Publisher's Description
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 forWith 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.

“On a topic that is often confusing and intimidating—the fear of God—Katie speaks biblical truth. I Choose Brave combines riveting storytelling with theological depth. Every Christian struggling to understand what the Bible says about fear should read this book.”
“If you are walking through a hard place in your life, struggling with fear, or feeling overwhelmed by a mountain ahead of you, Katie’s book will serve as a welcome reminder to fear God and walk in faith. Her words challenged and convicted me to say yes to boldly believe God, and choose bravery in spite of my own fear.”
“In a world filled with empty promises and self-help mantras, Katie’s message rings both countercultural and scripturally sound: True courage begins with proper fear. It’s only when our hearts begin to grasp the immensity of our Lord God and the beauty of His matchless character that we dare step into the challenges of daily life. Pick up this book and discover your hope, your courage, and your brave in Christ alone.”
“Fear. It’s a feeling we all know too well, though we’d rather not. In Scripture we read ‘fear not’ right alongside ‘fear God.’ How can those two things coexist? That is the question Katie so beautifully answers, and in the answer, we find the key to living fearless and free.”
“Fear has a way of knocking us down and telling us who we are. But we don’t have to let fear win! I Choose Brave is an invitation to face our fears head on and find freedom in an unlikely place—the fear of God. If you are looking for an honest, biblically rich companion to walk alongside you in your journey toward a braver life, this book is for you!”
