De: Sarah E. Ball

Narrado por: Sarah E. Ball

Fearless in 21 Days is a testimony of hope and a day-by-day guide to healing the mind using mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual applications for those bound by crippling fear, anxiety, panic disorders, and depression.

In the summer of 2013, family and friends watched helplessly as author Sarah E. Ball spiraled into the darkest season of her life. A passionate woman of God, wife, mom of five, and popular blogger, Sarah nevertheless found herself abruptly taken captive by a severe anxiety and panic disorder that left her bedridden for months. Those around her were shocked at her fast derailment because she had always been a very strong, dependable woman. With time and perseverance, her determination and faith in God led her out of anxiety and into a place of complete freedom.

After Sarah found deliverance from mental illness she was determined to reach back into the pit and pull the next person out. She began sharing the intimate details of her breakdown and recovery with her readers, creating an online series Fearless in 21 Days as a daily guide to overcoming anxiety. After the series gained an increasing amount of attention, Sarah expanded the series into an award-winning full book manuscript.

In Fearless in 21 Days, Sarah takes the readers through 21 revelations that focus on healing the whole self-body, mind, and soul-and bridging the gap between effective mental health therapies and Scripture. The book begins with practical tips that can dramatically reduce the immediate symptoms of anxiety and then dives deeper into spiritual and mental truths to create a hope-filled guide to freedom from anxiety so that readers may boldly and bravely fulfill their purpose in Christ-fearlessly.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"FEARLESS IN 21 DAYS is the remarkable story of one woman's victory over her anxiety disorder. But it is much more than that. It's a resource and guide to help conquer the fear that's at the heart of this disorder. It uses biblical truth to clear up many of the misconceptions that swirl around this mental illness, and yet it emphasizes the importance of well-rounded therapies that address a person's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. Best of all, it provides a day-by-day plan that puts readers on the road to recovery, too."—Jolene Philo, author of Does My Child Have PTSD: What To Do When Your Child Is Hurting from the Inside Out

"A recommended read providing candid, common sense on a debilitating mental health issue. The author's own struggle to overcome the crippling effects of anxiety, is both elementary and encouraging. This is a book that neither simplifies the issue nor shames the one who struggles, while giving proper place to both the power of prayer and the importance of medical intervention when required. I particularly liked the focus on healthy mind, body and spirit interventions and will recommend it to colleagues and clients alike."—Marion Goertz, DMin, RP, RMFT, CTS, RST, CEFT

"It's pretty easy to be fear-filled in today's tumultuous world, but whether your anxiety is overtaking you or is just a subtle theme in the background of your mind, Sarah Ball's own epic battle with depression and anxiety brings incredible hope to all of us. Your reality today does not have to be your forever and Sarah shows us step by step how to walk out of full blown anxiety into a life of peace and hope. This is a must read!"—Cheryl Weber, Co-host & Senior Executive Producer, 100 Huntley Street

"FEARLESS IN 21 DAYS is your breakthrough in a book. Whatever your story, Sarah will show you that you can live a fearless and joyful life. She thought she would never survive anxiety and depression, yet she did, and she's living proof that you can overcome too. The wisdom of Sarah's whole life approach shows that healing an anxiety disorder is not just a physical problem fixed by medication, nor a spiritual problem healed by prayer, nor a mental issue prevented by therapy. It is all of the above. Following Sarah's insights will give you a prognosis for wellness."—Bob Jones, Lead Pastor, North Pointe Church, Edmonton, Alberta

"As a speaker/author and someone who struggles with mental health I have been thinking of writing a book on the subject. I was halfway through the book and said to myself there is no need to write a book because Sarah says it all. Biblical, practical, vulnerable and basically something for everyone no matter where you are in your journey. Moving towards wholeness from brokenness. Must read for anyone struggling with any form of mental health."—Brett Ullman, speaker, author, blogger

Life Changing

30 days ago today, I had been in a place of total brokenness and fear and had no real idea of what caused the absolute panic I was experiencing. I had been feeling that way for a couple of weeks. I had always suffered from daily anxiety and had honestly learned to accept that part of me as “normal” but the state of mind I was in was so much more severe and dramatic then I had ever experienced before it was completely freaking me out. I was sobbing on a daily basis, shaking, thinking terrible irrational things and couldn’t get out of the hamster wheel of disparity.

Then, 30 days ago, I heard a voice in my head that said “ How do you expect to ever feel better or live a fulfilled life if you have never given me the chance to show you that you and I are strong enough on our own?” The voice hit me in a way where I felt a physical thump on my brain. I was in total shock because I heard the voice so clearly. Right away, my heart recognized what it meant. You see, I had fallen into a pattern of drinking and smoking and medication on a rotational basis for years and although I was always able to “function”, I knew that my mind had become a slave to the chemicals. There was not one day for the past 11 years that I didn’t smoke a joint. Most times 4.

30 days ago today, I quit everything. I quit the drinking and the smoking, I quit crap food and sad TV. I was truly being called to clear my mind and make space for God.

After about a day, I knew I couldn’t do this alone and would need help and guidance. I never had Audible, but looked it up and began to look for a book that may help me through what I was being called to do. Within 10 minutes, I found this book... or should I say, This book found me.

This book, without a doubt is life changing. Sarah’s approach to total healing based in God was exactly what I needed and the precise message God wanted me to hear. Every chapter was so inspiring and meaningful and I could feel God working in me while listening to it and every minute after. This book has not only taught me so many lessons that I would not have known, but gave me a foundation to work on as I build my new life and the renewed me.

I just finished the book this morning, and cried deeply for the transformation I am going through. I am so thankful to have found this book and will always keep it for when I need a reminder or refresh of the many teachings within it. Thank you Sarah and THANK YOU GOD!

This book was worth the read

The narrator wasn't the best in my opinion but the words and encouragement were worth it.

Amazing!

This book changed my life! God led me to this book and I praise Him !

Thank God for this book

I thank God for this Book. It has been a blessing. It always comes in handy

Now I have hope

I’ve been a sufferer from anxiety almost all my life. Glossophobia and social anxiety specifically for 20 years. And then just a monthly to weekly occurrence of random fears that always result in me spiraling.

It had gotten increasingly worse recently. I was in my car screaming, begging and chanting at the top of my lungs, punching my steering wheel “HELP ME JESUS. PLEASE. HELP ME JESUS. HELP ME JESUS. HELP ME.” over and over until my throat was sore and I was exhausted. If anyone could have seen me, no doubt they would’ve checked me into a mental hospital. I just recently started Christian counseling to dig into root issues but I still needed hope.

I found this book because I googled “how god heals some from anxiety and not others”. I was convinced I was a sufferer that God chose to never heal.

I honestly think this book was written for me that I can’t quite explain. It’s like she took so many different aspects.... things that I’ve been told before over time in different ways... and pulled it all together in one book. In a way I could relate and embrace.

It’s compassion and empathy. science and biblical truth. beautiful visuals and practical steps. She knew exactly what needed to be shared as a WHOLE.

And after listening to the entire book, not yet applying, just soaking it in.... I have hope for the first time for healing. And I don’t feel alone in my suffering.

Seriously, thank you for your struggle and your obedience.
