Overview

Fear is a natural part of daily life. It’s so common that, often, we don’t even notice it. And yet, it dominates our decisions.

Because of the value we as a society put on fear, we idolize safety, appearances, materialism, and power, turning to those things in hopes that they will lessen our anxieties. But Jesus preached a different way. In Fearless Families: Building Brave Homes in an Uncertain World, author and pastor Kevin A. Thompson shows us that, when we are led by love, we will choose:

trust over safety
heart over appearances
connection over materialism
submission over power

Thompson demonstrates how, as we make choices based on these values, our fears will decrease and our love will increase.

Editorial Reviews

Fearless Families is an excellent resource not just for families but for leaders and people at all ages and stages of life. In the midst of the fear and uncertainty of today’s world, Kevin Thompson brings a powerful and practical word of courage and hope. I strongly encourage you to read this book and apply its principles!

Dr. Danny Wood

With so much going on in the world today, it is easy to feel hopeless and fearful; however, we must remember that fear is not a characteristic of our God. Kevin has outlined and given tangible ways to acknowledge and make a choice to choose the Father’s perfect love that casts out all fear!

Gus and Kristi Malzahn

Another excellent writing by Kevin Thompson. This is a must-read for all families no matter their uniqueness. The family has been at the tip of the spear in the present days of uncertainty, making this a timely source for a new path for our families. With much fear in the world today, this is an easy read with practical yet thoughtful paradigm shifts that will impact how you see and lead your family from the inner circle to the outside relationships.
