Finding Quiet: My Story of Overcoming Anxiety and the Practices that Brought Peace by J. P. Moreland

Finding Quiet: My Story of Overcoming Anxiety and the Practices that Brought Peace by J. P. Moreland is I've known for a long time I needed help coping with anxiety and depression. This book was published at just the right time in my life. I have felt lost and powerless in overcoming these obstacles, but the wealth of practical advice (e.g., the Four-Step Solution) and encouragement that Moreland provides in Finding Quiet is giving me hope as I begin to put some of it into practice. Honestly, as foolish as this sounds, I probably would never have bought a book on anxiety or depression, but having read his books The Soul, Consciousness and the Existence of God, and The Recalcitrant Imago Dei, I thought I'd give Finding Quiet a shot since I have come to so respect and appreciate his work in philosophy and since this has been the worst year of my life as far as anxiety and depression go. I am thankful to God for J.P. Moreland and thankful to Moreland for writing this book.

Finding Quiet: My Story of Overcoming Anxiety and the Practices that Brought Peace by J. P. Moreland is This book is profoundly helpful. After spending decades trying one method after another to try to get some relief from anxiety and depression, and feeling hopeless, this book brings everything together into one model that is practical and can be practiced leading to real relief. I’m deeply thankful!

Finding Quiet: My Story of Overcoming Anxiety and the Practices that Brought Peace by J. P. Moreland is As Christians, many of us learn all the right stuff that we are supposed to. We know we are loved and are to love, to not be afraid, to seek refuge in God, and even take captive our thoughts. Though many of us are still struggling with depression and anxiety. Moreland simply and brilliantly takes countless books and biblical wisdom and tells us how to actively engage in the “doing”. His example of a golfer reading and watching everything they can, and expecting to be a great golfer without ever stepping foot on a golf course is profound. I am indebted to Moreland for this book. He took months of my own research, self-help books, and biblical studies and simplified them into step by step daily habits. In a horrible anxiety attack just a day after reading the first three chapters I was able to use the knowledge he shared and was able to enjoy the quiet I have so longed for. This is a book for doing, not simply for reading and putting on the shelf. Backed scientifically and biblically, this little book can transform your daily life and make you more than a conqueror of your body and mind.

Finding Quiet: My Story of Overcoming Anxiety and the Practices that Brought Peace by J. P. Moreland is In Finding Quiet, J.P. Moreland pairs personal experience and research to bring a great addition to the mental health conversation. Having suffered with deep anxiety and depression, Moreland talks about the journey he has been on both physically and spiritually as he has worked toward health.In addition to seeking the help of medical professionals, he also began to cultivate spiritual practices, which he unpacks in detail within the book. He writes knowledgeably and accessibly with great compassion for his reader.I would recommend this book to those who suffer from anxiety and depression as well as those who have loved ones who suffer from such illnesses. I would also urge pastors seeking to understand such a prevalent health concern within their congregation.There is not much discussion or compassion within the church for those on their own mental health journey and Moreland's book is here to set a new precedent. He removes the need to feel shame or hide mental health struggles and instead sheds light on solutions and ultimately points to hope. Finding Quiet will be a resource for years to come!
