It's 12:30 at night and my husband is in the shower, so I have like 15 minutes to explain.
I've been reading this book called the Bondage Breaker this week. My wonderful sister-in-law recommended it highly to me when she found out I am struggling with anxiety. She went through it, for different reasons, and loved it and it really impacted her life. Basically, this book talks about how many of the lies we believe come from demons and Satan whispering in our ear (and how to stand firm in Christ and keep your eyes on him) from a Biblical standpoint. That's not to say that all Christians agree with him, but the evidence for what he says is very grounded in scripture.
Anyway, I'm not sure I recommend it for those struggling with anxiety. Why, you ask. I have had nightmares all week including my dog being possessed by a demon and going to a house and a whole lot of dead invisible people talking to me. Creepy! I think it may be a good book, but probably not wise for someone to read alone after dark.
I can't finish it. I actually want to finish it, but I'm afraid to. I emailed my sister-in-law telling her how freaked out I was, but she doesn't check messages that often I think. :-( Maybe when I go home, I'll finish it with her. I want to hear her opinions and I wonder if it scared her.
Well, I put it on the bookshelf to be saved for Not when I am going through anxiety medicine withdrawal (and hopefully a time when I don't have to go through it by myself). But I am a very curious person, and I would like to finish it. Maybe in a couple months...
Back to my biographies...
I am reading I am Hutterite. I good book, but go figure, in the second chapter she sees visions of her dead mother because she misses her mom so much. I was so freaked out that night. I had to wake my husband up and ask him to pray for me so I could even go back to sleep. I may have had to do that every night this week. Pathetic or cute? I guess it depends on weather you are my husband or not. I love him so much!
