Scared to Life by Douglas J. Rumford

This book handles all of the fear-related topics both biblically and masterfully. With genuine empathy for those who find these fears troublesome, the author shows us how God can do something marvelous in lives even in the face of such fears. Furthermore, he illustrates that as we place our trust in God and rely on His resources, we can break free of the gravitational pull of fear and its draining power.

From the Back Cover:
How much of what you do each day is motivated by fear?

* Are you driven by fear of losing your job? failing in school? of being an inadequate parent?

* Are you afraid to say no? afraid to be honest? afraid to confront? afraid to disagree?

* Are you afraid of suffering? afraid of dying? afraid of the growing violence in society?

In an age of anxiety, author Doug Rumford explains how we can nurture spiritual health by openly acknowledging the reality of our fears and then intentionally responding to them. As we place our trust in God and rely on His resources, we can break free of the gravitational pull of fear and its draining power. We no longer need to be scared to death…we can be Scared to Life!
