What Are You Afraid Of?: Facing Down Your Fears with Faith

For many people, worry, anxiety, and fear are constant companions: fear of death, fear of danger, fear of disease. And too often, these fears are crippling, keeping us from the life God has called us to live.But it doesn?t have to be that way, says Dr. David Jeremiah. As Christians, we have been given all we need in order to face down even the most frightening, unexpected, and overwhelming obstacles in life.In his new book, What Are You Afraid Of? Dr. Jeremiah explores the top ten fears that are holding so many of us back from the life God has called us to live and shares the supernatural secrets for facing down these fears with faith. From the Inside Flap What Are You Afraid Of?What is it that immobilizes you? What is stealing your joy and destroying your hope? What is robbing you of sleep night after night? What keeps you from living by faith and taking risks? What keeps you from giving your life wholly to a loving God who wants nothing but the best for you?Regardless of your answer to these questions, one thing is absolutely certain: God is the answer to all your fears.If God is good and loving (and He is), and if God is all-powerful (and He is), and if God has a purpose and a plan that includes His children (and He does), and if we are His children (as I hope you are), then there is no reason to fear anything, for God is in control of everything.As you read this book, my prayer is that you will grow in your conviction that God is the answer to all your fears, that as you look to the future you will see nothing except His power and love guarding your every step, and that you will find the truth that sets you free to live the fearless life God created you to enjoy.--Dr. David Jeremiah From the Back Cover You Can Conquer Fear!Everyone is afraid of something?failure, success, loneliness, crowds, death, life?the list is endless.
