Find freedom from worry, with insights and practical solutions based in the Bible and psychology
'A very thoughtful, balanced and practical approach.' - J.John, Evangelist

Worry has reached epidemic proportions. Many are suffering in silence, unsure if psychological solutions are appropriate for them, or if biblical teaching can lead them to freedom.

The Worry Book offers a fresh solution: seeing the process of worry as the problem, rather than getting stuck into individual concerns. We can often use worry to create a sense of certainty and control, but the illusion is temporary, and we generate even more problems in the process. Here we learn about the factors behind worry, and how to disable the cycle of worry and tolerate uncertainty - principles we can apply to every situation.

This is a journeyman's guide through the comedy and heartache of discovering worry's function, and so removing its power. Good theology and psychology combine here to offer new perspectives and real hope. You will find real lives and real people, and solutions which are both practical and doable.

Will van der Hart is a vicar in London who is known for his work in the field of mental illness. He is married to Lucinda, an author and journalist, and they have three children. Together, Will and Lucinda wrote The Pregnancy Book (IVP). Rob Waller is a consultant psychiatrist in Scotland, who has spent time living and working in New Zealand. He and his wife Susanna now live with their children in Edinburgh. Will and Rob are Directors of Mind&Soul, which hosts conferences and offers resources promoting faith and good mental health. They are the authors of IVP's The Guilt Book and The Perfectionist Book, which have brought comfort and help to many readers.
