SynopsisIn "Freedom from Fear," Forrest Church distills a lifetime of wisdom gleaned from helping others into a plan of action for all of us who live in fear. Fear prevents us from living life to its fullest, and now, more than ever before, fear's grip seems to be tightening. In order to overcome fear, we must first recognize it and then foster the courage necessary to defeat it. Church identifies five basic types of fear associated, respectively with the body, intellect, conscience, emotions, and soul: 1. FRIGHT: instinctive fear, designed to protect us from physical danger. 2. WORRY: fear produced by our worst imaginings. 3. GUILT: fear caused by a troubled conscience 4. INSECURITY: fear prompted by feelings of inadequacy 5. DREAD: fear generated by life's fundamental uncertainty Most of us suffer from all of these fears at various points and to varying degrees. About physical fear there is no remedy, nor should there be. This fear is a survival mechanism. But the other fears, Church argues, are distortions that we allow to take over our lives. Courage is when fear speaks and the heart answers. After absorbing fear's best argument, the heart says no. As Church explains, nothing out of the ordinary is required. Anyone, and at almost any time, can find the courage to answer fear. The wisdom that makes courage possible is so universal and elemental that it can be summed up in three short imperatives: Do what you can, want what you have, and be who you are. Here the works of "fear experts" like Susan Jeffers and Lucinda Basset have much to teach us, as do literary classics like "Robinson Crusoe" and "The Little Prince," Including a study guide for group discussion,"Freedom from Fear" is a luminously uplifting yet completely practical guide that will change how we live., Based upon decades of counseling experience by one of our best-known spiritual leaders, a guide to the fears we face and the ways to overcome them Franklin Roosevelt said that what we most have to fear is fear itself. Forrest Church shows that we can overcome it. He begins by identifying the five kinds of fear we face in life: Fright; worry; guilt; insecurity; and dread. Each has its own logic, but their effect singly or collectively is paralysis. Conquering fear requires courage-to love, to act, and to be.
