Lance Hahn - How to Live in Fear: Mastering the Art of Freaking Out

PRAISE FOR HOW TO LIVE IN FEAR

For years Ive tried to teach my church that fear is the dark room where negatives develop. If you are one of the millions who struggles with the debilitating symptoms of panic attacks or other anxiety disorders, let Lances intimate, personal journey shed light on steps to overcoming and beating this crippling disorder. With candor and humor he offers practical tools that will help you step out of the darkness of fear and into the light of a confident life.

In How to Live in Fear, my dear friend Lance Hahn, with unbridled authenticity and transparency, confronts the reality of anxiety disorder and fear with the grace and compassion of Christ. Pastor Lance elevates the eternal truth that we are not defined by our weaknesses. We stand defined by Gods strength.

Lance Hahn has given us a transparent masterpiece on human fear. Both compelling and clinical, How to Live in Fear is even bigger in content than the title suggests. Lances use of his own life story is risky, but its a risk Im glad he took. Not only did I learn, but so will the thousands of people Im about to recommend this book to.

I highly recommend this helpful book on living victoriously.

We all want fear to go awayfar, far away. But as long as we are living and breathing in this world, rest assured, fear will come knocking.... Through the pages of his book, Lance gives us tangible action steps for when we feel paralyzed by fear. He doesnt preach to us or offer us religious jargon. Instead, he boldly shares his own battle with the demon of fear. Lances transparency is an extreme act of courage rarely displayed by those who hold the position of pastor/church leader. I highly recommend this book.

There is a reason the most repeated commandment in all of Scripture is Do not fear. Every one of us faces fear in some area of our lives... and yet its something we rarely talk about. Lance Hahn, with authenticity that is so refreshing, has decided to talk about this issue. In How to Live in Fear, Lance invites the reader on a journey of walking with a loving Father and the insight and lessons he has learned along the way. There is great strength and courage to be found for others when someone opens up his life, and I am grateful Lance has done this.

We would all rather go through our greatest struggles in private. Yet many pastors are not given that luxury. Lance had a nearly debilitating battle with anxiety in front of thousands. Consequently, he publically modeled perseverance, humility, and faith. Now, through this amazingly vulnerable and insightful book, How To Live in Fear, multitudes will find freedom as well.

I had no idea this book would strike such a nerve, personally and among my friends. Honestly, I had a difficult time reading the book because everyone kept grabbing it off my desk. Through funny and embarrassing personal examples, Lance disarms and demystifies our hidden lives of fear and anxiety and delivers the steady, calming perspective of our Heavenly Father.
