Now I do suffer from anxiety and at times depression and from what I gather there are stories in this book that heavily focus on such topics, along with other tough to talk about things. I have also noticed that a lot of people who are reading and enjoying this book would consider themselves to be religious and I am not. So I have to wonder, is this book one that will still be beneficial for those that are not a part of the religious community or is it so heavily religious that others will not be able to find much enjoyment in it. My goal is largely to look for lessons or help that dose not focus on prayer alone as a solution.
In no way am I against anyone's personal beliefs I just am looking at ways that this book might help those who are not part of said communities and who have no interest in joining one. I know stuff like this is a controversial or "hot topic" so please do not think that I am trying to upset anyone.
I am interested in the opinions of others who have came reading this book for the same reasons. Who else here dose not subscribe to the Christian way of life and yet have found this book to be enjoyable and or helpful?
I know you are wanting opinions from those who are non-religious so I want to be up front from the start that I accepted Christ in my life about two years ago. I feel I can offer a non-religious view (from my prior experience), even though I hold to the Christian beliefs central to this book. I suffered from extreme anxiety which lead to depression (they usually go hand in hand) all throughout my life. I would have moments of relief but it never quite went away. The only thing that truly helped me was focusing on the things I can control versus what I couldn’t. You don’t have to be religious to be able to apply this to your life. You’ll find this theme in all the stories, the only difference is the people experiencing them place God in control.
Also, the inspiring accounts of those who have been able to overcome their hardships and use their experiences to be a light to others who are in similar situations are something everyone can enjoy... in my opinion. You don’t have to be religious to achieve this either. I really hope this helps.
