About this audiobook

What does the gospel say about your fears? What does it say about the irrational ones, like sinkholes in the Target parking lot? How does it speak to the rational ones, like pet scan predictions? And does the gospel have a word for the fears you feel you'll have for life, like the possibility of losing the one you love most? Growing up in the green room of SNL, being born to a fire-eater and adopted by a SWAT cop, having internal organs explode, and adopting a deaf girl from China, Scarlet Hiltibidal has been given some strange life experiences-and lived in fear through most of them. But life changed for Scarlet when she learned to hold the gospel up to her fears and realized that though she can't fix herself or protect herself. Jesus walked into this broken, sad, scary place to rescue, love, and cast out her-and your-fear. Seeing life in light of the cross will help you avoid fear, overcome fear when you can't avoid it, and live beyond fear when you don't overcome it. You don't have to be afraid of all the things.

    If you struggle with anxiety, read/listen to this book! It doesn’t offer escape from fear, but gives you truth to be able to rest in Jesus when you are afraid. I’ve never felt more understood in my feelings of anxiety and fear than when I was listening to her talk about her fears and thoughts. Some were almost word for word things I have thought out felt. But greater than those fears, we have a hope in Jesus! Thank You, Lord! And thank you Scarlet for writing this book.
    The audiobook was great to listen to and felt more personal than just reading the book, since it’s narrated by the author herself.

    Cancer. Death. Tornadoes. Hurricanes. These are all things that Scarlet has feared in her life. This is a memoir and testimony.

    We all have things that we fear. It may not be a daily battle with anxiety or irrational fears at every turn. But I bet everyone has something that they are afraid of, whether that means losing a loved one or standing in front of a crowded room singing a solo. Scarlett confronts her lifelong fears head on and gives us the answer to conquering those fears. Every chapter is packed full of Scripture and truth. She brings it back to the gospel time and time again.

    Scarlett shares difficult seasons in her own life. Seasons of loss, fear, grief, sickness, and pain. She shares the story of her daughter they adopted from China, the emotions that surrounded that process, the hardship and joy has experienced along the way and the foundation she relied upon through It all.

    This book is worth a read for everyone whether you suffer from extreme anxiety or not.

    I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
