Addressing Common Struggles, Finding Rest Already Tops Best-Selling Pre-Sale List
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 10, 2021 - Author Jonathon M. Seidl (Jon) gets personal in his debut book, Finding Rest: A Survivor’s Guide to Navigating the Valleys of Anxiety, Faith and Life (Sept. 28, 2021, Kregel Publishing, ISBN:978-0825446719). As we continue to face changes due to the pandemic, many people are suffering from anxiety, fear, and mental health issues. Seidl aims to help those who are struggling and fix the rampant stigma, especially in Christin circles, surrounding mental health challenges by being brutally honest about his own battles with anxiety and OCD.
Finding Rest guides readers through how to deal with their anxieties and provides much-needed tools to fight back. The book combines Seidl’s own life and struggles while mixing in compelling stories with Biblical truths and humor. Finding Rest is raw and riveting and will leave readers with the hope that they are not alone in their pain. The book is already getting a rave reception, becoming a #1 Amazon bestseller in numerous categories based on pre-orders alone.
“I didn’t write this book because I wanted to. I wrote this book because I needed to. I know what it’s like to feel lost, hopeless and confused. To have a plan to end it all because the anxiety and depression feel heavier than an Alaskan snowfall,” says Seidl. “This is for those who need a guide, for those who have been forgotten, misunderstood and misguided, especially by the church, which hasn’t addressed mental health in a helpful way. But I also needed to write it for my wife and those like her — the people who love those of us with anxiety but don’t know how to help and are often caught in the crossfire when they try. The pandemic awakened global anxiety that we have to fight back against. And I’m praying this book gives us all the tools to do just that.”
Finding Rest is a respite for so many struggling with mental health issues while being a truthful resource for friends, family, and church staff who are trying to find a way to help the people they love. It assures many hurting hearts that help is here.
“One of the most important things Jon talks about is that true rest will never be found outside of the One who created it,” writes Kirk Cameron in the foreword. “That person is Jesus Christ. Jon’s found that to be true. I’ve found that to be true. And I believe you will too.”
