Books:
Many friends have recommended the following books
to me. I'm in the process of reading them. I recommend them for
anyone that is overcome by anxiety or pain. These books share stories
of courageous people who triumph in difficult situations. The stories
are inspiring and give hope, no matter how difficult things may
get.
