Stress-Free Believers

Stress-Free Believers by Harold Metzel

About The Book:

Economic developments throughout the entire world have created a stress-producing engine which has given birth to near panic, even for Christians. When we add to that the "normal" stress we face in all other areas of life, we can feel crushed. Healthy stress, a response to warn and help us in times of danger, can turn into a tyrant or bully when it gets out of control. In this book, the author lays out the steps needed to dethrone the stress bully. When put in its place, believers can then think with a clearer head about what God has said and will make better decisions to walk through whatever life brings. The greatest tool God has given to those who trust Him is faith. Examples are given to illustrate how much faith you actually have and prove that your faith, along with sufficient courage to act on that faith, already reside within you. Finally, the book sketches out God's overall plan for the world and for each believer. The role God will play in our everyday lives, and the role He expects us to play are clearly defined. With a combination of this understanding and these tools, the believer can push aside unhealthy stress and learn to walk through life as a Stress-Free Believer.

My Thoughts:

This is a nice quick read. I like books like this, that are designed so you can either read them all the way through in one sitting, or read one chapter at a time daily. I like the scripture in the book, the real-life examples, and the discussion points. I enjoyed this book, and it did give some points to think about and areas to work on in my own life. This book is worth the read, though my views on some points are very different from the author's.
