Afraid of All the Things

Tornadoes, Cancer, Adoption, and Other Stuff You Need the Gospel For

De: Scarlet Hiltibidal

Narrado por: Scarlet Hiltibidal

What does the gospel say about your fears? What does it say about the irrational ones, like sinkholes in the Target parking lot? How does it speak to the rational ones, like PET scan predictions? And does the gospel have a word for the fears you feel you'll have for life, like the possibility of losing the one you love most?

Growing up in the green room of SNL, being born to a fire-eater and adopted by a SWAT cop, having internal organs explode, and adopting a deaf girl from China, Scarlet Hiltibidal has been given some strange life experiences - and lived in fear through most of them. But life changed for Scarlet when she learned to hold the gospel up to her fears and realized that though she can't fix herself or protect herself, Jesus walked into this broken, sad, scary place to rescue, love, and cast out her - and your - fear.

Seeing life in light of the cross will help you avoid fear, overcome fear when you can’t avoid it, and live beyond fear when you don’t overcome it. You don't have to be afraid of all the things.

wonderful

so captivating! you can feel her emotion, I cried MULTIPLE times! I can totally empathize with her

Big Fan - 1000% Relatable

I loved this book. I laughed and cried. I want to get the hard-copy too so I can read it again with a highlighter - it is filled with verses and quotes I LOVED. I feel like Scarlet and I have so much in common from anxiety to striving for perfection and God’s love...and kind of being hot messes - and our husbands would be kindred spirits too with their passion for God (to where they sometimes cry when they pray) and patient kindness toward us as their wives and love for dragon stories. I heard Scarlet interviewed on a podcast (20,000 Reasons) and I knew I wanted to read her book ASAP. She tells funny stories from her life and relates them to the gospel and Scripture in a therapeutic way that feeds my soul. I recommend this book for moms, worn out Christians and any creative type people with hyper-active imaginations and big feelings. The most moving part of the book was the story of Joy that they adopted..:it just left me saying, “Wow.”

Humorous and healing

A great story of her life told in a relatable and humourous way. Great for people struggling with anxeity.

wonderful book

i really enjoyed this book... it was down to earth and so relatable. highly recommended

Real and authentic

I’ve listen to a lot of audiobooks but Scarlet brings a realness and authenticity in her words that are not easily forgotten. I also loved how everything pointed back to Scripture yet she didn’t spiritualize everything away. What a great book!
