I picked up Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled during a really rough season with my oldest daughter. She was struggling with anxiety, and I felt helpless. This book gave us both a way to talk about what was going on inside. Dr. Simpson writes like someone who has been there. He does not preach at you. He just sits with you and points to hope. My daughter still goes back to certain pages when she feels overwhelmed.

Christian Leadership shook me in a way I did not expect. I have been an elder for over fifteen years, and this book made me go back and reexamine things I had just accepted as normal. Dr. Simpson asks hard questions about what we have allowed into the church and why so many believers stay weak. It is not a comfortable read, but it is a necessary one for anyone serious about leading God’s people.

I have tried so many Bible studies over the years, but I always felt like I was missing something. Spiritual Growth & Development finally showed me what that something was. Dr. Simpson lays out the sequence in Paul’s letters that I never noticed before. Now our group reads in order, and everything connects better. People are actually growing and understanding instead of just collecting facts.

A friend gave me Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled two years ago when my son was going through a hard time. That book became a lifeline for our family. Since then, I have read all of Dr. Simpson’s books. Christian Leadership helped me understand why some churches feel so off track. And his latest book on spiritual growth gave me a clear path for my own Bible reading. Each one builds on the last, kind of like his teaching itself.

I picked this up for my fourteen-year-old, who has been struggling with anxiety at school. What surprised me is that I could not put it down either. Dr. Simpson writes like he actually remembers what it feels like to be young and scared. My son told me it was the first religious book that did not feel like homework. That alone says everything.

I am not a big reader, but a friend passed this along. The part about controlling your thoughts really hit me because I did not realize I could actually do that. I tried the little exercise in the book, and it worked. It sounds simple, but something clicked. The author shares his own divorce story, and that made me trust him more. He is not pretending to have it all together.

I’ve been in church my whole life and heard a lot of preaching, but this one caught me off guard. The chapter on what the Bible actually says about sickness versus what we’re taught opened my eyes. I found myself flipping back to scripture over and over to check things for myself. It’s the kind of book that makes you realize you’ve been missing something important for years.

What got me was the section on the early church and how we ended up where we are today. I never knew about the influences that shaped so much of what we just accept as normal. The writing is straightforward, no fluff, just years of study laid out simply. My husband and I read chapters together and ended up having conversations we’d never had before. It made us think.

I have read plenty of Christian books that lift you up for a moment but leave you right where you started. This one is different. For the first time, I understand why I kept getting stuck in my faith. Dr. Simpson does not just tell you to grow. He shows you the actual path the Bible lays out. Our whole small group is working through it together, and we finally feel like we are moving forward instead of circling the same ground.

What grabbed me about this book is how it connects the dots between Paul’s letters. I always read them as separate books, so things felt random and sometimes confusing. Dr. Simpson shows how they actually build on each other in a specific order. It makes so much sense now. I am the kind of person who needs to understand the structure of things, and this book gave me that framework. My daily Bible reading finally has direction.
