Thanks, Valerie. This book is definitely a great one on fear. The author shares some of his own fears in ways you don’t often read by Christian male authors (no offense) so he’s very relatable to those of us who have our own fears.

Yes, that’s exactly what I believe, too, Traci. My fear points are also my non-trust points. This book is really helpful to pinpoint that even more.

I’m glad to hear you share this, Beverley! I’ve been suspecting that my own fear of heights anyway is indeed a fear of falling. So now it’s confirmed. 🙂 Because being on high places themselves don’t scare me; I can stand in the middle of a high peak and be fine; it’s only the edges where I could imagine myself falling that make me scared. Wish I could do something for you with those flying moths!

What a perfect example of what this author is saying! Once we find something greater than our fear (like protecting your toddler), it loses some of its power over us. I used to really fear throwing up (not that I like it now!), until I felt SO bad with a virus one time that I longed to throw up. I never thought that would happen. But throwing up was a better option than that horrible stomachache. Hopefully we can still avoid spiders and viruses, but at least we’re making progress in the right direction. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this, Lori.

Yes, acknowledging our fear is a healthy step. I’d rather deny it, but I can’t. ha. It’s probably good that I can’t. But I don’t want it to drive me either–stick it in the back seat and keep moving forward. 🙂

I’m glad these quotes resonate with you, too, Lois. The quote about hearing is really good to me as well. Reminds me of God loving us not because of who we are, but because of who he is. Praying you work out that fear that is bugging you!
