I am reviewing a copy of Evangelical Anxiety through HarperOne and Netgalley:






Charles Marsh suffered panic attacks and debilitating anxiety for years.  As an Evangelical Christian, he was taught to trust in the power of God and His will. While his Christian community resisted therapy and personal introspection.  Marsh eventually came to know he’d need help.  






Marsh tells the story of his struggle to find peace and the dramatic, In this riveting spiritual memoir, inspiring transformation that redefined his life and his faith.  He examines the tensions between faith and science and reflects on how his own experiences offer hope for bridging the gap between the two.  Marsh is honest and revealing as he traced the roots of shame, examines Christian notions of sex, faith, and mental illness and their genesis, and chronicles how he redefined his beliefs and rebuilt his relationship with his community.







If you’re looking for a unique portrayal of an Evangelical Christians struggle with anxiety, and depression.






I give Evangelical Anxiety five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
