Description

Prepare your heart for fearless obedience to God's call
As our world and society are increasingly unstable and Christians encounter unprecedented challenges, fear finds a way into every heart and can shape our lives in unexpected ways. In Sacred Courage, Betsy Kirk helps Christians fight against fear with faith in God. The author's own battle against fear--from childhood to motherhood, from Minnesota to Indonesia--is woven throughout the book. Each chapter also draws upon Christian wisdom from the ages and offers fresh meditations on biblical passages to develop a response to fear that is theologically informed. Chapters conclude with discussion questions, challenging readers to examine their own hearts as they are given practical help to live a courageous and dread-free life.
This book will find a wide audience among those seeking relief from fear and anxiety. If you long for a faith that is bigger than your fears or need a reminder that you are not alone in the battle, Sacred Courage offers hope.

Critical Reviews

Betsy Kirk teaches us to understand our fears rightly and then applies the comfort of God to the feelings that keep us up at night. Keep this book by your nightstand and let it lead you to rest your anxious heart in the Lord.

I love this book! Here is faith-filled, Scripture-soaked counsel, delivered with gentle warmth and humor. It will be a great help to fellow-strugglers and all who seek to help them.
