Filled With Dread: Facing the Inevitable by Faith

by Jayne V. Clark

Did you ever get a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach in anticipation of something you don’t want to face? This sense of foreboding and apprehension is called dread. It could be about an upcoming life change, a conflict to resolve, a difficult task, or a looming diagnosis, but whatever the situation is, you wish, you could avoid it at all cost. Experienced counselor Clark explains that instead of being filled with alarm or trying to run away from hardship, we can face dread by faith. Jesus, who experienced the ultimate dread of the cross, shows us how to turn to our Father in heaven and trust his good purposes for us. We can walk securely in his peace because he is fighting for us and walks with us every step of the way.

I picked this book up today because I have a very specific thing I'm dreading, but I ended up being convicted and comforted in my dread that I realized I face more than I realized. If you dread something at work, talking to a family member or friend about something difficult, making a phone call, going through a medical procedure, or many other things...I recommend this book to you. It's short and straight to the point, while still being impactful, encouraging, and very biblical.
