Synopsis

How cultivating a healthy fear of God liberates us from our fear of others, our fear of the future, and even our fear of death itself.At times the world feels like it's losing its mind. From politics to the pandemic, we live with an ever-increasing uncertainty, and many of us have grown to fear the rapid disintegration of our society and our own lives.Recovering Our Sanity is not another self-help book about how to beat your daily fears for a better life. It's a book that will show you the gravity and glory of a God who's worthy of our fear. It’s a book that will reveal how these two biblical phrases—Fear God and Do Not Be Afraid—are not contradictory but actually one coherent message.Michael Horton—Professor of Theology and Apologetics at Westminster Seminary—shows us that we cannot fight our fears by seeking the absence of fear altogether, but by living with a fear of God that drives out the fear of everything else. Horton will walk you through the case for the fear of God by:Developing what it means to fear God, biblically and theologically, and what this kind of fear looks like in practice.Categorizing different types of fears—from cultural anxiety to pain and hardship—and what they stem from.Focusing on how to confront our earthly fears with our hope in Christ, rooted in the gospel.Reminding us that God does not exist for us; we exist for God.Humbling, thought-provoking, and hope-igniting, Recovering Our Sanity delivers a timely message that will help you shift your focus from a human-centered obsession with self-preservation to a fixation on Christ and his salvation.Rather than clinging to false securities and promises of immediate gratification, you can gain the lasting joy of knowing the One who has given himself to save us and who says to us, "Do not be afraid."

Excellent book on how our misplaced fear in the things of this world and man instead of God wreck us. Oh what division, hurt and hatred has been displayed in the church because we will not unite around the Gospel and the fear of God which leads to wisdom.

A book that will forever impact me. So many issues that divide us are not easy to approach, but Michael approaches it beautifully with eyes always fixed on God and the true guiding Gospel principles for how we should live and love one.......more

Goodreads review by Michael

The intersection of politics and religion is and has been of great interest to me. The toxic nature of political discourse in our nation makes it easy to overlook the beauty that we have in the Gospel. Rather than retreating to our political trenches and letting those political camps inform how we r......more
