When the Noise Won't Stop: A Christian Guide to Dealing With Anxiety

Paul Grimmond

Paperback 2022-07-01

A comprehensive study of what the Bible says about anxiety, written by a well-known pastor and preacher who has personally grappled with anxiety for many years.

Is there a relationship between anxiety and sin? If so, what does the Bible say about it? Does the gospel offer comfort to those suffering from anxiety disorders? How can our hope in Christ lead us when living seems impossibly hard? Are psychology and medication biblical ways to seek help?

When the Noise Won't Stop combines deep personal experience and comprehensive biblical study to demonstrate how the gospel addresses the pain and difficulty of anxiety. Avoiding simplistic answers while candidly sharing his own struggles, Dean of Students at Moore Theological College in Sydney, Paul Grimmond presents readers with a future that is both down-to-earth and full of hope, showing how the good news of Jesus offers light and promise to those who are suffering.

A well-known pastor and preacher, Paul begins with his story, outlining the perspectives of psychology and medicine. But the heart of this book is an in-depth consideration of how the Bible forms and addresses our understanding of anxiety.

When the Noise Won't Stop is a much-needed encouragement for Christians dealing personally with an anxiety disorder and for Christians caring for someone with this growing societal problem.

"If you wanted to read a Christian book about anxiety, what kind of author would you be looking for? Someone who is writing not just abstractly but from real personal experience? Someone who has years of experience as a tender-hearted pastor? Someone who always engages deeply, thoughtfully, and humbly with God's word? My friend Paul Grimmond is exactly this kind of author. Under God, this book is a great gift to the Lord's people, and I hope many will read it and be blessed by it." - Simon Flinders, Senior Pastor, St Marks Anglican Church, Northbridge

"Paul's pastoral warmth and honesty are so clearly expressed in this book. I expect many will benefit from his careful treatment of this important topic as they grapple with their own or their loved one's experience of anxiety within a Christian framework." - Kirsty Bucknell, Organisational Psychologist, Centre for Ministry Development, Moore College, Newtown

"The uniqueness of this book is its deep exploration of how the gospel speaks into the experience of the debilitating impacts of anxiety taking over human physiology. I appreciate the value of Paul Grimmond sharing his lived experience of symptoms, their effects, and their relationship context. Best of all are the biblical truths that bring clarity and hope to sufferers, and indeed to all of us with our different symptom vulnerabilities in this stress- filled world." - Dr Jenny Brown, Founder, Director Emeritus, family therapist and mental health specialist, The Family Systems Institute, Neutral Bay

"We live in increasingly anxious times, and Christians are not immune from mental ill health and conditions such as clinical anxiety. When The Noise Won't Stop is an excellent resource for those experiencing anxiety, and those seeking to help others who live with it. Taking a biblical wisdom approach and drawing on personal and pastoral experience, plus research from other disci- plines, Paul Grimmond sensitively helps the reader consider how it is possible to live faithfully and wisely with anxiety in a way that honours Jesus. The book also engages thoughtfully with questions such as the relationship between anxiety and sin, and provides practical tips for praying and self-care, while pointing us to the secure hope we have in Jesus.
I recommend this book; it has ministered to me personally and has helped to deepen my understanding of what a wise Christian response to living with anxiety looks like." - Sally Sims, Care Ministry Coordinator Christ Church (Anglican), St Ives
