Ever since September 11, 2001, an epidemic of fear has afflicted us. We worry about the safety of loved ones. We are anxious about our future that sometimes feels as secure as a house of cards. We dread the possibility of a generation of war against terror. We are afraid.

But in the gospels, Jesus Christ offered us an antidote for fear. "Do not be afraid," he said, as he prescribed faith as the medicine that would equip us to face our fears courageously.

In Facing the Future Without Fear, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, applies this gospel prescription to our darkest fears. "These inner fears reside in the realm of our most private selves, known only to us and to God." Each of us needs to receive healing in these hidden places, he explains. And with engaging stories and personal observations, Dr. Ogilvie provides "prescriptions" to help us dispel our fears and receive the profound and life-changing love of God.

To help us muster our courage in these unpredictable days, Lloyd Ogilvie, analyzes the global, inner and personal causes of fear. He illustrates his message with many well-crafted anecdotes and true stories.
