Anxiety… and How to Conquer It by Michael Ruth, PhD — A Christian Book on the Psychological and Spiritual Roots of Anxiety
Using relatable stories that resonate with real-life experiences, this book explores both the psychological and spiritual roots of anxiety, helping readers understand why anxiety develops, why it persists, and what specific actions you can take immediately to begin your journey to hope, peace, and healing. (The reader will also discover what anxiety has in common with Oz, the wizard behind the curtain.)
In this clear, accessible Christian guide, Dr. Ruth explains where anxiety comes from, why it sticks around, and how real healing begins. He blends psychology, human development, and biblical truth to help readers understand their fear instead of just fighting it.
Inside, you’ll learn:
How anxiety is built in the mind, and why it feels so hard to escape
How moral compromise can feed anxiety and guilt
The four arenas of existential anxiety every person faces
How personality development shapes anxious habits over time
The unique struggles Christians face with anxiety, and how faith brings freedom
This book is for anyone living with chronic worry or fear, Christians who feel ashamed of their anxiety, and pastors or counselors looking for a faith-based way to help others.
