Advanced Writers and Speakers Association's Golden Scroll Merit
Award 12th Annual Outreach Resource of the Year Recommendation Our
culture is frantic with worry. We stress over circumstances we
can't control, we talk about what's keeping us up at night and we
wring our hands over the fate of disadvantaged people all over the
world, almost as if to show we care and that we have big things to
care about. Worry is part of our culture, an expectation of
responsible people. And sadly, Christians are no different. But we
are called to live and think differently from the worried world
around us. The fact is, worry is sin, but we don't seem to take it
seriously. It is a spiritual problem, which ultimately cannot be
overcome with sheer willpower-its solution is rooted entirely in
who God is. How can we live life abundantly, with joy, as God has
called us to do, when we're consumed by anxiety? We are commanded
not to worry, not only in the well-known words of Jesus recorded in
Matthew 6, but also throughout the Old Testament and the epistles
to the church. The Bible makes it clear that the future belongs
only to God, who rules and is not subject to the limitations of
time. To live with joy and contentment, trusting God with the
present and the future, is a countercultural feat that can be
accomplished only through him. Challenging the idolatrous
underpinnings of worry, former Christianity Today executive Amy
Simpson encourages us to root our faith in who God is, not in our
own will power. We don't often give much thought to why worry
offends God, but indulging anxiety binds us to mere possibilities
and blinds us to the truth. Correctly understanding the theology of
worry is critical to true transformation. This is a book not just
for people who worry; this is a call to the church to turn its eyes
from the things of earth and fix its eyes on the author and
completer of our faith.
