I Choose Brave: Embracing Holy Courage and Understanding Godly Fear

by Katie Westenberg

Sara Hagerty (Foreword)

What if fear is the new brave?

That's the question that you need answered if you are living afraid. Finding courage begins with fear itself--fear of the Lord.

I Choose Brave reveals a countercultural plan to help you where you are--knee-deep in fears of parenting, the future, your marriage, and a world that feels unstable. When you're feeling fearful, the last thing you need is a social-media meme telling you to simply "power through" your fears.

In I Choose Brave, Katie Westenberg digs deep into Scripture and shows that finding the courage to overcome our fears must start with fear of the Lord. Hundreds of passages speak to this foundational truth, yet we have somehow relegated them to antiquity. In sharing her own compelling story of facing her worst fear, Katie serves up theological truth with relatable application. In this book, you will
* discover a fresh take on an old truth that displaces fear once and for all
* understand why the culture's idea of "fearlessness" is a farce
* access the holy courage you were made for

With this new knowledge comes tremendous freedom. Hidden in the cleft of the Rock, the One truly worthy of our fear, you will begin to understand the only path to real courage.

A heartfelt in depth look at the way the world views fear and they way Christians in relation to respecting should have fear. Katie shares her story of delivery her still born daughter Alison and how it was her brave respect of her father in heaven she was able to come out on the other side still whole. I never experienced that kind of loss but I have experienced loss of a loved one. Katie’s does an excellent job of sharing her real life experience and aligning it with how we should be living our life in relation to our relationship with god. This book will arrive on the book science in the right time when so many of us are clinging to the tighten your pony tail idea when we need to be clinging to god. Great book.
