There are two ways to liveby fear or by faith. My friend, Jennifer Kennedy Dean, can move you from being wrapped up in fear to being enveloped in Gods love, care, plan, and path. I have seen her overcome fears in her own life as she walked her path of faith. In Live a Praying Life Without Fear, Jennifer shares her wealth of wisdom with you so you too can victoriously overcome fear!

Not only is Jennifer Kennedy Dean one of the most excellent Bible teachers I have ever studied under, her words are absolutely clear and infinitely practical. Surrounded by a culture of fear, we often give in because of the people and situations we cannot control. Focusing on the deep questions that consume us, Live a Praying Life Without Fear systematically opens up the Word of God to reveal how our prayers can actively fight fear through trust, faith, soul transformation, and embracing Gods sovereignty. Interspersed with the rich insight, we learn from Jennifers own experience of when everything she feared actually happened... and she survived. I highly recommend this studybut only for worriers and silent sufferers. In other words, everyone!
Lucinda Secrest McDowell, author of Dwelling Places
and founder of the Encouraging Words blog site
If youve ever wondered about Gods sovereignty, read this book. If youve ever doubted Gods sovereignty, read this book. If youre going through a difficult time and it seems like Gods sovereignty isnt true, read this book. Your faith will grow and your trust in Gods supreme power and control will chase away any doubt or distrust. Jennifer Kennedy Dean skillfully uses biblical insights about Gods sovereignty to increase our faith and trust. She convinces us we have nothing to fear because God is in control and nothing can change the plan He knows is best.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
PREFACE
FEAR IS ONE OF SATANS MOST POTENT WEAPONS AGAINST BELIEVERS. The brainthe seat of our thoughts, emotions, memories, and beliefsis his theater of operation. I believe Scripture gives us the strategy for opposing and overcoming his assaults, robbing fear of its power.
