Publisher Description:
Cure the stress, revitalize your perspective, and reenergize your faith!
Women have a desperate longing for a stress cure. Stress-Less Living offers life-changing, heart-renewing, long-lasting remedies that will bring peace, even when things feel out of control.
Life is tense and offers no easy answers or quick fixes. The good news is that in a world of unrest and stress, readers can find the peace for which they hunger. Tracie Miles, in this breakthrough book, helps women unload the pressure cooker of life and learn to rely on the peace that Christ promises to all those who come to him. Tracie maintains that the direction many women receive today is attached to temporary helps like meditation, relaxation strategies, breathing exercises, and support groups. Stress-Less Living unpacks the truth found in Scripture about how to overcome fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, and shows the stressed-out woman how she can not only survive stress but thrive in spite of it through faith in the promises of God.
My Review:
Please note: This review is about the newly-published second edition of this book. The author has made some updates to reflect the current times in which we are living. When you look for this book, you’ll want to make sure you are looking for the second edition.
In this book, Tracie Miles freely shares about the highly stressful situations she has faced in her own life and the way stress has affected her both mentally and physically. Her openness in sharing her life quickly helps the reader to identify with her and realize that “I’m not the only one” who has experienced or is presently experiencing a high level of stress. She gives the reader a perspective on how stress affects us in many ways. But throughout the book, she continually urges us to return to the Bible to find how we can establish a strong relationship with God and find a firm foundation for dealing with all the stress that comes our way. I especially loved Chapters 8, 9, and 10 where the author skillfully draws everything together with practical suggestions and encouragement from scripture. There are thoughtful questions at the end of each chapter for focus and application.
There’s so much to think through in this book that I need to read it again. I’ve read an ebook for this review, but I’m going to buy a print copy so that I can better underline and write notes throughout the book.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
