Lisa Jacobson, author, cohost of Faithful Life podcast, founder of Club31Women.com
On a topic that is often confusing and intimidatingthe fear of GodKatie speaks biblical truth. I Choose Brave combines riveting storytelling with theological depth. Every Christian struggling to understand what the Bible says about fear should read this book.
Phylicia Masonheimer, author of Stop Calling Me Beautiful
If you are walking through a hard place in your life, struggling with fear, or feeling overwhelmed by a mountain ahead of you, Katies book will serve as a welcome reminder to fear God and walk in faith. Her words challenged and convicted me to say yes to boldly believe God, and choose bravery in spite of my own fear.
Crystal Paine, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and founder of MoneySavingMom.com
In a world filled with empty promises and self-help mantras, Katies message rings both countercultural and scripturally sound: True courage begins with proper fear. Its only when our hearts begin to grasp the immensity of our Lord God and the beauty of His matchless character that we dare step into the challenges of daily life. Pick up this book and discover your hope, your courage, and your brave in Christ alone.
Asheritah Ciuciu, author of Unwrapping the Names of Jesus and Bible and Breakfast: 31 Mornings with Jesus
Fear. Its a feeling we all know too well, though wed rather not. In Scripture we read fear not right alongside fear God. How can those two things coexist? That is the question Katie so beautifully answers, and in the answer, we find the key to living fearless and free.
Jeannie Cunnion, author of Mom Set Free
Fear has a way of knocking us down and telling us who we are. But we dont have to let fear win! I Choose Brave is an invitation to face our fears head on and find freedom in an unlikely placethe fear of God. If you are looking for an honest, biblically rich companion to walk alongside you in your journey toward a braver life, this book is for you!

FOR MY DAUGHTER
Alison.
Im not sure how a girl I held
Only once could arrest my heart for a
Lifetime, but I am changed because of you.
Your life brought me to my knees, to the end
Of me, in a way nothing else has. And in that
End, I came face to face with a Holy
God, true freedom in fearing Him.
I am wholly grateful to Him for you.
May these words pay tribute to your
Brief life and bring glory to the only
One worthy. Until I hold you again, Mom.

About the Author
Back Cover
Two years ago, on an uncharacteristically chilly June afternoon, I received results that showed a mass on my kidney. According to my doctor, a mass on the kidney is difficult to biopsy. Its best to wait and watch, she advised.
The prescription: Six months of waiting to see if this mass changed size or shape. If it did, it could indicate cancer. If it didnt, more wait and watch.
At the time, six people called me Mom. We were granting my teenage daughters new independence all while teaching my toddler to write his letters. My littlest daughter spoke a handful of words. Time couldnt stop in our home for things like potential diagnoses. Diapers needed changing. Teenage hormones needed tending and care. Dinner wasnt optional.
But my mind... my mind roiled with the what-ifs. I refused to search online, and yet the inklings of information I gathered (before restricting myself) haunted my thinking. I tucked my little girl into bed at night, wondering if I would see her wedding day.
That summer, we frequented the pool at the Y, made memories on the soft sand of Hilton Head Island, and Nate and I hiked the Rockiesall while fear crouched. Fear isnt a gentleman; it doesnt respect boundaries. There is no vacation from fear.
But I discoveredas a latent fear that had haunted many of my days before the now undeniable ultrasound (it now had a name and a face)that much more potent than the thousands of thoughts racing through my mind each day were Gods thoughts about himself.
He had answers for my fear in His Word. He had a new fear for me as I found Him there.
The last morning of our three-day stay in Estes Park, Nate and I hiked up to Bierstadt Lake. I sat at the waters edge, struck by the size of the mountains against my fear. My view gave me proper proportion.
