Summary

Here is a helpful spiritual formation book directly related to the missionary experience from William Carey Publishing. The author, a missionary in Indonesia, helps workers fight against fear with faith in God. The author’s own battle against fear–from childhood to motherhood, from Minnesota to Indonesia–is woven throughout the book. Each chapter also draws upon Christian wisdom from the ages and offers fresh meditations on biblical passages to develop a response to fear that is theologically informed and practical, especially for those in ministry.
