About this audiobook

Anxiety is at an all time high, but there's a prescription for dealing with it. Max Lucado invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7 where the Apostle Paul admonishes the followers of Christ, "Do not be anxious about anything . . ."

When it comes to anxiety, depression, and stress-related illnesses, America is the frontrunner. Thankfully, there’s a practical prescription for dealing with these issues. Anxious for Nothing, the most recent audiobook from New York Times bestselling author, Max Lucado, provides a roadmap for battling with and healing from anxiety.

Does the uncertainty and chaos of life keep you up at night?

Is irrational worry your constant companion?

Could you use some calm?

If the answer is yes, you are not alone. According to one research program, anxiety-related issues are the number one mental health problem among women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse among men. Stress-related ailments cost the nation $300 billion every year in medical bills and lost productivity. And use of sedative drugs like Xanax and Valium have skyrocketed in the last 15 years. Even students are feeling it. One psychologist reports that the average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s. Chances are, you or someone you know seriously struggles with anxiety.

Max writes, "The news about our anxiety is enough to make us anxious.” He knows what it feels like to be overcome by the worries and fear of life, which is why he is dedicated to helping millions of listeners take back control of their minds and, as a result, their lives.

Anxious for Nothing invites listeners to delve into Philippians 4:6-7. After all, it is the most highlighted passage of any book on the planet, according to Amazon:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

In the characteristic tone of his previous books like You’ll Get Through This and Fearless, Max guides listeners through this Scripture passage and explains the key concepts of celebration, asking for help, leaving our concerns, and meditating.

Stop letting anxiety rule the day. Join Max on the journey to true freedom and experience more joy, clarity, physical renewal, and contentment by the power of the Holy Spirit. Anxiety comes with life. But it doesn't have to dominate your life.

    Stressed with anxiety and fear, our society strains to the breaking point. Lucado illuminates the symptoms and causes. Beyond this, he arms readers with God’s principles and scriptures to counteract these insidious stressors. We can renew our hearts and minds.

  • 5/5
    As I always struggle with anxiety, I have read a couple of books on managing anxiety, and this book was my favorite so far! I liked how the author integrated the love for God as a relief from anxiety. As a religious person, I liked finding peace and building a connection with God. However, not only this but there are also other methods of dealing with intrusive thoughts unrelated to religion at all(for those of you who are atheists), such as mindfulness techniques, etc. However, I still believe even though you have read the book, if you want to get something valuable from it, you have to practice at least one of the practices they mentioned in this book, and only then can you realize the importance of this book. Also, there are many stories of real people who utilized the practices from this book and saw immediate results afterward, which gives you hope that you too soon can learn to manage your anxiety, and it will get easier! Just a little reminder for those who suffer from anxiety: remember you are not alone; many people struggle the same as you are; just keep going on no matter what, no pain, no gain, right?
    Do you want to regret all the things you could not do because of the anxiety? OF COURSE NO, go for it, even though you are in pain; believe me, you will thank yourself later! At least you will know that you gave your best in this life; for me, it became my purpose to give my best and not regret it in the end! Go for it! I believe in you!

    Another masterpiece by Max Lucado. With divine wisdom and dry humour, max dissect the plague of anxiety, which has been troubling humanity from the beginning of time. Masterfully Max dissect, and prescribes the only cure available.
  • 5/5
    I needed this book today. I find myself in circumstances beyond my control or making, and this book has helped ground my anxious thoughts around the true nature and promises of God. We are not alone, we can take captive every thought, we are loved, there are angels watching over us, there is a purpose for our condition. Rejoice in the Lord and in all things give thanks.

    This was just what I needed. In a world that is so anxious and angry this was the perfect balm and it's all scriptural as far as I could tell.

    Anxiety won't go away but knowing that God can help, helps.
  • 5/5
    It is a very uplifting book and I like the fact that it is a relatively short book. Very concise and to the point. Wait on God and trust on him, pray specific prayers and live a day at a time- the antithesis of anxiety.

    This is a great book. Based on Phil 4. Worth the listen.
