Description
Fear Is Not a Sin explores what the Bible says about fear, emphasizing God’s compassion and his many promises to be near his people when life dismays and threatens them.
When life takes a turn for the worse, our natural response is fear and anxiety, even though God commands his people many times in Scripture to not be afraid. However, as bestselling author and biblical counselor Edward T. Welch explains, those commands do not mean that our fears are inherently sinful. Instead, they are an invitation from God to go to him with our troubles.
Fear Is Not a Sin: It Is a Call to Action guides readers to respond to fear by going to God and learning to pray his words back to him. Readers will be encouraged that the fears they experience are an opportunity to grow from a “little-faith” to a “big-faith” that takes God at his word and trusts him in an uncertain world where things can and do go wrong.
- Readers will learn that fear is an opportunity to grow in faith, courage, and confidence.
- Short, easy-to-read, journal format will help readers interact with what the Bible says about fear and God’s help.
- Biblical, practical counsel and reflective exercises help readers navigate their fears and anxieties with faith and trust in God.
Endorsements
“With clarity and winsomeness, Ed Welch helps us see that Scripture’s call, ‘Do not fear’ is not a rebuke but an invitation to draw near to Jesus Christ in growing trust and confidence. The question is not whether we will be afraid (we will!) but whether our fears and anxieties will be a catalyst for deeper faith in the God who will never leave us nor forsake us.”
Michael R. Emlet, Faculty and Counselor, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF); author of Saints, Sufferers, and Sinners: Loving Others as God Loves Us
“Ed Welch writes as someone who understands what it’s like to have his faith questioned because of fear. With wisdom and compassion, he removes the shame often tied to fear and shows how it can be a place where faith grows. I'm thankful to God for a book on fear that flows from a heart steeped in the Father’s care, is honest about weakness, and eager to help believers hope in Christ through every fearful storm.”
Timothy St. John, Counseling Pastor, Lighthouse Community Church; author of Uncovering Domestic Abuse
“Fear Is Not a Sin offers profound comfort and clear pastoral insight. Ed Welch gently peels back the shame around anxiety and invites us to bring our fears to Jesus. This book gave me language for my own fears—and deeper hope in the Savior who embraces us in weakness.”
Darby A. Strickland, Faculty and Counselor, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF); Author of Is it Abuse?
“This is a little book, but Ed Welch achieves big things with it. He counters our false thinking about fear as sin, exposes our false ambitions for fearless faith, and reminds us that authentic faith cries to God and finds in him a way to press on in spite of fear. So much helpful insight in so few pages—buy it, read it and share it.”
Steve Midgley, Executive Director, Biblical Counselling UK; author of Understanding Trauma

Temor, miedo, acción para aumentar la fe.
Excelente libro, que de una manera rápida y completa nos enseña sobre el miedo y cómo venir a Dios confiadamente para hablarle sobre lo que estamos sintiendo, y cómo Él nos consuela y fortalece dándonos valentía al aumentar nuestra fe. Contrariamente a lo que hacemos cuando el miedo se asoma a nuestras vidas, de quedarnos inmóviles, el autor nos enseña que el miedo es una oportunidad para la acción: crecer en fe.
