[City], [Date] — Anxiety is everywhere. It manifests in sleepless nights, strained relationships, and the personal battles that no one sees. Dr. Christopher Kolker, a practicing physician and medical professor, has spent years watching patients struggle with it, and now he has written a guide he wishes he could hand to each one.
In Christian Medicine and Anxiety, Dr. Kolker offers a medically informed, spiritually rooted guide for Christians who are tired of quick fixes and seek genuine peace. The book doesn’t offer gimmicks or overpromises. Instead, it asks a simple question: what if anxiety is a call to return to God?
The book moves fluidly between clinical insight and scriptural reflection. Readers will find clear explanations of how anxiety works in the brain and body, alongside honest, hopeful discussions about faith, prayer, spiritual discipline, and surrender.
Through fictionalized patient stories inspired by real people, Kolker shows how anxiety takes shape in different lives and how transformation begins when we stop trying to control everything and start letting God in.
While the book discusses medical treatments and recognizes the importance of therapy and medication, it doesn’t stop there. Dr. Kolker believes lasting peace requires more than just a prescription; he says, I wrote this book to answer the questions I hear every day in my medical practice: What is happening to me? Why do I feel like this?
For believers struggling with anxiety—or for those caring for someone who is—Christian Medicine and Anxiety offers practical tools and spiritual direction without judgment or fluff. It’s the kind of book you underline, return to, and maybe even share with someone who needs it.
This book will soon be available on Amazon.
