OVERWHELMED Winning the War Against Worry

The Bible is full of people who are driven to despair by circumstances beyond their control, says the author/pastor, whose own depression made him consider suicide at one point. Connecting these examples to engaging stories from his own life, he shows how faith in Jesus and the power of the human spirit can help us look beyond life's pitfalls and regain positive momentum. Lee McDerment narrates with a boyish innocence that fits the optimistic, conversational tone of the writing. His performance makes this audio sound like kitchen-table talk from a neighborhood friend. With faith in Christ at its center and a well-organized collection of spiritual remedies to feeling defeated, this is amiable advice for Christians everywhere who are bogged down by overwhelming stress or depression.
