Social Anxiety: Being Comfortable in Your Own Skin
$5.62“I’m just shy.” You’ve worn the label for so long that it has become your identity. A counselor recently described it as social anxiety, but the new label does nothing to ease the pain. You wish you could feel “comfortable in your own skin” but instead, in social situations, you feel anxious and out of place. Where can you go for help?
Amy Baker explains that confidence in God, not self-confidence, is the answer to the problem of social anxiety. Trusting in God breaks the paralyzing grip of fear, freeing formerly “shy” people to enter fully into relationship with God and others.

Stress: Peace Amid Pressure
$5.49Are you overwhelmed by stress? On edge? Pressured to achieve? Spinning into free fall? What is the “noise” going on inside you? Or are you quiet inside? David Powlison invites you to look at Psalm 131 to learn how to calm your soul. “Psalm 131 gives us intimate access to the inner life of someone who has learned composure,” Powlison writes.
“This person is quiet on the inside because he has learned the only true and lasting peace.” Psalm 131 is not about unruffled detachment or stoic indifference. It’s not about having an easygoing personality or low expectations. It is about learning composure through a relationship with Jesus Christ. His presence in our lives is the only thing strong enough to overpower stress. We can learn how to say with the psalmist, “Surely I have composed and quieted my soul.” (Psalm 131:2)
