I jumped at the chance to get my latest book for review, How to Live in Fear by Lance Hahn. Why you ask? I know you really didn't ask why, but I shall tell you anyway. Fear has been something I have struggled with since I was a child. My early memories are often ones of fear and worrisome, anxious thinking. So, the title about how to live in fear got my attention right away.
How to Live in Fear was written by Lance Hahn, the senior pastor of Bridgeway Christian Church in Roseville, California. Lance also struggled with a severe anxiety disorder during his childhood, and he continues to battle the disorder today. Lance's goal in writing this book is to let those that suffer with fear and anxiety know they are not alone in this battle. He offers hope that with God people can overcome and deal with their fear and anxiety. He offers practical insights and concrete methods to fight fear and anxiety. Lance can offer hope because he has been in the fight and come out on the other side.
As I read this book, I felt like Lance had insight into my soul and the way I think. Many people do not understand how crippling fear can be, but Lance does because he lived it...he lives it. He shares many personal stories about his anxiety and how he works through it. As a Christian woman, I appreciate the many examples of how God helped him through his battle with fear.
To keep this review short, I will wrap up by saying this is one of the best books I have read about fear and anxiety. I highly recommend this book to those that deal with fear, and to those that know someone who is dealing with fear. It is a quick and easy read because you will not want to put it down.
I received this book from BookLook Bloggers, and in turn agreed to write this review. Thank you BookLook Bloggers!
