Running Scared: Fear, Worry, and the God of Rest
by Edward T. Welch
Edward T. Welch reveals God’s plan for encouraging those
in the grips of fear. One of the haunting dilemmas of the human
condition is that fear is “an inescapable feature of earthly life.”
Every person who has lived on this earth has encountered fear.
Tragically, for this reason our race for the good life finds us all too
often “running scared.”
In his new release, Running Scared, Edward T. Welch
investigates the roots of fear in the human soul and the ramifications
of living in the grips of anxiety, worry, and dread. Welch encourages
readers to discover for themselves that the Bible is full of beautiful
words of comfort for fearful people (and that every single person is
afraid of something). Within the framework of thirty topical
meditations, Welch offers sound biblical theology and moment-by-moment,
thoughtful encouragement for life-saving rescue in the midst of the
heart and mind battlefield of rampant panic-stricken responses.
This comprehensive primer on the topic of fear, worry, and the rest
of God will have readers retreating to scripture for invariable
constancy, stalwart care, and robust comfort, instead of as Welch terms
it, “hitting the default switch” by responding with characteristic human
independence, control, and self-protectiveness. Running Scared affirms that, through Scripture, God speaks directly to our fears:
- On money and possessions
- On people and their judgments
- On death, pain, and punishment
Welch’s lively text provides convincing evidences that humanity’s
struggle against active and dormant fears are countless. The good news
is that God provides both the remedy and the cure for this malady in the
person of Jesus Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, and through
powerful, life-altering promises in Scripture. Far more than merely
another psychology “self-help” guide, Running Scared serves as a biblical roadmap to a life of serenity and security.
