Fear is no longer a quiet undercurrent in women's lives--it's a full-blown crisis. Nearly one in three women in the U.S. will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, with the numbers rising fastest among younger women. Culturally, we're told that if we're not scared, we're not paying attention. Spiritually, many of us have absorbed the opposite message, that if we feel any fear at all, we must be failing at faith. Both are crushing. But Scripture paints a different picture. God doesn't demand that we be fear-free to follow Him. He calls us to be strong and courageous
because He knows we're scared, not in spite of it.
In
You Can't Be Brave Until You're Scared, Jess Connolly invites women into an honest exploration of fear: how it affects our minds, bodies, and souls, and why the biblical fear of the Lord is not a threat but a rescue out of our terrified living. Whether you're scared of the light of God, the shadows of the world, the voices of others, or the weaknesses within yourself, this book will help you trace your fear to its source and transform it into a steady, lived-out reverence that makes real courage possible.
