I've read many of Meyer's books. I've always found them to be timely, insightful, and encouraging. Her latest is no exception.
One of the greatest weapons the Enemy throws our way is fear (and that's been quite obvious in 2020, as I read this book during the Covid-19 Pandemic). However, we don't have to allow him to use it to gain control over us. In her latest release, Meyer uses personal experiences (her own and those shared with her) to show how we can use God's Word combat anything the Enemy tries to send our way.
Meyer helps the reader grab onto courage and face their fears, reminding them they're not doing it alone, as God is with them. Numerous relevant Scripture verses are woven throughout to reinforce your message.
The cover and book jacket are stunning and one of my favorite things about this book!
The book is divided into three parts: Understanding Fear, Confronting Fear, and Mindsets for Walking in Freedom from Fear. chapters include: Do It Afraid, The Antidote for Fear, Take One Step at a Time, Learn to Be Secure and Confident, You Can Be Yourself, and You Can Believe Good Things Are Ahead.
Some of my favorite quotes include:
- "Fear is the devil's favorite tool in the toolbox of schemes he uses to steal, kill, and destroy God's good plan for us."
- "We receive grace through faith, not to fear."
- "Faith is our plug in to the power of God."
- "Do what you can do when you can do it, and don't worry about what you cannot do. Anything is better than nothing!"
- "When I feel fear, I will do it afraid."
- "Don't just pray for fear to go away. Instead pray for God to fill you with boldness, courage, and confidence."
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy from the publisher, but I wasn't required to leave a positive review.
