"Here is the answer for those of us who think we may be too stressed to feel blessed.  Easy to read and digest, Dr. Mendes' principles provide a very practical and empowering prescription for people of faith to effectively manage the stress that affects all of us in these challenging times."

Pastor James J. Lobdell, Senior Pastor
Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church
Inglewood, California

"I have read God's Stress Management plan and found it to be very clear and practical for coping with every day problems and crisis in life.  The ten biblical principles that Dr. Mendes lifts before us can be effectively used by pastors, counselors, teachers and ministers in helping people deal with stress in their lives.  The book can be used in small group settings, teaching ministry and read individually by the average person.  Any one who reads this book will receive insights and practical help for themselves and others.  As a pastor, counselor and teacher, I highly recommend this book to be read and used by anyone in the helping profession."

Reverend, Dr. Arthur W. Davenport, Senior Pastor
First Church of God

"Dr. Mendes has written a book that provides practical and specific interventions based on biblical principles to reduce your stress!  What life changing news, if practices and implemented on a daily basis!"

Amelia C. Roberts, Ph.D., Associate Professor

"This is a great book on stress as it reveals in a clear useable format how to implement Paul's words in Philippians 4:6, 'Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.'  Praise God for providing Dr. Mendes with this insight to share with others."

Pastor Vanessa Dantzler, Senior Pastor
Apostolic Faith Home Assembly
Los Angeles, California

"Far too many Christians have been duped into believing that if their faith is strong they cannot be stressed.  They walk around saying a catchy slogan like "I am too blessed to be stressed!" The reality, however, is that stress is silently killing them!

Helen Mendes has written a very important book which helps Christians deal with hidden stress in a much more healthy manner.  This is a "must read" for every believer who understands that the bodies in which we live are temples of the Holy Spirit!"

Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., Senior Pastor
Trinity United Church of Christ
Chicago, Illinois

"This is a beautiful book.  It is much needed."

Rev. George T. Johnson, Ph.D.
Former District Superintendent
United Methodist Church, New York City, NY

"In the times that we are living, it seems that people are both overwhelmed and under equipped to handle life's pressures...just going through life, instead of living the God-filled life that has been planned for them.  This book gives step-by-step information on how to survive, work through and thrive in every area of our personal lives.  It is a dynamic book that can change lives, and is highly recommended. "

Tim Storey
