Summary

Fear is one of the strongest human emotions—and one that often baffles believers, even mission workers. In the Bible the picture can seem confusing: Is fear a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it mean to “fear the Lord?” Michael Reeves clears the confusion and shows that the fear of the Lord is not a negative thing at all, but rather an intensely delighting in wonderment at God, our Creator and Redeemer.
