WHEN WORRY WHISPERS / by Joyce Meyer; illustrations by Marcin Piwowarski Meyers defines worry as the voice that whispers "what if?" -- so when you stop to think about it -- that little voice that whispers "what if?" is one of the things that keeps you from enjoying life. The book also shows how to get rid of that voice -- by learning about God's promises to you and using those to overcome that little voice. The book is short and to the point -- revealing the lies that worry offers and the truth that God provides. A good place to start a discussion on worry in general, specific worries in our lives, and target solutions to stop worrying and start living. The illustrations by Marcin Piwawarki were a perfect match to the story and enhanced the story adding more through studying the pictures capturing the emotions of worry and what worry looks like in a person hopefully helping the young readers of this book recognize worry in themselves and others.
Adults will be able to glean some understanding about worry by reading this book, too. -- If more information and instruction needed, adults should read the chapter on worry in Joyce Meyer's best selling book BATTLEFIELD OF THE MIND. Notice: I was given a free copy of this title in return for an honest review through The Library Thing Early Reviews Program ( )

Super cute book that reminds children that God is always with them and how to overcome those worrying thoughts. ( )

Okay, this book is incredibly sweet and has such a powerful message for children. I can't wait to read it to my nieces and nephews. The illustrations are adorable as well. This book is a definite must add to your library. ( )

This book is excellent for talking with your children about worry, fear, and/or anxiety with a faith-based perspective. I love it because it deals with a tough topic that kids may not always know how to express. It's written on a level that I think kids could readily identify with and it's wonderfully illustrated. Even as an adult, I found the content very encouraging and uplifting. Special thanks to LibraryThing and the publisher for granting me this free copy! ( )

A beautifully illustrated picture book based on Psalm 55:22. As a young boy goes about his day, he worries about a lot of "what if's" that might happen to him. He's ultimately reminded that God loves him and will be with him, no matter what. Good choice for a church library. ( )
