My review...
This is the first book I’ve read by Worthington, but if this
book is any indication, it won’t be my last! I’ve struggled with fear, worry, and anxiety for as long as
I can remember. Logically, I know I can take it all to God in prayer and then
let it go. However, the application is not always easy for me. And this is
exactly what Worthington tackles in Fierce
Faith.
Each chapter addresses a different fear, so there is likely
something relatable for everyone:
- Fear of Rejection
- Fear for Our Children
- Fear of Failure
- Fear of Betrayal
- Fear of Missing Out
- Fear of the Future
- Fear of Not Being Enough
- Fear that We Are on Our Own
Worthington uses lists all over the place, which made list
maker very happy! The lists are designed to help the reader create their own battle
plan for when they’re under attack and headed toward the “Bad Bs”: busy, blame,
bury, binge, and brood.
While this book is geared toward women, there are lessons
and wisdom in this book which are relevant to anyone. The tips are practical,
and the author encourages the reader all through the book with personal stories
and tips for when the enemy attacks. She strives to empower the reader to
replace the enemy’s lies with God’s truths. I have highlights and notes all
over the place, and I know I’ll go back and reference them on more than one
occasion.
Some of my favorite quotes (reminders) are:
- “Fear is a liar.”
- “Our thoughts give life or steal joy.”
- “Don’t let the fear of tomorrow steal your life today.”
- “If God, maker of all heaven and earth, has complete confidence in us, who are we to doubt ourselves?”
- “Your worries won’t change your what-ifs, but prayer will.”
- “God’s presence doesn’t mean you are fearless; it means you can fear less.”
- “Failure is the rich soil in which our faith grows.”
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary
copy of this book as part of the HC BookLook Bloggers program, but I wasn’t
required to leave a positive review.
