Scary Stuff: How Knowing God and the Way He Made Us Helps With Anxiety and Worry

You’re a kid, but you weren’t born yesterday. You know there are dangerous things out there, plus things that make you feel a bit nervous, and being told ‘don’t worry about it’ doesn’t magically fill your mind with rainbows and ice cream.

You’ve also heard that God is powerful and loving, but just being told that doesn’t seem to kick your scary thoughts out either.

Dr Sarah has met lots of kids just like you, kids who are loved by God and who have worries they need to face. She’ll help you discover what fear is all about, how your body and mind work, and—best of all!—God himself (the one who’s bigger than the scary stuff and really can help!).

You’ll explore 10 Bible passages with your coach (hello parent or trusted adult!) and do 10 training sessions by yourself to use your upsetting experiences as a way to grow. The bad things won’t be gone, but your feelings about them will change as you come to know God better.

Oh, and if cats are one of your scary things—the one inside this book is very nice!

For kids 8–12 years old. Includes extra help for adults. Get out the pens and pencils!
