HOLY FEAR, A

Description

CHRISTINA FOX

Fear-it’s something we all experience. Fears about the future, an illness, or what others might think about us can rule our hearts and steal our joy. Did you know, though, that the Bible commands Christians to fear?

Believers are to fear the Lord. But what does that mean? In A Holy Fear, Christina Fox unpacks what the ‘fear of the Lord’ means and what it looks like in our lives. By giving examples of such fear in the Bible, exploring the fruits of that fear in our lives, and uncovering God’s promises to those who fear Him, this book will help you disarm your lesser fears, applying what you learn to your heart and turning to a fear of the Lord.

‘Christina Fox invites readers to tread upon holy ground agape with wonder for the utter perfection of God’s nature. But the author doesn’t stop there; she leads God-fearers from the glorious summit to practical daily life. Be aware: A Holy Fear will shrink your lesser fears to give birth to profound adoration and worship of the magnificent One who made us for His possession. Shoes are optional for this transformative pilgrimage led by a fellow traveler.’ — Leslie Bennett, Director of Women’s Ministry Initiatives, Revive Our Hearts

‘This book couldn’t have come at a better time. Every day, we wake up to news reports and social media posts that fill our hearts with fear. Our neighbors are worried about finances, health, safety, and security. We are too. Thankfully, Christina Fox redirects our hearts in the pages of this book. Rather than fearing the daily worries of life in a fallen world, she tells us, we need to cultivate a holy fear of the eternal God who rules the universe. Only in rightly fearing God will we find rest from all our other fears. And, in fearing God, we will find abundant life. With rich theology, careful Bible exposition, and helpful study questions, A Holy Fear will lead you by the hand to the place of safety and security we all desire.’ — Megan Hill, author of A Place to Belong: Learning to Love the Local Church, editor for The Gospel Coalition, and pastor’s wife
