Running Scared
by Edward T. Welch
Each
quarter we are going to
highlight a book that we think is worthwhile for reading
and discussing. While we recognize that there is
no substitute for reading Scripture, we also know that
we can be challenged and edified by reading good books.
So, here is a good book for that purpose.
"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 'running scared.' In his new release,
Running Scared, Edwards T. Welch investigates the
roots of fear in the human soul and the ramifications of
living in the grips of anxiety, worry, and dread."

Adam is going

encouragement and/or accountability for readers. Readers
will also be able to post their own thought, questions,
or comments. Click
