Afraid to Live

<p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Philip J. Gentlesk's book AFRAID TO LIVE takes you on a journey to face your worst fears and discover where they came from. Gentlesk uses the story of Adam and Eve and the fall of humanity to illustrate his point that sin is the source of all fear. He does this by drawing on biblical scripture and a thorough understanding of human nature.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Gentlesk explains that the only real remedy for fear is God's perfect love. He draws a comparison between the New Testament's revelation of a loving Father who sent His son Jesus to defeat sin and death and the Old Testament's portrayal of a terrifying holy God. The book demonstrates the perils of depending on our own strength rather than relying on God's grace through striking examples. In addition to being a theological treatise AFRAID TO LIVE is a practical manual for leading a life earmarked for a purpose much bigger than ourselves one free from the shackles of fear.</span></p>
