For many people worry, anxiety, and fear are constant companions: fear of death, fear of danger, fear of disease. And too often these fears are crippling, keeping us from the lives God has called us to live.

But it doesn't have to be that way, says Dr. David Jeremiah. As Christians we have been given all we need in order to face down even the most frightening, unexpected, and overwhelming obstacles in life.

In his new audiobook, What Are You Afraid Of?, Dr. Jeremiah explores the top 10 fears that are holding so many of us back from the lives God has called us to live and shares the supernatural secrets for facing down these fears with faith.

” this excellent book focuses on a number of key fears

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

Subtitled “Facing Down Your Fears with Faith,” this excellent book focuses on a number of key fears, confronting each with Biblical responses as well as poignant quotes from a wide range of individuals and authors (Lewis, Tozer, Edwards, etc.). 10 key areas of fear are covered:
1. Disaster - the fear of natural calamity
2. Disease - the fear of serious illness
3. Debt - the fear of financial collapse
4. Defeat - the fear of failure
5. Disconnection - the fear of being alone
6. Disapproval - the fear of rejection
7. Danger - the fear of sudden trouble
8. Depression - the fear of mental breakdown
9. Death - the fear of dying
10. Deity - the fear of God (the only fear that is Biblical!)

I particularly appreciated this quote from A. W. Tozer in Chapter 10: The self-assurance of modern Christians, the basic levity present in so many of our religious gatherings, the shocking disrespect shown for the Person of God, are evidence enough of deep blindness of heart. Many call themselves by the name of Christ, talk much about God, and pray to Him sometimes, but evidently do not know who He is. “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,” but this healing fear is today hardly found among Christian men. – A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy

Great book on fear

Best for Ages: 15 and up for reading level

It is hard to admit for any Christian that we get scared at times. After all, shouldn’t our faith be able to calm all our fears? Shouldn’t we be fearless all the time? Dr. David Jeremiah wrote this book for people like me who are embarrassed sometimes with how afraid we can be. I am so grateful he did.

One of the things I appreciated most about this book is that Jeremiah didn’t present this book as the cure for everything. He clearly states that we are human, and there will be times that we are afraid. However, we don’t have to allow that fear to cripple us. My parents and other wise people had told me this before, but it was an encouragement to hear it again.

Each of the chapters in this book was on a different, common fear. Among the topics covered are death, being alone, and natural disasters, just to name a few. Each chapter offered both biblical and practical advice on overcoming/dealing with your fears.
My one complaint about this book actually was to be found in the chapter on being alone. He spent a lot of time on bad-mouthing social media and seemed to say that any and all internet friendships were not real. I understand the point he was trying to make, but disagree with him on his conclusion. Yes, social media should not be where all our friends exist, but to say you cannot have a real friendship via social media is wrong. I have had some very godly friendships through Facebook and blogs that have caused me to grow as a person and in my faith.

Other than this one point, I think that the rest of the book was really good and sound. He uses many Bible verses, in their correct context, to prove his points. His insights into Job were really mind-blowing and good.

I highly recommend this book for those who are afraid, need encouragement, and need some sound, biblical advice.

Overcoming Fears with Faith in the Goodness and Power of God

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2014

I have to admit it--often when I read a nonfiction book I am hoping for fresh insights and fresh perspectives. I want to learn something new, or at least hear something in a new way that strikes me. As I began reading David Jeremiah's What Are You Afraid Of?: Facing Down Your Fears with Faith, this was my desire. While I found fresh material throughout--especially three of his chapters--the rest sounded like what I've heard before. Don't get me wrong. There was little I disagreed with. It's just that most of the book wasn't exceptional. It was standard fare--things I have heard numerous times from numerous speakers. This isn't all bad, for there is a place for reminders (cf. 2 Peter 1:12). I just prefer my reminders stated in fresh ways, I guess.

For a sampling of which fears Jeremiah addresses, go ahead and peruse the table of contents:

Disaster: The Fear of Natural Calamity
Disease: The Fear of Serious Illness
Debt: The Fear of Financial Collapse
Defeat: The Fear of Failure
Disconnection: The Fear of Being Alone
Disapproval: The Fear of Rejection
Danger: The Fear of Sudden Trouble
Depression: The Fear of Mental Breakdown
Death: The Fear of Dying
Deity: The Fear of God

As can be seen, Jeremiah addresses a wide range of fears. I think it's fairly safe to say that all of us have feared at least something on this list, so for that reason alone, this book would be worth looking at. Honestly, while much of the book is ordinary as I mentioned above, the one chapter worth reading is the very first. In fact, it alone is worth the price of the book in my opinion. It is a great summary of the fear of natural calamities stated in ways that are fresh and engaging. Here's an example:

"Those who define God solely by the evil He allows overlook the flip side of their complaint. Yes, there is evil in the world, but there is also an enormous amount of good. If God is not good, as they claim, how do they account for all the good we experience? Is it fair to judge Him for the evil and not credit Him with the good? [...] In a world that contains tragedies, we must realize that they're vastly outnumbered by blessings" (16).

Here's another familiar reminder that's worth hearing again:

"The one way to walk boldly and confidently into an unknown future is to stake everything on the power and goodness and faithfulness of God" (xiii-xiv).

Maybe I'm being too hard and unfair on Jeremiah in calling most of his book "familiar" and "standard fare." I just don't find his writing all that more engaging than most. Therefore, I give this book 4 stars because of solid content, yet not 5 because of its average delivery.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was very readable and helpful. It is plainly not a definitive textbook on fear but assume it was not meant to be.

This book tackles all the things we might fear in life. From small fears to fears we think we cannot master. Dr. Jeremiah deals with fear from the truths of the Bible that builds your faith and hope for the future. It's a must read if you want to make real life changes.
