The most repeated command in the Bible seems impossible until you realize that the secret to conquering fear is not imaging yourself as bigger and stronger than you actually are. The key is to behold Christ, the one your fears all dread.
FEAR NOT

The best books in the Universe are the ones that help us behold the glory, wonder, and ferocity of the Lord Jesus—and that’s exactly what Dayton Hartman has done in The One Our Fears Dread...Dayton reminds us that our hierarchy of fears must be reordered under the endless and unrivaled power of Christ. Everything we fear fears him! Enjoy these steel-toed boots of truth offered in this book. Put them on and walk by faith in Jesus—your conqueror, your champion, your friend.

Fear is such a dominant psychological and spiritual reality today that is often hard to know how to counsel, how to encourage, or where to turn in response to my own fears. In this book, Hartman has offered the simplest and the most profound solution: Jesus. We counsel people toward Jesus. We encourage people with Jesus. We turn to Jesus. Hartman lays out beautifully Jesus's dominance and authority over those things that cause our fears and shows the beauty and peace of fearing Jesus instead.

... Dayton lets Jesus be as big, as strange, and as fearsome as he actually is, the Jesus who calms seas and unsettles demons, who John fell at the feet of like a dead man, who alone has the right to say, "do not be afraid," and mean it. If you lie awake rehearsing everything that could go wrong, this book will not hand you easy comfort. It will hand you Christ. Turns out that's so much better.
