description
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.
reviews
If you are a 9/11/01 survivor, literally and/or physically, here's just what the doctor ordered for your further survival. Let me tell you, the words of healing and renewal found here should not be missed. If you are sending out an S.O.S., whether to your fellow earthbound creatures, or have already looked up with eyes searching and hands reaching out for an answer to your questions, and to your feelings of lost security, look no further. Just like September 11, 2001 will always be etched in your mind and heart, after reading this book, you will forever be changed. Don't take my word for it! Let me suggest his other books as well. From one once fearful and anxiety-ridden person who has finally found the peace of which I have all along been seeking. I wish you all a peaceful future.
Lloyd John Ogilvie brings such a breadth of knowledge to applying the principles of the Bible to life's daily challenges. That's the reason this book is so powerful, because it instructs you in how to receive knowledge so that you can apply God's Truth where you are and as a result experience the abundant life Jesus came to give.
We're encouraged to »boldly face the future unafraid with the sure confidence that God will work all things for your ultimate good and His glory.« Dr. Oglivie admits he is a fellow struggler that, »no one has it all together.«
On speaking well of people who do you wrong, he writes about the power of blessing. He interpretes Romans 12:14, »Bless those who persecutre you; bless and do not curse,« as being connected with this power. He says bless comes from the Greek »eulogeo« meaning »speak well of,« eu=well, logos=word. He writes about pleasing God, and letting God take care of the results.
