Synopsis

To some degree, everyone experiences fear. It influences our choices, clouds our judgment, and leaves us spiritually vulnerable. In Triumphing over Sinful Fear, Puritan pastor and theologian John Flavel addresses this universal human struggle through the lens of biblical truth and Christ-centered counsel. He begins by examining different types of fear—including natural and godly fear—and how God governs each within the world. Then, with pastoral precision, he focuses on sinful fear, exposing its underlying causes and devastating spiritual effects. His longest and most practical chapter offers scripture-based rules and remedies for identifying, resisting, and defeating sinful fear through a proper reverence for God. This deeply encouraging and accessible book empowers believers to stop excusing emotional bondage and instead trust wholly in Christ’s commitment to calm and steady the trembling hearts of His people.
