Everyone at one time or another feels fear, guilt, worry and shame. But when these emotions get out of control they can enslave a person, literally taking over his or her life. In this 160-page book, the author suggests that the way out of this bondage is prayer, meditation, and faith in God and His promise of salvation. The author points to the parables in the Gospels as Jesus’ antidote to fears of various kinds, citing the parables of the prodigal son, the good Samaritan, and the widow and the judge. Exercises at the end of each chapter help make the book’s lessons all the more real and useful.
