Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Overcoming Anxiety, Worry, and Fear
Gregory L. Jantz · 2011
71/100
👍 Worth It
Jantz's whole-person model — threading clinical expertise with Christian faith — fills a genuine gap for readers who want their mental health guidance to speak their spiritual language. The Revell imprint and Jantz's credentialed background give it legitimacy within the faith-based self-help space. Secular readers will find the biblical framing prominent throughout, so this one is clearly aimed at a specific audience.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Explicitly Christian content throughout; secular readers should be aware the faith framing is central, not incidental. We still scored it 71; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
