Running Scared: Fear, Worry, and the God of Rest by Edward T. Welch
4.0
In Running Scared, Edward Welch offers a topical study on fear and worry. Using a conversational narrative, Welch offers practical advice for stress management, as well as an in-depth biblical analysis of what God has to say about fear and worry in both the Old and New Testaments. As much as this is a study on fear and worry, it is also a character analysis on the promises and faithfulness of God.
Whether by design or circumstance, the book is divided into 30 chapters, most of which end with a brief section titled "A Personal Response" offering more overtly guided ideas for personal reflection and life application. Most chapters are between 8-12 pages in length. Its structured in such a way that this can easily be split up into 30 daily readings.
The author communicates in a clear and concise manner, having a very easily accessible tone to his writing. This book is a great resource for both the individual, or for a small group study, and I've found it to be very encouraging for my own walk.
