Book Synopsis

The Surprising Good News of the Fear of the Lord

"Let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God." --2 Corinthians 7:1

We all have experienced fear at some point. And if we are honest, we don't usually think of fear as a good thing. So why does the Bible call us to fear the Lord? In this book, Michael Reeves explains that the fear of God is not a gloomy fear marked by anxiety but a heartfelt and happy enjoyment of God as Creator and Redeemer. As we learn more about the surprising good news of the fear of the Lord, we will discover the vital role we play in displaying to the world the awesomeness of our God.
