A summary of this book:

Fear is a major issue in the world today. It can come in many forms and causes anxiety and can be debilitating. Fear is a strategy of the enemy and if not combated, will take our eyes off of God. Therefore, the ultimate answer to combating fear is to abide in God who is always sovereign and in control. Faith comes from trusting God and not putting our hope on circumstances. Do we trust that he is who he says he is in scripture and that he is a good father and shepherd who loves and cares for his children. When we trust in God, we find peace. His peace. Isaiah 26:3-4 says: You will keep in perfect peace, him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal..
