America is stressed; we all seem to be stressed in the present age, experiencing
anxiety, frustration, depression, and other mental and emotional struggles and little
wonder! We seem to be living in a time of uncertainty and upheaval, a very
turbulent time with the effects and pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the
confusing political scene playing out right before us. The negative effect of
unmanaged stress has become so great that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints has recently added an Emotional Resilience offering to its powerful Self-
Reliance program, focusing on managing stress and anxiety.
Dr. Karen Shores, recognizing this need and with over four decades of preparation,
gives us the gift of “STRESS MANAGEMENT: Lessons From The Savior.” Who better
qualified to write such a book with decades of teaching, studying and writing about
the management of stress, a lady who knows the effects of distress and the Savior’s
love from her own Gethsemanes.’ Having had the privilege of working with and
team-teaching with Karen in the Health Sciences, I personally know her credibility,
her excellent abilities as a teacher, a compassion to help others, and a strong
testimony and understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Shores’ book flows with an articulate description of the what’s, why’s and how’s
of stress management from a Gospel perspective. Her inclusion of stress-related
scriptures show us that Jesus Christ knew of our stressed world in our day and
counseled us in how to manage it for positive results and wellness. Added quotes
from church leaders and stories that highlight practical applications of successfully
managing stress are a plus.
Dr. Shores shares the keys of perception, physical and emotional responses to stress,
and how to return from a distressed state into homeostasis or healthy functioning.
She explains practical ways and techniques of positive stress management with
Gospel overtones, a great motivator.
Are you presently feeling stressed, anxious, the weight of the world on your
shoulders, frustrated and possibly depressed? Then this book is for you. “STRESS
MANAGEMENT: Lessons From The Savior” should find it’s way into every LDS home.
I highly recommend this book. It WILL increase your health and well-being.
