This week Mike and Sarah talk with author Mary Holloman about her new book, The Anxious Lily.

Lola the Lily hasn’t a care in the world―until she pokes through the ground and realizes that she has no clothes! This realization is only the beginning of her worries.

What if her stem gets crinkled?

What if her petals get wet and soggy?

With so many things that could go wrong, Lola has no time to waste―she must make herself a complete wardrobe to prepare for all her worst fears.

Will Lola’s worries keep her from being the lily God created her to be?

Themes:

*Anxiety in Young Ones and Adults

*The Comparison Trap

*Finding Peace and Rest in God

*Growth in Every Season

*Contentment in Current Circumstances

*God's Sovereignty
