Interesting book. Book cover was very nice and caught my attention at first. It contains the word of God, promise over anxious heart. Very organized. Found it nice to read.

This was honestly a difficult book to review simply because of the formatting. This book is not the kind of book that can easily be read from beginning to end as it is meant to be what you turn to in times of need.

However, that being said, this book is very good for when you need reassurance from God but aren't sure where in your Bible to turn to. Personally, I am not well-versed in the exact location of certain Bible verses, so this was a good thing to turn to whenever I was in need of God's word, especially during especially anxious times as I suffer from anxiety. I like that there are multiple verses for each section if you feel like you need more than just a single sentence for comfort and I especially enjoyed the fact that each section had it's own prayer to help you work off of if you're not sure where to start when asking God for help.

Overall, this book is very good for when you need a boost, and I'll certainly be turning to it when I need that little bit of extra assurance.

I really enjoyed this book and found its content very helpful. As a person who struggles with anxiety and has a difficult time with medications, I look for alternate ways to help me and this little book was great. I definitely recommend for anyone with anxiety or as a little gift for a friend who struggles with it as well.

I received an ARC of this book from Barbour Publishing, Inc. via NetGalley, this review is my personal opinion.


Let’s be honest, sometimes even do we know reading the bible seems hard, trials and problems overwhelm us and if you had a time when you lost track of your daily habits and how to get back must of the time seems a huge problem. I believe this book represents a great opportunity for either hard where you may not know what to read of the bible or good days you are grateful to God for his blessing or maybe just as bible study of the promise we found here. We have several topics ordained alphabetic order, so you can choose the order to be read. And also we can find them in a different version, which makes easier to understand.

For someone who suffers from major anxiety, I found this book to be very interesting. I enjoyed all the devotional passages that this book offered. Even though the title says "for the anxious heart" I feel strongly that this can be for anyone young or old. At some point in everyone's life, everyone experiences some kind of anxiety or have. I recommend this book for everyone who might need a little pick me up in their lives or some spiritual direction.

The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heart is a collection of short devotions meant to displace anxiety with healing, comfort, and peace. The devotions are comprised of Bible verses, the author’s own prayers, and hymn lyrics.

The devotions are alphabetically arranged, from Abilities to Worship. So if you have a problem with worry, let’s hope you don’t also have OCD and a compulsion to read through all the devotions that come before Worry, before reading the section on Worry!

I liked that the author used several different translations of the Bible, instead of chaining the reader to a single translation. In this way Thompson had the freedom to select the translation of that verse which best stated the sentiment of the topic of that devotion. It also gives the reader a chance to see what may be a favorite verse, in a refreshing new way.

If you want to banish anxiety from your heart, this book is a great resource of prayers, scripture, and hymn lyrics to point you toward comfort, healing and peace.

I received an arc of this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I liked how this book covered many topics with verses to help you, and a few verses from a hymn. This book didn't really stick out to me, but if you struggle with any of the subjects covered, (anxiety, stress) etc, this book can be very beneficial to you.

I loved the format of this book. There’s a prayer by the author to begin each topic’s reading, followed by a list of scripture verses for that topic. There’s quite a few topics listed and these are very help for quick reference for those times you need comfort and encouragement from God’s Word. I looked at this from an ebook version, but I’d like to purchase an actual copy to have near at hand when at home or traveling. This would make a great gift for ladies of all ages.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

"The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heart " by Janice Thompson is a practical and helpful book for the Christian life. The book starts out with a very personal prayer on different topics. After the prayer you will see verses that go with that topic. The author shows the reader she understands how you can be anxious about the different topics. The reader will know they are not alone in the midst of their anxiety. The reader will be drawn closer to the Lord by reading each passage. We live in a world filled with stress and anxiety. This book is a reminder to turn our hearts and minds to the Lord when we are anxious. This book was given to me by the publisher and netgalley . I was asked to give a fair and honest review. I am not obligated to give a positive review. Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heart by Janice Thompson is not a devotional like I first thought it was. I actually really liked that this book contained no devotional. Instead, it has a prayer, verses, and a quote. I really like how the topics are titled so you can skip around to find verses and prayer that you need.

Each topic contains a number of great verses. The topics in the book are organized alphabetically for easy navigating. I also liked the addition of the quote. I suggest also buying sticky notes along with this book so you can write out your favorite verses and quotes to stick around the house. While it does lack a devotional, it really isn't needed as the scripture speaks for itself.

The prayer was also really great for those times when you need to pray, but the words are too hard to find. All in all I couldn't find anything I didn't like. This is an amazing resource that I truly believe anyone could benefit from.

I received this book free from netgalley in exchange for this honest review.

The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heart is an excellent tool to remember the promises of God and apply them to your daily life. Thompson begins each topic with a heart felt prayer to help you understand you are not alone in situations and feelings you may be facing. I recommend this book to anyone who may be facing anxiety, trials, or anyone who needs a reminder of God's sovereignty. In the introduction Janice speaks on not letting this book replace your quiet time with God. I applaud her for the transparency, wisdom, and boldness to speak on this. The only con I have is that I wish I had it in paperback rather than an e-book. I give this book a 5 out of 5. The Bible Promise Book for the Anxious Heart By Janice Thompson is a book that is applicable for everyday life, leaving your heart no longer anxious but with God's peace after you declare the promises given!
Thank you Baurbor Publishing and Janice Thompson for allowing !e to review this spectacular tool for every day Christian life. Another big thank you to Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book which has brought me peace and victory through the word of God!
