LIVING IN FEAR: GODLY FEAR IN AN ANXIOUS AGE

Many of you have asked about “further reading” on fear.  Here are some of the books I have worked with while preparing for this series.  If you’re going to read one book on the fear of the Lord then pick-up Mike Reeves’ new book from Crossway – it’s a treasure trove of insights.  John Flavel’s work from the 1600s is a timeless classic.  Chang is sensitive and practical in writing about Anxiety, and shares much from his own personal experience.  Bader-Saye’s book is very thoughtful, sometimes provocative, and always interesting.  Furedi writes as a social scientist – not a Christian – and provides a fascinating cultural account of fear.  Enjoy!
