Calm My Anxious Heart: A Woman's Guide to Contentment
reviewed on + 151 more book reviews


I was looking for something to help with anxiety, maybe some daily positive affirmations, reassurance, etc. Instead, this CD focused primarily on being contented with what you have, gratitude, etc. And, at least as I experienced it, the tone was not comforting, but instead guilt-producing. After a couple of chapters what I was hearing was that if I was anxious or discontent in any way I was probably a bad Christian and should stop that immediately. NOT good for the ol' anxiety, so I quit listening.

So, overall, this CD probably serves its purpose, but for me, it was really not what I needed.
