. When she says that worry and faith are incompatible, sheâs not saying it from some airy-fairy height untouched by trouble. Rather, she says that faith and worry are incompatible because that is what Jesus himself says.
