Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, you will discover ways to guard your heart and remove ungodly, destructive forms of fear such as anxiety, worry, stress, phobias and panic. When Jesus says, "Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" (John 14:27), He means that it is possible to live in peace. It's important to know that with the commands of God are the promises of God. Fear and anxiety, once firmly established, rob the individual of joy. Not all fear is bad. God created a fear response within us for our protection - for fight, flight, or freeze. But when fear becomes a part of our daily lives even when no imminent danger presents itself, we cease to enjoy the abundant living that our Lord promised. There is an old Greek proverb that says, "The bow that is always bent will soon break." What that proverb seems to be implying is that the person who is always under pressure, who never has an opportunity to release or let go, will soon break into a million pieces. If there is ever a proverb that fits our society this is it. Many people, like that bow, are strung out, full of tension, turmoil, fear, and frustration. If I had to choose one word to summarize how people feel today, I would choose the word worried. Perhaps you have certain concerns on your mind. You may be worried about the conflict with Iran, the economy or personal finances. Parents are worried about their children; children are worried about their parents. Some people worry all the time. If they are not worrying, they are worried that they have nothing to worry about.

Download or read book The Anxious Christian written by Rhett Smith and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is anxiety “un-Christian”? Many Christians believe the answer to this question is yes! Understandably, then, many Christians feel shame when they are anxious. They especially feel this shame when well-intentioned fellow believers dismiss or devalue anxiety with Christian platitudes and Bible verses. Rhett Smith, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, helps us understand anxiety in a new way. Rhett argues that, rather than being destructive or shameful, anxiety can be a catalyst for our spiritual growth. Using Biblical thinking and personal examples, Rhett explains how anxiety allows us to face our resistance and fears, understand where those fears come from, and then make intentional decisions about issues such as career, marriage, money, and our spiritual lives. Allow this book to challenge your view of anxiety, and allow God to use your anxiety for good.

Download or read book Hope in Times of Fear written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14) Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.
