What are you afraid of?
You could probably fill this page with a list of your fears.
Fears about the future; fears about your health, job, and family; fears about
inadequacy and failure (and maybe success); fears about how much fear itself seems to affect
your decisions, plans, and growth in this life.
You might even fear what God thinks about your fears. After all, in his
Word God commands us not to be afraid hundreds of times. But how is this
possible? We're troubled by evil, we're slammed with bad news, and we can't
know what tomorrow will bring. How can we learn to trust God and not be afraid?
Kristen Wetherell is in the fight with you. She is a fearful
fellow traveler on the road of the Christian life, making strides alongside you
in this battle. In Fight Your Fears she carefully searches 10 of God's great and precious
promises, equipping you with the practical tools to overcome the fears and anxious
thoughts that are robbing you of your joy. Each chapter ends with Scripture
exercises, a memory verse, questions to ponder, and a prayer.
Discover truths that will bring peace to your soul as you
learn to fear God and nothing else.
And now, my review:
I found Fighting Your Fears by Kristen Wetherell to
be an inspiring read. By turning to
fearing the One who we are to fear over all the other fears that bombard us, we
turn to the One who has the power to set us free. It’s a great, refreshing, true approach to
fear and other things. Keeping our eyes
on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
It felt comforting as I was reading to know I was hearing from someone
who has been in the struggle of fear with me and not someone who was better
than it. I’m thankful for the author’s
transparency.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my
honest review.
