Panic to Passion: Growing Passion for the Things in Life That Matter

While strolling a street in South Miami at the age of twenty, fresh out of the air force, Bob Kashey experienced the very first of the severe panic attacks that would completely govern the next twenty years of his life. The debilitating bouts of anxiety sometimes struck multiple times a day, and he quickly turned to different destructive techniques to mask the effects. Even if he could hide his condition from his wife and family and friends, there was one who did know and who offered a passionately loving helping hand-Jesus.

In Panic to Passion, author Bob Kashey recalls his journey from dark days to blossoming into exuberant passion for his life and everything in it. He explores how we can not only find the healing power of passion in our worship of Jesus Christ but the power of passion in all our life and work. Kashey's intense, candid revelations in venturing from his self-imposed prison make clear his pain, his confusion, and finally his wonder and enthusiasm for the new world opening out before him. The more of himself that he gave to the Lord, the more help he received and the more he was able to heal.

Jesus is passionate about us, loving us with a burning fire; whatever part of our lives feels empty or incomplete can become whole and strong if we but make His passion our own.
