"When you understand, accept and fully receive His unconditional love for you, most of what has worried you will float right out of your mind and heart."

Even stalwart Christians can fall prey to the devil's manipulations. However, God wants us to live in joy and peace. In Give Up Worry Forever: Simple Strategies to Bring Peace and Order to Your Life, Dr. Robb Thompson helps readers to understand God's will. The author defines the levels of worry, explains their consequences and details their root causes. He then offers five strategies to drive out worry, but don't stop reading there. I found two sections toward the end of the book, "Seven Points to Live in Your Inheritance of Peace" and "Four Keys to Sustaining Peace," just as valuable and uplifting.

The author's written voice mirrors his television persona. Like a loving brother, he doesn't pass judgment, but beseeches readers to leave the past behind and begin anew. He doesn't offer a quick fix, but leads readers along a healthier spiritual path. His straightforward, inspirational encouragement brought tears of joy to my eyes. He occasionally repeats certain messages, but this only serves to emphasize the essentials.

As a special bonus, readers receive a compact disc, Your Worry, God's Peace, on which Dr. Thompson reads thirty-eight scriptures and follows each with a prayer based upon the verse. His soothing voice, comforting words, and the calming music help provide a foothold for slipping faith. I believe that if all drivers played this CD, road rage incidents would become nearly non-existent.

A more serene spirit can be yours. Dr. Robb Thompson's Give Up Worry Forever: Simple Strategies to Bring Peace and Order to Your Life can show you how. This book and CD are a treasure.
