Reviews
I've known for a long time I needed help coping with anxiety and depression. This book was published at just the right time in my life. I have felt lost and powerless in overcoming these obstacles, but the wealth of practical advice (e.g., the Four-Step Solution) and encouragement that Moreland provides in Finding Quiet is giving me hope as I begin to put some of it into practice. Honestly, as foolish as this sounds, I probably would never have bought a book on anxiety or depression, but having read his books The Soul, Consciousness and the Existence of God, and The Recalcitrant Imago Dei, I thought I'd give Finding Quiet a shot since I have come to so respect and appreciate his work in philosophy and since this has been the worst year of my life as far as anxiety and depression go. I am thankful to God for J.P. Moreland and thankful to Moreland for writing this book.
