Overcoming Despair

The Battle You Are Fighting Has Already Been Won

De: Tony Miano

Narrado por: Tony Miano

Peace. What so many people lack today and look in all the wrong places to find, is attainable in only one place—in only One Person. In “Overcoming Despair,” author Tony Miano, through personal testimony and probative research, explains that anxiety and depression are not diseases that people have, they are behaviors in which people engage. In doing so, Miano exposes the mythology of “chemical imbalance theory,” the tendency of many to give undue authority to the medical community in matters that are not so much brain issues as they are heart issues, and the evangelical church’s hand in promoting the kind of errant thinking that leads people to look to medication instead of real transformation, which is found in Jesus Christ and His Word. He then provides practical, biblical tools for overcoming anxiety and depression, helping the reader to come to realize that there is hope—real hope—and that in Jesus Christ the battle they are fighting has already been won.

Challenging and, for the Christian, Ultimately Comforting

I can't speak highly enough of this book, nor of the narration from the author. Even for those who are already Christians, this book is likely to be very challenging, but it is well worth the investment of time and attention required.

Miano highlights, using both Scripture and his own story, how we have gone so wrong in diagnosing and treating mood disorders in our culture, and offers an effective antidote- the gospel, both for the unbeliever and the believer.

Miano offers, just as the Lord Himself does, no lasting comfort or peace to those who are unwilling to bend the knee to Jesus, but for the one who is, the path to everlasting peace and relief are here.

This is a no-nonsense, common sense book which will benefit everyone who gives it a fair hearing.

I couldn't stop listening.

I have struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a child. A product of a broken home, with an overly controlling mother, I turned to self comfort very early in life.
Now, as a born again Christian, this book has served as a hard truth about the root cause. I will definitely listen again and take notes.
I found the "war bag" section to be very helpful.
I will definitely be sharing and recommending this book to anyone who is also struggling.
