Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Attacking Anxiety
Shawn Johnson · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Shawn Johnson
70/100
👍 Worth It
Johnson's willingness to name his own panic disorder from the pulpit is rare in Christian leadership writing, and that transparency gives the faith-and-mental-health integration real weight rather than just motivational gloss. The author narration is soothing and pastoral — Craig Groeschel's foreword read adds an extra layer of pastoral warmth — though readers needing clinical detail rather than biblical framing will find this incomplete.
