About the Author:
Kathy wanted to be a writer when she was a teenager, she just didn't know what it looked like. As a young mom, she took a community writers class and learned about a query letter. She sent one off and as a result, sold my first article. Then she went to a writers conference and three years later, published her first book. It was called Out of Control and told the story of how God delivered me from being a child abuser. Now over 30 years later, she has 49 published books and #50 contracted. She loves writing and speaking. Her passion is to help Christians trust God more and to help others know how much God loves them.
She lives in Southern California with her husband, Larry, of 43 years. They've written books together and speak together on marriage. She feels privileged and grateful to serve God as a writer and speaker.

This book really spoke to me. To be honest, before reading this book, I didn't really think I was much of a worrier. But Kathy brought to light some areas of my life I tend to worry about more than I realized.
Kathy writes chapters in concepts of storms, - tornadoes, ice storms, rain, etc... In each one she analyzes a characteristic of worry, how it affects us, what God's Word says and how to combat those worries with Scripture and prayer. This book has challenged me in many ways: going to God first, worrying less, and stop excusing my worry as concern, or love. Many times worrying about people can even hinder our relationships with them as they will not feel comfortable sharing things that happen with us, or maybe avoid us altogether.
At the end of each chapter are questions for individual or group discussion. Kathy has also included a refreshing letter from God reminding us how He feels about us, and our value, and that He is in control of our concerns.
