Episode Summary:
I’ve got some exciting news to share with my listeners and readers this week! So many of you have asked for it, and it’s finally here! We’re announcing the soon to be released book that YOU asked me to write, to help you in your struggles with worry, fear, and anxiety. Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises will be released by Baker Revell on September 17, 2019.
This book is truly a gift from my heart. It was written with you in mind, much like my first book, “Hope Prevails: Insights From a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression,” Breaking Anxiety’s Grip is written from a dual perspective of a doctor who has treated thousands of patients with anxiety, and as a fellow sufferer.
As I began to really research for this book, however, God revealed to me that worry, fear, and anxiety are not our portion; peace is. He came to give us peace. In Breaking Anxiety’s Grip, I share what worry, fear, and anxiety are, where they come from, and what tools we can use to conquer them.
I want to encourage you to go pre-order the book now because we have some amazing pre-order bonuses bundled together to give you for free to everyone who pre-orders before September 16, 2019. We are offering digital downloads of the Fear No More Declaration, 3 Beautiful word art prints, 3 fun adult coloring pages, the Spotify link that includes all the songs included in the Recommended PlayList at the end of every chapter. The pre-order bundle also includes a digital download of an original painting by Emily Curiak titled “The Price of Peace,” as well as the digital download of Recover: Rest, Relax, Revive, and Rejuvenate playlist with 6 originally composed piano tracks by award-winning composer, producer, and pianist Jamar Jones.
In coming weeks, we’ll talk more about worry, fear, and anxiety: what is it, where does it come from, and what do we do about it. But for now, I just wanted to share this exciting news and invite you to come along on the journey with me.

About Dr. Bengtson
Dr. Bengtson studied neuroscience and is board certified in clinical neuropsychology. She established her own clinical practice in the Dallas area. From her professional and personal life, she recognized a deep lack of understanding of the call to “renew our minds” and the transformational effects a robust understanding of this has on our physical and mental health and outlook.
Dr. Bengtson lives to foster regeneration and renew life in her listeners. She recognizes brokenness in her life and others’ and offers steps we can take as we walk with Christ through the thin places.
Dr. Bengtson authored the award-winning “Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression” and its award-winning companion “Hope Prevails Bible Study.” Her third book, “Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises” will be available in September 2019 (Revell). She blogs at DrMichelleB.com. She is a frequent guest on Fox News Radio and speaks at conferences and churches internationally.

Dear Dr. Michelle, so enjoyed your video and hearing about your new book. I have suffered with worry, fear and anxiety over my lifetime of 72 years and I know how important it is to read your book and gain freedom and peace. Thank you so much for this message and for writing your new book. I gained freedom from fear, my main issue for over 40 years, but that is something I must daily choose is to walk in the that freedom because the enemy wants to bring it back and I say NO TO FEAR, ANXIETY or WORRY! I choose PEACE! I am so excited to read your book. I have seen your other posts and have already pre-ordered the book and joined your Launch Team! I want everyone to know about this amazing book and about all your resources!! I love and appreciate you so much!!
Dear Karen, You know how painful and exhausting it can be to live an anxious life. I pray all who read Breaking Anxiety’s Grip will be set free just as you have.
Can’t wait to read the book. Honestly I struggle with PTSD but most resources about generalized anxiety offer bits of help. Thanks for sharing this.
I pray it blesses you. For anyone who pre-orders before September 16, they not only get the book but all the pre-order bundle freebies too!
I look forward to reading what God has put on your heart to share.
I’m so excited for this new book Michelle. Such a needy topic! I think it will do well and help a lot of people.
