Author Description

Peace. What so many people lack today and look in all the wrong places to find, is attainable in only one place—in only One Person. In “Overcoming Despair,” author Tony Miano, through personal testimony and probative research, explains that anxiety and depression are not diseases that people have, they are behaviors in which people engage. In doing so, Miano exposes the mythology of “chemical imbalance theory,” the tendency of many to give undue authority to the medical community in matters that are not so much brain issues as they are heart issues, and the evangelical church’s hand in promoting the kind of errant thinking that leads people to look to medication instead of real transformation, which is found in Jesus Christ and His Word. He then provides practical, biblical tools for overcoming anxiety and depression, helping the reader to come to realize that there is hope—real hope—and that in Jesus Christ the battle they are fighting has already been won.
