If you are looking for as healthier, less stressful way to deal with stress, then Stress: Climbing Out of Its Pits with God is a must read. Dr. Steven Haymon has done extensive work with mood disorders, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders, and is a trusted voice in the area of stress management. Personal experiences gave him the adder knowledge and insight to discuss such a topic. He encountered rejection, obscurity, alienation, uncertainty, exploitation, victimization, fear, and failure, all of which "stressed him out." This led him to truly understand not just what stress was, but the many roads we travel in an attempt to escape it.
Some of the topics discussed are: coping with stress, alcohol, religion, blaming, sin, solving stress, responding to stress, It is Better to (For)give, (D)anger! (D)anger! And more.
One very important thing that Dr. Haymon touched on was the area of sin: "Sinning promotes stress. When we sin, we separate from God. Not being under God's protective covering is extremely uncomfortable. Our separation from Him makes us susceptible to our vulnerabilities. Our deliverance from the vices in which we indulge is contingent on the power of God working in our lives." Living a sinful lifestyle is highly stressful and can lead to en early death.
The knowledge gained from this book, if taken heed to, will revolutionize you life and lead you to more stress-free living.
