Christian music singer and songwriter Jamie Grace will be releasing her brand new book releasing on October 13, "Finding Quiet: My Journey to Peace in an Anxious World." The book deals with her struggles with anxiety, Tourette syndrome, OCD, ADHD, and later her inner battles with panic attacks and self-harm.

"There will be a formal announcement soon, as there is an amazing team working behind the scenes but Y'ALL!!! I signed a BOOK DEAL!!!! On October 13, my new book 'Finding Quiet' comes out -- it's actually available for preorder on Amazon, now!" Jamie shared. "This book started as a journal to combatting anxiousness and managing my anxiety, and with the encouragement of my family is now a full-on BOOK."

Many of us live in between two extremes when it comes to mental health. On one side, we are told to embrace anxiety as a part of our being. The best we can do is medicate and live with it. On the other side, we're told that freedom can be found if we believe hard enough, and that we're at fault if we can't get over the thoughts that hold us back.

But what if there is another way? A way to acknowledge the struggles and learn how to manage the things that trigger us while believing in the promises and goodness of God?

This is the tension that Jamie Grace has lived in for most of her life. Known as a singer with a vibrant personality, Jamie has spent the last decade touring and speaking about her faith on stages and in front of the camera. But behind the scenes she was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, OCD, ADHD, and an anxiety disorder as a preteen. Since then she has faced inner battles that have included panic attacks and self-harm. In Finding Quiet, Jamie shares what she has learned about managing the negative effects of her diagnoses, harnessing the positive outcomes, and leaning into the journey God has led her on.

You can preorder "Finding Quiet" now.
