Fight Your Fears Trusting God’s Character and Promises When You Are Afraid

I am so grateful for Kristen Wetherell’s timely new book. With piercing clarity and concrete counsel, she takes us by the hand and leads us over slippery terrain to the Rock of ages. I will be recommending Fight Your Fears widely to others, and returning to it often myself.

With biblical insight, relatable context, and powerful challenges, Kristen Wetherell accomplishes her goal: not to make her readers less afraid, but more afraid of what’s right to fear. It’s difficult to walk away from this book without feeling conviction about our disordered fears and comfort available to those who fear God.

Kristen will show you how to fight fear: see more clearly who God is, hear more fully what he promises, and match what you see and hear to the things you fear the most. Forget the futility of trying to work up strength and courage you know you don’t have, and find biblical hope in this honest, realistic, and perceptive book.

Kristen has written a compassionate and helpful resource, pointing us to our source of help and courage. Calling us to lift our eyes from the ground to the sky, Kristen shows us a God that is infinitely more powerful than our deepest fears and whose care for us is tender, gentle, and kind.

Fear of God is perhaps one of the least understood—and most distorted—teachings in the Christian faith. Some are paralyzed by it, while others reject it altogether. In the midst of this confusion, Kristen Wetherell has written a clear and thoughtful guide. With the heart of a teacher, Kristen identifies the key to sorting out this difficult topic, and points us to a better way.
