Amazon Headline: Fearlessly Fearful

For a long time I have allowed fear to cripple me, until April 2013. I had a vision of all the things I've known about fear and was told. Fear steals our confidence, fear is false evidence appearing real, and fear makes me ask questions which instill more fear. In this read Meyers shows us how to ask a different set of questions of ourselves like; what if I succeed instead of what if I fail.

I listened to this book 2x and will listen again and again why you ask, well Meyer tells us when it comes to fear, just do it in FEAR. When you think about it, faith is working behind the scenes. Imagine having to speak in front of an audience of thousands for the first time. Your palms are sweaty and knees are shaking, you mind is telling you to find a way to cancel the event, but Meyer say do it in FEAR. I absolutely enjoyed this listen.
If you are interested in what fear is, where it comes from and how to recognize it this is the book for you.

When I initially went to read this book, it did not resonate with me and I put it down. Fast forward four months and that all changed. I felt drawn to the book and every chapter seemed to speak to me in some way. The difference was timing - once I had stepped out into new territory in obedience to what I heard God speaking to me, new fears tried to arise and old fears tried to resurface. This book helped to put my experience into perspective. It's not that I didn't have victory over those fears When I initially went to read this book, it did not resonate with me and I put it down.

The difference was timing - once I had stepped out into new territory in obedience to what I heard God speaking to me, new fears tried to arise and old fears tried to resurface. This book helped to put my experience into perspective. It's not that I didn't have victory over those fears in the past. It was just that I had taken steps to walking in deeper levels of faith and authority and therefore, was going to experience new attacks. I would need to gain victory over them as I had previously. We never stop having to encounter and gain victory over fear. I'm sure I will come back to this book again in the future just as I have "Battlefield of the Mind" because there will be another level of spiritual maturity that God wants me to experience. It is a journey. ...more

Love the overall theme of this book. Stepping out and replacing fear with faith to just DO IT. Sometimes we overthink and the author makes it simple. Some passages feel repetitive in principle and wording, but the message rang true and has inspired me to move forward into what feels like frightening territory. A good motivational read.

Lots of great info backed up by The Bible. Fantastic motivational source gearing you up in the right direction to reach your goals and overcome your fears. Glad I read it, and know I'll do it again in the future as it includes great reminders for Christians. Totally recommend.

I didn't love this book - it seemed fairly contradictory from one chapter to the next. I also don't like when Bible verses are modernly interpreted using parentheses, either use the modern version of the verse or leave it the way it is.

This book delivered exactly what I was looking for. It pointed to many scriptures regarding fear and anxiety and gave practical, helpful advice on how to overcome these obstacles.

A great book for everyone. It's broad in scope, but flows very well and is written well so that the impactful, biblically-based revelations easy to digest. Joyce Meyer has a gift for that.

Living Courageously by Joyce Meyer is a very highly recommended book that encourages us on the path to live a victorious and courageous Christian life.

Living Courageously by Joyce Meyer is a very highly recommended book that encourages us on the path to live a victorious and courageous Christian life.

The complete title of Living Courageously: You Can Face Anything, Just Do It Afraid explains the basis for this sure-to-be-a-best-seller by Joyce Meyer. She points out that God has promised to go before us and bring us through life victoriously as we obey Him, so we should be living boldly instead of fearfully. Even though we are free, that doesn't mean that we will never experience or be confronted by fear. It does mean that we do not need to allow it to rule our lives, and if we have to do or face something we fear, we can do it afraid, knowing God goes before us.

Meyer correctly points out that the inherent nature of God is that He is good, He is good all the time, and He will work all things together for our good. We need to live out lives in a positive manner. It is time for us to seriously consider everything that God is doing to protect, provide and help us - our every breath is a gift from God.

The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 gives the reader an "understanding of what fear is, where it comes from, what your attitude toward it should be, and how you can overcome it."
Part 2 discusses some of the more prominent fears that people experience. Even though your specific fear may not be discussed, Meyer provides the key to the tools you need to defeat it. "The best attitude you can have toward fear is, 'I will not fear, and I will do what I need or want to do even if I have to do it afraid!'"

Meyer has a down to earth, conversational style of writing that is easy to follow and understand which makes her teaching very accessible to many people. She shares with candor and honesty several painful, emotional times where fear has ruled her life, but is clear to also credit God for helping her overcome her fear. Meyer is a wonderful teacher and backs up her every thought with scripture. This will be a great resource for a group Bible study.

Joyce Meyer in her new book, "Living Courageously" published by Faithwords gives us You Can Face Anything, Just Do It Afraid.

From the back cover: Now available in paperback, #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer explains how to draw confidence and courage from God and start living to the fullest.

You have fear. And if you don't face your fear, it can paralyze you and hold you back from enjoying life to the fullest. Joyce Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author, wants to show you that to break out of fear, you must face it head-on.

The good news is God wants to give you the strength you need to beat fear and live courageously. That's why He tells you repeatedly throughout the Bible to "fear not" because He is with you.

In LIVING COURAGEOUSLY, Joyce explains how you can overcome the debilitating power of fear by learning to confront and conquer any and every fear you have. Blending practical insights, her personal experiences, and inspiring Scripture, this book will teach you how to conquer any fear, reach your greatest potential, and start living life to the fullest.

Whether you fear being inadequate, being rejected, or losing control, you can learn how to triumph over any obstacle-even when you feel fearful. You can face anything and just "do it afraid!"

For some of us fear can be a real problem. Left undealt with it can hold you back from moving into areas that could enrich your life and the lives of others. All of us face fear. The good news there is a solution to fear! Joyce Meyer has divided her teaching into two parts. Part One deals with an understanding of what fear is, where it comes from, what your attitude toward it should be and how you can overcome it. In Part Two Ms. Meyer focuses on the more prominent fears that people experience. She provides the tools, not only to deal with these fears, but with any fear that we may encounter. This is a great book. You might want to hold it in a special place on your shelf as you might be referring to it again to refresh yourself with these truths. This is also a great book to give as gifts to family and friends. They will think of you every time they put it to use. I recommend it highly.

LOVE this book. It has really encouraged me to not fear so much. I actually will say things out loud to myself when I'm headed to do something that makes me nervous even. I'm strong and I can do this because God says I can. He's my helper my hand holder and He doesn't want me to be so scared. The devil is a liar and every time I say out loud , my God is with me doing whatever it is, I'm heaping coals on that liars head :) thanks to Joyce for showing me to do it afraid because God is right there!

Meyer's books are so encouraging and this is another good one. We all face fear and Meyer has done an excellent job on helping us overcome fear in the strength of the Lord. She helps us understand where fear comes from and how to stand up against it. She also looks at specific fears and gives encouraging teaching, including prayers and Scriptures to overcome them. She reminds us that reading this book will not mean we no longer have to face fear, but it will help us learn to live courageously. I Meyer's books are so encouraging and this is another good one.

I really enjoyed this book, it made me think about some of the things that I may be afraid of in my life, and how I should "just do it afraid."
