Explore these Key Themes
We Are Called to Follow and Imitate Jesus Every Day
Finding lasting peace can be as easy as heeding Christ's call to walk with him and grow closer to him.
Worry Separates Us from Jesus
The reason Christ repeatedly stresses that we shouldn't be too anxious is that it can prevent us from turning to him with our needs.
Fear Is Different from Worry
While fear and worry are used interchangeably, understanding that fear is an emotion that we often cannot control and worry is a mental process that we can work to avoid can help ground you by giving you a sense of what you can and cannot change.
Encounters with Jesus Increase Our Peace
Staying close to Jesus and growing your relationship with him with prayer will bring you peace, even when outside forces try to steal that peace from you.
Breaking Free Is a Process
Most people will not be able to give up worry overnight. It is an ongoing effort, and there will be bumps in the road. Perfection isn't required, just the daily "yes" to trying.
We Were Made for Joy
Remember that God made you for joy and wants to give you the grace to avoid and overcome the habits (like worry) that steal that joy.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2024I just finished reading this book for the third time and will probably start a fourth time! This book helped in my walk and relationship with Jesus as I was struggling with anxiety about some things in my life and about the future. This book helped me to focus more on God and less on my problems, as the author mention
ed. Thank you very much, Gary, for this powerful tool we can use in times of worries and when we are burdened with great anxiety.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021Gary's approach quoting Holy Scripture, supported by a simple reflection daily, yields positive results

- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021In "Give Up Worry For Good" by Gary Zimak, you will find that no author writes from his heart and soul about worry like this author. Gary Zimak is someone who self-identifies as a worrier. And boy did he knock this book out of the park! As I'm a Catholic Book Club Host, and a worrier too, I have spoken to many book club members who also have issues with worrying - after all, who wouldn't worry in a world of Global Pandemic and strife? I have chosen this masterpiece book for our book club members to read in my 2021 book pick lineup. I'm confident that this book will bless so many with the tools to navigate through the rough waters of worry to the tranquil oasis of peace. Gary uses Christ's words and teachings to refocus the reader to a better worry-free life. BUY THIS BOOK!

- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021Every single paragraph was loaded with practical spiritual pearls! It’s not often you find a boo that is so applicable to everyday life and can help you discern Gods will. Excellent book. Highly recommend!
