While the biological virus has taken an untold toll on lives worldwide—medically and economically—the 'new virus' going forward may be summed up in two words: anxiety and worry. While our immediate attention is on our health and that of friends and loved ones, there is perhaps a greater need: How do we practice healthy emotional and spiritual 'hygiene' as we emerge from arguably the greatest crisis the world has seen since World War II?

Dr. Clinton examines science, psychology, physiology, and other concepts to help us cope with anxiety, but the primary focus is on the consistency of God's power, goodness, and love.
