Tony Perkins, No Fear New York: Waterbrook, 2015, 187 pp. $8.92
God’s Word is clear: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go”” (Joshua 1:9, ESV). In the pages of the New Testament, we are told, “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). Yet, we find ourselves in troubling times. The church is drowning in compromise and the culture applauds when believers cave in.
Believers who are unwilling to acquiesce to the demands of the world will be met with fierce persecution and be marginalized emotionally and even physically.
These times demand believers who are both firm in character but also minister to lost people with biblical fidelity. No Fear by Tony Perkins is the perfect book for Christ-followers who need encouragement in a day filled with compromise. Perkins makes a solid contribution in this work as he presents real-life stories of Christ-followers who endured persecution because of their strong stand for truth and the claims of the gospel.
The true stories that Perkins presents are linked to biblical stories that help drive home the point of each chapter. The writing is clear and compelling and is geared to a younger audience. Surely, these short and readable chapters will provide a wealth of inspiration to Christians who need a boost of encouragement as they brave the storms of adversity.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
