As mental health challenges reach concerning levels across the United States, a new book offers a faith-based perspective on finding purpose and overcoming persistent struggles. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 12.1 percent of U.S. adults regularly experience feelings of anxiety, and 4.8 percent report regular feelings of depression, with both rates showing significant increases over the past decade.
In response to this growing national concern, Dr. Walter Malone, Jr. presents 'Tailored to Win: Aligning Your Life with God's Plan,' which releases on November 18, 2025. The book addresses fundamental questions many Americans face about overcoming anxiety, depression, failure, and finding hope in difficult circumstances.
Dr. Malone, drawing from more than four decades of pastoral ministry and scriptural foundations, argues that genuine victory begins in the mind and takes root in a relationship with God. The book's approach differs from conventional self-help literature by focusing on spiritual synchronization with divine purpose rather than self-actualization criteria or positive thinking alone.
'Tailored to Win is not a book about success or having a positive outlook on life, and it doesn't offer criteria for self-actualization,' Dr. Malone explained. 'Instead, Tailored to Win offers a biblical foundation and practical application for how to live a completely fulfilled and empowered life because we understand that we are spiritually synchronized with the purpose and plan God has designed for each of us!'
Each chapter builds on practical principles including developing a disciplined mindset, embracing God's vision, maintaining authenticity, persevering through difficulty, and creating space for rest and renewal. Through real-life stories, scriptural teaching, and pastoral wisdom, the book aims to help readers transition from weariness to spiritual strength.
The publication arrives at a critical moment as mental health professionals and community leaders seek diverse approaches to support individuals facing emotional and psychological challenges. While clinical interventions remain essential for many, faith-based resources like 'Tailored to Win' provide alternative frameworks for those who integrate spirituality into their healing and growth processes.
The book will be available for purchase through Amazon.com, making it accessible to a wide audience seeking guidance during uncertain times. Published through The Church Online, LLC, Publishing Division, which specializes in producing resources that communicate biblical truth through contemporary media platforms, the book represents part of a broader effort to address spiritual and emotional needs in modern society.
This release contributes to ongoing conversations about holistic approaches to mental well-being that acknowledge the role of faith and spirituality for many individuals. As anxiety and depression rates continue to climb, resources that bridge psychological understanding with spiritual frameworks may offer additional pathways toward resilience and purpose for those navigating life's challenges.
