I struggle with fear sometimes. Who doesn't? This book covers most of the major causes of fear that I can think of including fear of death, fear of not mattering, fear of violence, fear of not protecting my kids, etc.
I found a lot of really good thoughts in this book. I have to admit that I again didn't make it through the questions at the back of the book. I would recommend that, if you read it, try to complete the Bible study/soul questions as you complete the chapters. Since I had forgotten about the questions, I got to the end and they felt disconnected in many ways.
Some of the thoughts that I read that really struck me, I highlighted. I just have to say that being able to highlight something in the Kindle is really helpful for people like me who HATE writing/highlighting in books. Just some of the amazing things I read:
Fear creates a form of spiritual amnesia. It dulls our miracle memory. It makes us forget what Jesus has done and how good God is.
Fear of insignificance creates the result it dreads, arrives at the destination it tries to avoid, facilitates the scenario it disdains.
And my personal favorite:
Everything will work out in the end. If it's not working out, it's not the end.
There's TONS more good stuff in this book. My highlight list goes on and on. There's even a list of worry stoppers that uses the letters in the word "peaceful." If fear has ever tried to get a hold of you in a way that it doesn't want to let go, I recommend this book. Even if you only struggle with occasional fear, I still recommend the book. It's a good resource and something I can see myself using again in the future. Great Book!
