Many in Christian ministry have benefited from the wise counsel of Dr. Ruth Fowke - including the writer of this review. Ruth Fowke is a psychiatrist and an evangelical Christian. In this book she shares something of her knowledge and experience in psychiatry within the framework of the Bible. The sub-heading 'resolving the build-up of stress' reveals the theme and very practical content of this timely book.
The book is divided into three sections. Stress Management - discerning, evaluating and handling your stress load. Personality and Stress - assessing your personality traits and identifying problem areas. Food for Thought - looking at the person of God and biblical teaching on living a fulfilled life.
