Synopsis

Fear Is Not Sin explores what the Bible says about fear, emphasizing God’s compassion and his many promises to be near his people when life dismays and threatens them.When life takes a turn for the worse, our natural response is fear and anxiety, even though God commands his people many times in scripture to not be afraid. However, as bestselling author and biblical counselor Edward T. Welch explains, those commands do not mean that our fears are inherently sinful. Instead, they are an invitation from God to go him with our troubles.Fear Is Not a Sin: It Is a Call to Action guides listeners to respond to fear by going to God and learning to pray his words back to him. Listeners will be encouraged that the fears they experience are an opportunity to grow from a “little-faith” to a “big-faith” that takes God at his word and trusts him in an uncertain world where things can and do go wrong.Listeners will learn that fear is an opportunity to grow in faith, courage, and confidence.Short, easy-to-listen-to, will help listeners interact with what the Bible says about fear and God’s help.Biblical, practical counsel and reflective exercises help listeners navigate their fears and anxieties with faith and trust in God.

This is a fantastic little book on how we should view and respond to fear. Many Christians believe that fear in and of itself is sinful, but according to the author this is not the case. Fear is a natural response to external things. He argues that what can be sinful is how we respond to fear. Do we......more

3.5 - This is a short little book and I feel like I need to noodle on the thesis a bit more.
