<transcy>Living Without Worry (Une vie sans inquiétude)</transcy>

Presentation

We are all worried. Worry often takes up too much space in our lives, and it is never welcome. How great would it be if there was a way to worry less, or even not worry at all in difficulties.

If you ever worry, this book is for you. The answers he offers are far from trivial and ordinary, but they get to the heart of the problem. You will learn about the true nature of worry, why it troubles us, and how to replace it with genuine, lasting peace in the midst of life's ups and downs.

Recommendations

Tim writes as he preaches: based on the scriptures. We will never be relieved of our worries unless we find Him who is greater than us. He's the one Tim leads us back to constantly in this well-written, easy-to-study book.
- Bob Inglis, Former US Congressman

This is the best book I have read on worries, a most disheartening subject. At first I was worried about whether he would really help me, but as I read I found myself praising the Lord for himself and his works for his people. And the more I praised him, the less anxious I felt.
- Samuel Logan, International Director, The World Reformed Fellowship

In his book, Tim Lane offers a unique combination of knowledge and compassion for the many anxieties of this world, with an emphasis on God, Jesus Christ and eternity. It offers readers a reliable diagnosis of worry and provides a relevant, biblical, heart-centered prescription for replacing anxiety with peace.

I'm worried. All my efforts to get rid of the worry have failed miserably and made me even more worried. But here's finally a book that helps break that cycle. Tim Lane defines the very nature of worry and why it affects us all. He then gently directs us towards a better way of life, more biblical and filled with the grace of the Gospel. An accessible book, a must-read for anyone wishing to embark on the path of renouncing worry.

Timothy Lane deals with our anxiety issues with biblical and personal language. I recommend this enjoyable, yet profound, book to anyone for whom life is difficult in this uncertain world.

Tim's language is simple, but not simplistic; he uses compassion while forcing us to assume our responsibilities. Whether you are worried or looking to help those who are, this book is for you. You probably won't stop worrying, but you will find ways to understand this feeling and strategies to combat it.
