Book Description
This autobiographical account by Houston Pastor Jeff Wells describes his struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder during his adult years. In 1978, Jeff finished second place in the Boston Marathon, two seconds behind Bill Rodgers. This marked the beginning of his battle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. OCD affected every area of his life and caused so much pain - at times overwhelming anguish and torment for over 30 years. In the spring of 2011, while Jeff was pastoring a large and thriving congregation, he reached his low point with mental disease and recognized how deeply he needed help. Out of desperation, he cried out to God and with the overwhelming prayer and support of his church, a few key friends and professionals, and especially with the love and support of his wife Gayle, Jeff details his journey to healing. The book is honest and forthright, and will bring hope to the many people who struggle in silence with mental pain and to their families.

The Fear Paradox
Author: Frank Faranda
Publisher: Mango
ISBN: 9781642500578
Category : Anxiety
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Consequences of the Comfort Zone Over the last five hundred years, life for the average human being has changed dramatically -- plagues no longer wipe out entire families, and no longer do we empty our chamber pots into the street. Nope, not today. But, western progress has shown that no matter how many dangers we neutralize, new ones emerge. Why? Because our level of fear remains constant. Safety not guaranteed. For years, Dr. Frank Faranda studied a state of fearfulness in his patients--an evolutionary state that relentlessly drove them toward avoidance, alienation, hypercriticism, hyper-control, and eventually, depression and anxiety. He began to wonder how embedded these fears might be in contemporary society. This book aims to break us free from what he found. A culture of fear. Society is reaching increasingly extreme levels of comfort and safety, all while living in fear. As a result, fear is embedded into culture, creating new dangers, and isolating ourselves from one another. That's Faranda's Fear Paradox: even though fear has a prime directive to keep us safe and comfortable, it has grown into the single greatest threat to humanity and collective survival. Fear not. Faranda believes it is time for each of us to shine a light on our deepest fears, and to examine with fresh eyes the society that our fear is creating. Put an end to fearmongering and start to fear less, in The Fear Paradox learn about: The fear of pain and the fear of the unknown How fear has driven progress in the West The price paid to eradicate fear If you enjoyed reading books like Fear, The Culture of Fear, and The Science of Fear; then The Fear Paradox is your next read. Come on, what are you afraid of?

Worth It
Author: Brit Barron
Publisher: Broadleaf Books
ISBN: 1506463282
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Brit Barron grew up in an Evangelical megachurch in the '90s, trying to fit neatly inside the boundaries her church and its narrow view of God had placed around her. She was boxed in by her fears, unable to realize her full potential. All that changed when she met a girl named Sami, fell in love, and chose to leave behind those narrow boundaries in favor of a fuller and more vibrant life. In Worth It, Brit tells her story to inspire all of us to overcome our own fears--the kinds of fears that keep us from evolving beyond the narratives that have been handed to us by others. We can't avoid or outrun these fears, but if we face them, we'll find out that it was so worth it!
