I'm sharing it here on the general discussion as it has seriously changed my perspective on things.

It's called "Calm My Anxious Heart" by Linda Dillow

Calm My Anxious Heart

I have found myself saying more positive things and I've become happier...and, yes, ladies...it's even time for Aunt Flo and I'm in a GOOD mood.

It's for anyone who needs to change their attitude about their circumstances. My best friend recommended it to me when I told her that she sounded different on the phone the past few months. She said it was this book. It's amazing.
It's a Christian book, but I think it's principles can reach many others.

I just had to share!!!

I'm pretty sure I saw that book at Costco yesterday. After reading your review, I think I might buy it for my mom. My dad died almost 2 years ago, and my mom is so filled with anxiety a lot of the time. She's not negative about her circumstances, just stressed. Thanks for letting us know how much you enjoyed it.

Ok, the more I thought about it the more I wanted or needed that book. So, I just ordered it on Amazon for about $12. Thanks for the insight now I just have to wait for it to come

Thanks Heidi!! Is it written just from a woman's perspective, or could a man relate to it, too? My DH is a chronic worrier (his Dad was, too), and always looks at the dark side of everything. This would make a great gift for him.

Marcia - I remember when your Dad passed. I'm so sorry. I hope your Mom starts doing better in the New Year.

Parts of it talks to a women's psyche, but I think it's great for a man too! My step mom ordered the book from her library so my dad could read it. I honestly think anyone could take away something good from it.

I'll have to get it too. I get so anxious when I think about the upcoming court hearing regarding little dd that it sometimes overtakes me. I have been getting better thanks to advice from Ginny, but I like Linda Dillow and I definitely want to see what she has to say. Thanks Heidi.

We are doing this book right now for our neighborhood women's Bible study that I lead. We are getting a lot out of it.
