Stressed out? Anxious? Overwhelmed? There¿s good news – you¿re not alone! No one ever said life was going to be easy. Between financial struggles, marital issues, health scares, and the run-of-the-mill problems of everyday life, it¿s easy to feel weighed down and trapped by your circumstances. In times like these, it¿s tempting to just throw in the towel and quit.
Well, don¿t do it! Perry Noble has stood at the edge of the abyss himself, and in Overwhelmed, he shares the keys to unlocking the chains of anxiety and despair once and for all. Building on the premise that everything changes when we shift our focus from our circumstances to Christ, Perry walks listeners through a life-altering plan for overcoming stress, worry, depression, and anxiety so we can be free to embrace the abundant, joy-filled lives we were created for.
God knows we¿re frustrated. He knows we¿re tired. He knows we¿re struggling. But He also knows how things are going to turn out. He is greater than anything you¿re going through…so don¿t give up on God. After all, He has never given up on you!

To be fair I did try to go into it with a blank slate and without many expectations, but my cursory knowledge of Perry Noble was that of a pastor who had battled anxiety and depression, and at one point I hoped it would be a bit…
Conflicted feelings about book, discussion of content I am conflicted about how I feel about this book. I am a worry-wart and was hoping that the book would give me ideas and strategies to overcome this in my life. Instead, the book was mainly about depression and not as much about worry. (I do not feel they are the same, but I do believe that worry, left unchecked, can help lead to depression.)I’m conflicted because on one hand the author will say that he isn’t going to give you “bumper sticker” theology (quick, simple quotes…
