I Don't Have to Hold it All Together

Description

In the beginning, God poured His love into a garden. The Bible begins with the story of creation. God builds a beautiful world . . . and a garden. In the garden of Eden, creation drank of God s goodness and lived in His perfect peace. Yet since the fall of humanity, we ve all struggled to find or create our own versions of Eden. We ve been chasing peace in all the wrong places. Nichole Suvar knows this all too well. Living with undiagnosed anxiety for over 30 years, she s tried to build a garden of Eden through perfectionism, control, and endless activity. These self-made solutions only deepened her unrest. I Don t Have to Hold it All Together invites you to return to the garden God created, where true peace was designed, and discover how His original plan holds the answers to your deepest desires. Weaving personal stories, practical wisdom, and insights from experts, Nichole explores the deep truths embedded in God s original garden, truths about communion with God, purpose, community,the goodness of creation, boundaries, true rest, and more. The rise of anxiety in our culture reflects a broken search for peace. Readers are invited to cultivate a life that seeks after God s original plan of peace and comfort and identify areas in their life where they have built their own false Eden. The peace we ve been searching for isn t something we can create ourselves; it s been available to us all along. Come receive His gift.
