Publisher's summary

The surprising good news of the fear of the Lord

“Let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.” (2 Corinthians 7:1)

We all have experienced fear at some point. And if we are honest, we don’t usually think of fear as a good thing. So why does the Bible call us to fear the Lord? In this audiobook, Michael Reeves explains that the fear of God is not a gloomy fear marked by anxiety but a heartfelt and happy enjoyment of God as Creator and Redeemer. As we learn more about the surprising good news of the fear of the Lord, we will discover the vital role we play in displaying to the world the awesomeness of our God.

The fear of the Lord

An entrance into the subject of Fearing the Lord, thought provoking and backed by scripture. Well written and I will listen again as well as purchase the more in depth version by the same author. I also will have my teen boys listen and know that this will springboard some great conversations with them.❤
Great points:
-Proverbs says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, not education or mere knowledge
-perfect love and perfect Fear of the Lord coexist
-the Fear of the Lord blesses us, the Lord is our blessed Lord... this means "happy" - when we fear the Lord, we are happy, content, satisfied
-the fear of the Lord is tasting Heaven on earth as all of Heaven trembles in fear before Him ❤❤❤❤Wow!

Appreciate this volume

I genuinely appreciate the fact that this author addressed this topic. Fear of The Lord seems to widely ignored. I am not sure I agree with the author’s analysis/conclusions, but I can still say I am impacted by this work and it will lead to continued mediation. Thanks.

Wow! Causes The Heart to Tremble!

Michael Reeves explains the idea of what is true godly fear. The concept of the fear of God has been greatly misunderstood and distorted. This book, which was so well written and narrated, caused my heart to love and worship my God and Savior anew!
Thank you, Michael Reeves, for allowing God to use your gifts for good of His Church and for His glory!

Great one!

Moving from doctrine in the head to how to apply the truth to our life. Really good. I highly recommend this book. It is for sure one of the best books I’ve read all year.
