"The Anchor Holds" is a Christian book designed to inspire people of all ages to become better individuals, both to themselves and to others, and most importantly, to grow in their walk with God. This book features twenty-five short stories that teach us to trust God during life's toughest moments, understand the impact of negative words, and remember that even if others don't see our beauty, we are 'fearfully and wonderfully made' in the eyes of God. (Psalms 139:14). The Anchor Holds In a seaside village, nestled between towering cliffs and the endless expanse of the ocean, lived a humble fisherman named Thomas. Known for his wisdom and deep faith, Thomas often spoke of how God was the anchor that held him steady in the most tumultuous times. One fateful day, a ferocious storm swept through the village, more violent than any the villagers had ever seen. Waves towered like mountains, and the wind howled with a fury that seemed to threaten the very foundations of the earth. Fishermen scrambled to secure their boats, and families huddled in their homes, praying for safety. Thomas, however, stood calm and resolute. As the storm raged, he gathered the villagers in the small chapel at the heart of the village. With a calm voice that belied the chaos outside, he began to speak. "My friends," Thomas said, "we are not alone in this storm. Just as an anchor holds a ship steady in the roughest seas, so too does God hold us firm in the midst of life's greatest trials." He recounted the story of Peter, who walked on water towards Jesus. When Peter began to sink, Jesus immediately reached out and saved him. "It is not the strength of the storm that matters," Thomas continued, "but the strength of our faith and the steadfastness of God's love." As the night wore on, the storm grew even fiercer, but the villagers found solace in Thomas's words. They sang hymns and prayed together; their hearts anchored in a shared faith. Miraculously, when dawn broke, the storm had passed, leaving behind a village mostly unscathed. The villagers emerged, weary but filled with a renewed sense of hope and unity. Thomas stood by the shore, watching the calm sea, his heart filled with gratitude. "Just as the storm has passed," he told the villagers, "so too will the storms of our lives. Remember, when the waves threaten to overwhelm you, the anchor holds. God is with us, now and always." From that day forward, whenever a storm approached, the villagers would gather in the chapel, their faith unwavering. And in their hearts, they always carried Thomas's words: "The Anchor Holds."

Micah Yarborough was pursuing a graduate degree in counseling psychology when he had a severe manic episode that disrupted his education and his life, and heralded seven years of chaos. Over time God used his training as a therapist, his experience as a researcher studying serious mental illnesses and recovery, and his marriage to a gifted psychologist to do what he thought was impossible: Help him get well and stay well. My Anchor Holds Within the Veil describes the strategies Micah has used to achieve and maintain wellness for more than seven years. This is a story of love and loss, of suffering and tragedy, and of hope. It is a story about faith and forgiveness, redemption, and radical transformation. Most of all, it is a testimony to God's grace, sovereignty, and providential care. Part memoir and part guidebook, My Anchor Holds Within the Veil tells how God used bipolar disorder as a blessing to sanctify a husband and wife, to strengthen their marriage, and to teach them to depend on God's grace and the power of the gospel. My Anchor Holds Within the Veil is written for Christians and non-Christians who live with significant mental health problems. It is also written for those who love people who live with significant mental health problems to help them better understand mental illness and how to support recovery, and to provide hope that God can use their prayers and consistent sacrificial love to bring healing and change in the person they love.

Problems can make you feel like God is far away, but they can also be the very things that bring you closer to him. Anchored In isn’t a book of Christian cliché’s or sweet stories to warm the heart but rather an authentic look at the hard parts of life. It challenges us to stop running from and clinging to the past, and to grasp tightly to the only unshakable Anchor that is able to sustain our souls through the storms of life. Micah shares personal stories, such as her father’s abandonment of her family, and couples them with biblical application to offer real-life glimpses of God at work. She offers inspiration to live a life full of God’s power rather than one that causes us to turn away and be paralyzed by problems. Living anchored in God’s presence is a beautiful gift that few truly experience simply because they do not understand the key to God’s power – surrender. Or if they know to surrender, they do not know how to let go of the problems that consume their lives. Through simple, tangible steps learn to surrender in every season of life. Hearing from God is not reserved for a chosen few, but rather promised to those who believe. If you are longing to experience God’s power in a deeper way, this is a journey for you.
