Fight, Flight and Faith: A Life with Anxiety and Jesus

About this ebook
Can a Christian be anxious and still have faith?
When nineteen-year-old Nikki Thompson lost her older brother, Greg, in a car accident, her stable world of faith and family became unsafe overnight. This was followed by a painful, decades-long journey with clinical anxiety and panic disorder—a journey that involved both seasons of trying to fight and flee from the pain—and, eventually, the beginnings of an expanded, reawakened faith.
For the ever-increasing number of people suffering the pain of anxiety, for the weary, for those who fear they have failed themselves, others, and God; for strung-out believers constantly stretching and straining for a piece of peace; this book is a reminder that wherever we stand, Jesus—our older brother, our refuge, and our fellow sufferer—is ever near, beckoning us to come join him on the journey.
