Anxiety, Depression, and Jesus

Finding Hope in All Things

De: Aaron Hoover

Narrado por: Aaron Hoover

For those of us feeling the weight of mental illness, we don’t only need hope that our pain will go away. We need hope that even if it lasts, God is still good. He promises never to leave us, and he’s sovereign over every minute of our pain and difficulty.

In Anxiety, Depression, and Jesus, Aaron Hoover normalizes the relationship between faith and suffering. Aaron is a pastor who has battled anxiety and depression for two decades and is compassionate and empathetic toward the similar experiences of others. If you are suffering—Aaron’s writing is a great reminder that you’re not alone, you’re not crazy, and there is a God who is with you.

Beautifully written - filled with Hope!

Aaron shares his journey in a way that encourages and inspires anyone suffering with mental health issues to take courage in knowing you are not alone. He also gives so much practical advice on how to take steps forward in the process of healing. This book is full of hope!

The scripture references were very helpful.

This is from someone who has suffered with anxiety, depression and OCD most of my life. I found this book so helpful and so true! Thank you Aaron for sharing for life with us. I will pray for your journey, please pray for mine.

Personal experience honesty love compassion and empathy

Every single thing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul ! I feel understood seen and heard. It’s like you know me

Honest look at Anxiety and Depression

Most honest & raw book that I’ve listened to on this topic. It’s okay to not be okay.

Very Helpful read

This book has really helped me in my battle with anxiety, depression, anger. It is not real long, and gives references of other authors on the same subject. I’m listening again as well as taking notes

Life Changing

This book has really brought me much encouragement and a new resolve to use my anxiety, depression and other mental health struggles to minister to others. I have really been hard on myself for a long time that I couldn't "get it together". The timing was perfect for God to speak to my heart. I have loved Jesus for a long time, however now I am becoming more peaceful and really loved by HIM.
I really am thankful for the author's openness and vulnerability. I am now on the same path. God is always patient and faithful!

Part memoir, part biblical commentary & self help

As a Christian who has struggled with both anxiety and depression most of my life, I found this book challenging and necessary. The author addresses many common beliefs perpetrated by the church regarding mental health, those who deal with mental health issues, and the causes of mental health problems. I found it challenging because I have frequently heard many of the statement brought up in this book from pastors and other well-meaning Christians in regards to my battle with depression. They sound correct but don't hold up to biblical scrutiny. This book pointed out what God says regarding the mental health struggles faced by those in the Bible and provided hope in my long-term struggle.

The book is short enough to listen to in an evening yet deep enough to encourage a second listen in order to glean all of the details. I will be listening again soon to take notes of all of the biblical references. I recommend this book to anyone who has struggled with anxiety and depression, all caretakers and friends of those who have struggled, and to all church members who counsel those who struggle.

I received a free code for this book in exchange for my honest review.

Exactly what today's church needs to hear!

I loved that Aaron was not afraid to call out false teaching and point to Truth regarding faith and mental illness. As a Christ-Follower and someone living with a mental illness, we desperately need the church body to respond based on ALL scripture, the stories of those in The Word who also struggled, and we need to embrace the hurting and brokenness in society with care and understanding.
Very well done, Aaron!

Relateable

I really enjoyed this read. It was helpful for those of us experiencing any kind of anxiety or depression, and for those of us who love someone who is. I felt like I could relate on multiple levels.

Being a Christian with Anxiety

I have always believed God’s peace and fear or anxiety cannot co-exist in me. This book helped me understand how they can.
