  1. Cyndi Johnson

    I’m excited to finish reading this book giving biblical insight to Christian’s who suffer from OCD. Rob doesn’t write from the perspective of an outsider looking in—he writes from personal experience. Throughout the book, he shares how leaning on God for guidance and finding strength in Scripture helped him navigate his struggle with OCD, a challenge that more people face today than many of us realize. It’s an encouraging and hope-filled read for anyone looking for biblical wisdom, understanding, and support.

  2. Becca Anderson

    So many people today struggle with OCD or associated conditions, and long for someone who’s been in the trenches to show them how to handle it. Rob Johnson is that person. From endless personal struggle, hospitalization, counseling, and medication, to personal Bible study and deep dives into what the Bible says about OCD, he’s been there, done that, worn out the t-shirt. It’s startling to see how faith can turn a gentle, healing light on this whole topic.
    The most important part of this book, however, isn’t how much Rob has studied or what he’s been through. It’s the fact that you will feel he’s sitting beside you with his arm around you and assuring you that you’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and you are not without hope. That alone is worth the price of a read through the book. It’s a gem that you’ll want to go back to over and over once you recognize its value.
    Get it, absorb it, and begin your own journey to a better mental place. You’re not alone, and Rob is cheering you on.

    Rob Johnson speaks from experience. His writing is engaging, while being informative and practical. He combines both a biblical and therapeutic perspective to the subject of OCD. A must read for anyone dealing with OCD, either personally or relationally.
