I was given an advanced copy of this title by NetGalley. After reading the first week's devotions I was so impressed with this book that I immediately bought a copy for a friend who is going through some tough times.

This is one I will want to always have on hand for those situations when worries try to take over. I tend to get into the hamster wheel of thoughts repeating themselves over and over again. This book really has some very helpful ideas to break the cycle and focus on what really matters. Ms Wilson uses the Psalms to help us learn how to "let go and let God" I really found her exercises very useful. When I finished the book I was ready to start all over again, just for the depth of worship it brought me. This book helps to build faith and trust in the Almighty and bring peace to a worried soul.… (meer)

I read Freedom from Worry, in exchange for review from Netgalley.com. The book was written by Patricia Wilson and published by Upper Room Ministries.

I started the book a few weeks ago. Read the first section. Then, realized I needed a bible. I have the bible on Kindle and on the Kindle Cloud. Kindle had issues and so did the cloud. Did not occur to me to pull up a bible online (dummy).

I chose the book because I do worry a lot. I worry about the kids. I worry about school. I worry for the sake of worrying.

The book is a 28-day bible study on worry. Will be great for small-group bible study or Sunday school. Definitely thinking of getting the paperback or kindle edition.

The book is simple to read and easy to understand. Each chapter is also two pages. The book teaches us about giving our worries to God. This brings peace and freedom versus bondage and slavery.

The book has a good introduction. The first section hit me on the head: Are you already worrying you won't make it through the book? Each section has a reading section, reflection, prayer, and mediation. If you have the paperback, you have a place to write your prayer.

I also downloaded another ARC (advanced reader copy) from Netgalley. I been skimming through the book and I like it, but it is time to put like to action. I need to give a lot of my worries to God.… (meer)
