Worthington - Fierce faith: a womans guide to fighting fear, wrestling worry, and overcoming anxiety

When we come up against fear and anxiety, I am so grateful we have the truth of Gods Word as our powerful weapon to combat it. In Fierce Faith, Alli not only reminds us that through Jesus Christ we are already victorious over our fear and anxiety, but she also provides practical steps that will equip us to take hold of that promise and activate it in our own lives.

I adore Alli, a fiery spirit and mother of five boys. Her authentic spirit bleeds through in Fierce Faith as she powerfully translates what it looks like to go to battle with fear, worry, and anxiety and come out victorious. A must read for those ready to take up arms and fight for freedom.

LISA BEVERE, New York Times Bestselling Author

So many aspects of our daily lives as women breed perfect opportunities for fear to creep in, anxiety to take hold, or worry to wrestle us to the ground. We dread the future, get all worked up from the pressures of the present, or grow gravely concerned that our past mistakes will haunt us forever. If this describes you, Alli Worthington is about to give you a wonderful gift. Fierce Faith is a helpful tool that will empower you to replace the lies of Satan with the truth of Gods Word, transforming you from worrier to warrior as you do.

Alli uses humor and storytelling to make us all feel as though were not alone in this battle against fear in our lives. Her step-by-step approach to fighting fear is one that you will find helpful no matter how big or small your worries are!

Fierce Faith is a timely word to an anxiety-ridden culture. We want to present that we have it all together, yet in truth our fears tear us apart. Alli gets it, and she gets you. In Fierce Faith, Alli writes with warmth, compassion, and honesty. But because Alli knows what fear can do, she is not messing around either. She roots us in truth and gives us practical wisdom and tools to live in freedom and courage. When its time to face the fears that have held you back, youll need to be fierce. I highly recommend that you take up Fierce Faith as one of your companions.

Youll read this line in Allis amazing book: I needed a battle plan, one that involved spiritual steps as well as physical ones. I knew Alli was an incredible leader and a super-wise gal, but after reading that line I pulled out my pens and highlighters and set my intentions on devouring this book as quickly as possible. Im so thankful for women like her, giving us the actual tools we need to do battle. This book is one of those incredibly helpful ones that will not disappoint.

Fierce Faith is a humorous, challenging, and yet hopeful guide to wrestling some of our deepest and most personal issues: fear, worry, and anxiety.
