Afraid to Live

Philip J. Gentlesk's book AFRAID TO LIVE takes you on a journey to face your worst fears and discover where they came from. Gentlesk uses the story of Adam and Eve and the fall of humanity to illustrate his point that sin is the source of all fear. He does this by drawing on biblical scripture and a thorough understanding of human nature.

Gentlesk explains that the only real remedy for fear is God's perfect love. He draws a comparison between the New Testament's revelation of a loving Father who sent His son, Jesus, to defeat sin and death, and the Old Testament's portrayal of a terrifying, holy God. The book demonstrates the perils of depending on our own strength rather than relying on God's grace through striking examples. In addition to being a theological treatise, AFRAID TO LIVE is a practical manual for leading a life "earmarked" for a purpose much bigger than ourselves, one free from the shackles of fear.

This book will push you to consider your faith and ask yourself a very important question: Do you believe in God's power or in man's wisdom? Learn to welcome the tranquility that results from a relationship with Christ and anticipate a place in heaven where there will be no more suffering, pain, or fear. If you're ready to stop existing and to start truly living, AFRAID TO LIVE is the powerful message you've been waiting for.
