What Others Are Saying
Having received the highest level of professional education in both medicine and ministry, Carol Peters-Tanksley is rightfully a physician of the body and soul. Her knowledge of the Bible and medical science refracted through the prism of her extended experience as a medical doctor and minister is reflected in these pages in a most helpful way. Her goal is to minister healing and wholeness to individuals who deal in one way or another with anxiety and fear. There is biblical wisdom, spiritual insights, and practical advice in this volume. Written in simple and straight forward language and avoiding unnecessary clinical and theological vocabulary, this book will offer insights, illumination and spiritual direction to both casual and sophisticated readers. I am happy to recommend it highly to anyone desiring healing and wholeness and a life of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

I am pleased to endorse Dr. Carol Peters-Tanksley’s latest book Overcoming Fear and Anxiety through Spiritual Warfare. Dr. Peters-Tanksley provides sound mental health and spiritual advice concerning one of the most common mental health and spiritual challenges evidenced today: anxiety. Her description of the many aspects of life that contribute to fear and anxiety is clear and easily understood. The suggestions she makes regarding ways to overcome anxiety are clearly in-line with principles of good mental health. Most importantly, her approaches to overcoming the spiritual aspects of anxiety are sound and are biblically based. She describes spiritual warfare and the processes involved in overcoming the “slings and arrows” of life in language that confirms the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit as available to everyone who is in distress. Dr. Tanksley truly believes, as do I, that God does not desire any of God’s children to be bound by fear or anxiety.

Overcoming Fear and Anxiety through Spiritual Warfare by Dr. Carol Tanksley is one of the most valuable and well-written resources on mental health, fear, and anxiety that I have come across. I recommend this book for pastors, educators, mental health workers, those in the helping professions, and anyone who has struggled with fear or anxiety. As someone who has faced sexual abuse, chronic illness, long-term caregiving, and other stress-related issues, I found Dr. Tanksley’s approach to be refreshingly insightful, comprehensive, and compassionate while remaining biblically and medically sound.

Speaking from her unique vantage point of theological and clinical integration, Dr. Carol addresses the important, yet controversial, topic of spiritual warfare with sensitivity and insight. Her realistic perspective and holistic approach lend themselves to a fresh and helpful understanding of the interaction between human experience and spiritual forces. I especially value the manner in which Dr. Carol dispels magical notions of spiritual warfare by emphasizing the practical strategies by which God works by His Spirit within the human heart. I heartily recommend this book for anyone seeking to effectively address experiences of fear and anxiety.
