About this ebook

Stress has become part of our daily lives. We worry about our jobs, our relationships, and our families. And while there's no lack of remedies for anxiety, no solution seems to offer true peace of mind.

John MacArthur, Jr. believes that peace is not only possible, it's a divine mandate. Drawing from a rich legacy of teaching and ministry, MacArthur puts aside cultural cures to uncover the source of our anxiety and stress. Based on solid Biblical insights, Anxious for Nothing shares how we can overcome uncertainty, defeat doubt, and be truly worry-free.

This revised and updated edition includes a guide for both personal and group study and features discovery questions, suggestions for prayer, and activities, all designed to connect life-changing truths with everyday living.

Ratings and reviews

FIrst, there is a an assumption I believe by John that "anxiety" symptoms and "worry" are always synonymous . This is not always the case. If your anxiety symptoms are caused by "worry", "doubt", etc. then this book may be a great help to you. The problem is that you may have the symptoms of "anxiety" brought on by certain medical conditions, prescription drugs, OTC drugs, etc. for instance Omeprazole, which can cause a deficiency of certain minerals that if there is a deficit of these minerals, you will be "shaky", "nervous", etc. Even too much caffeine can cause some people to become flustered, shaky, etc. in a way that can lead to a misdiagnosis of being anxious. I can appreciate that John put out this book to help people, but, I think that it isn't comprehensive enough to get to the root of why people may have anxiety symptoms. A more appropriate title may have been "Worry" For Nothing.

Such an amazing book. I enjoyed reading it. I was battling with anxiety for the longest but this book has really helped me come on top and view things from a different perspective. I would really recommend this book to anyone struggling with anxiety or want to help anyone going through anxiety.

Really great book! This book reminded me again what the Bible says that we should be anxious for anything.
