Pastor Kellie's Summer Book Club Workshop

“Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World”

by Max Lucado

We all encounter anxiety, but we don’t have to let worry and fear control our lives. Anxious for Nothing, from New York Times bestselling author, Max Lucado, provides a roadmap for battling with and healing from anxiety. Anxious for Nothing invites readers to delve into Philippians 4:6-7—the most highlighted passage of any book on the planet, according to Amazon.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understand- ing, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Stop letting anxiety rule the day. Join Pastor Kellie and Max on the journey to true freedom and experience more joy, clarity, physical renewal, and ] contentment by the power of the Holy Spirit.
