Summary
Panic snuck up on Brian Johnson while he was out with his son, and it clung to him on his desperate drive home. Feeling almost outside of himself, his family called 911. He was spiraling into darkness. Waiting for the ambulance to arrive, unsure of what was happening, he gathered his family around him and asked them to pray for him. Then he said these pivotal words, “This is when God becomes real.” In his first book, Brian shares how the panic and anxiety of his early life - panic he’d thought he’d beaten - came back to haunt him. After experiencing debilitating anxiety attacks from the age of seven into his early adult years, Brian learned how worship ushered in the presence of God and pushed the panic away.
Now in his mid-30s and believing himself free, Brian had a vision for worship in the church, built a successful music label with his wife, and wrote award-winning songs and albums. He was at the height of his success, and from all appearances, things were better than ever. But in the midst of that success, the ghost of his childhood anxiety returned, stronger than ever, and it pulled Brian into a downward spiral of chaos and darkness.
In the year that would follow, Brian came to experience the ultimate power of surrendering the panic and chaos to God. Whether or not you’ve struggled with panic and anxiety, you’ve found yourself in pain, asking God for relief. In When God Becomes Real, Brian shares his vulnerable story of overcoming panic and anxiety. Discover how you might find God, even in your darkest hour.

Great book!
Thanks for sharing the struggles and stress of your life . I am glad that you never gave up on you and on your life! Sometimes we take God out of the life equation but this book is an example of commitment to stick with God until He becomes real! Be blessed!

Life changer
This book is a game/life changer. It equips us with one of the most powerful weapons we have which is worship. The vulnerability and rawness shows us that not one person is alone and it will give you strength to keep fighting. Honestly speaking (typing) everyone can learn something from this book even if the fight is different, the weapons in victory are the same. You. Need. This. Book. In. Your. Life. buy the book, share the book, use the tools it will give you. Personally it taught me about surrender at a much deeper level. I celebrate with you the knowledge it will provide to help you in your testimony. 👏🏾👏🏾

A real blessing
I got a great deal out of this book. Brian’s candour and openness brings a lot of insight into many aspects of walking with God, in particular the journey through pain and suffering and about building a healthy relationship with God and with others in the body of Christ. Thank you to Brian for this faith building, walk strengthening book.

Openness and healing
l loved this book, the stories stayed in my mind. l have been soul searching and asking God to do a work of healing in my own soul. Not only that but l have been reflecting on how l have been dealing with conflict with family and other people. This changes things for me.

When God becomes real.
So often we want to experience God on a mountain top experience but this is not how the God of the universe works. He is awesome in power and might and we want Him as it were to wave a magic wand and take away the bad things, whatever they maybe. He does not work like that.
Brian, in this book, speaks with honesty, vulnerability and humility. He says it as it is, warts and all.
We all want God to become real so when I saw this title and the fact Brian was reading his own story, this came across powerfully and I could feel were he was at. Listening to this book will help many to seek and find that God is real but also when in deep despair there is a way out from all our fears, pain and hurts, that we may know peace in our heart and in our lives.
The book has given me a new hunger to want God to be real in my life. I believe He is with us but like Brian, we don’t give ourselves time to experience Him. I have also bought the book to share with others.
