A Holy Fear: Trading Lesser Fears for the Fear of the Lord

by Christina Fox

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

In our modern vernacular, 'fear of the Lord' sounds like anything but good. It doesn't sound life giving. It evokes thoughts of cowering in dismay in the shadow of something terrible. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, so it's gravely important for believers to understand what God does and does not mean by the phrase.

We all struggle with fear and need to embrace the truths captured on these pages. Christina's clear and relatable words invite us to look past our fears and toward the Lord's love for us.

During a trial or challenging moment, we rarely take the time to analyze the fear underneath our anger, frustration, or anxiety. But if we were to place these lesser fears next to a greater fear of the Lord who has promised His presence, then that would be a trajectory changer.
