Description
That's the question that you need answered if you are living afraid. Finding courage begins with fear itself--fear of the Lord.
I Choose Brave reveals a countercultural plan to help you where you are--knee-deep in fears of parenting, the future, your marriage, and a world that feels unstable. When you're feeling fearful, the last thing you need is a social-media meme telling you to simply "power through" your fears.
In I Choose Brave, Katie Westenberg digs deep into Scripture and shows that finding the courage to overcome our fears must start with fear of the Lord. Hundreds of passages speak to this foundational truth, yet we have somehow relegated them to antiquity. In sharing her own compelling story of facing her worst fear, Katie serves up theological truth with relatable application. In this book, you will
· discover a fresh take on an old truth that displaces fear once and for all
· understand why the culture's idea of "fearlessness" is a farce
· access the holy courage you were made for
With this new knowledge comes tremendous freedom. Hidden in the cleft of the Rock, the One truly worthy of our fear, you will begin to understand the only path to real courage.

I feel like before I share my review, I need to put out there an important trigger warning that I wish I’d have known about going into this book. If you’ve experienced or are sensitive to the topic of pregnancy loss, you may want to skip this book altogether or at the least proceed with caution. The author shares of her own devastating pregnancy loss in a very raw and honest way, and as somebody who has experienced several pregnancy losses, it was difficult to read her experiences at times. This is truly nothing against the author or her writing, and it absolutely wasn’t out of place, it’s just a worth caution I find necessary to share.
I Choose Brave dives deep into the topic of “fear of the Lord”, something that isn’t often discussed in lighter Christian non-fiction, and I felt that the author did such an amazing job of discussing this in a tangible and most importantly, biblical way. Scripture is the root of the writing here, and I couldn’t have appreciated that more. This book is an invitation and challenge to courageously sit in the uncomfortable and the difficult, and then a gentle encouragement to step out to shift and adjust your lens accordingly. The author does not beat around the bush and speaks out honestly and truthfully from her own life and journey in her faith as she discovered what living in “fear of the Lord” meant for herself. Because of that, it reads very conversationally and feels as if you’re sitting down and chatting with a friend. I was left with a perspective shift after reading this one, and can say firsthand how relevant and important this book is. It’s definitely one I highly recommend!
Thank you so much NetGalley and Bethany House Publishers for the gifted e-copy.
