"Dr. Roudkovski has written the sort of book counselors hope their clients will discover. With clear prose, she demonstrates that anxiety is not an enemy to be annihilated but a signal to be understood, teaching readers to draw near enough to their fears to listen to them yet stand far enough away to see the world without the distorting tint of panic. Quietly at home within the framework of acceptance and commitment therapy, this volume offers a remedy to the intellectual pathogen that has convinced many sincere Christians to equate anxiety with a lack of faith."
