Afraid of All the Things

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

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

Humorous and healing

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

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.”

what a simple but powerful book

For a person who fights fear / anxieties a lot, and a person who fights a very serious TGA a heart disease. what a powerful reminder of a powerful GOSPEL To soothe my soul. every one MUST cop this mug ASAP. Thx Scarlett for you being obedient and writing this must needed topic that a lot of people struggling with but do admit Grace and peace Is 41:10 is my fight verse

Changed my life!

I’ve never read a book that has changed my prayer life so dramatically. Things I thought I’ve never pray for...and here I am. So thankful this book has directed my eyes to the King of Kings who cast out all fears.
