Yesterday afternoon I was off from work. So I went to the library and got a book out. I got "Hinds Feet on High Places" by Hannah Hurnard. WOW- What a great book! I curled up in the midships area on a comfortable chair and read the whole book.
I would recommend it to christians out there who struggle with anything, but especially fear. As the main characters name is Much-Afraid. The Shepherd leads her away from the Valley and up to the high places. It really gives good insight on how God views us, even when we are struggling. God really encouraged me with this book, He really loves people so much and wants the best for us.

Thanks so much for this info . . . I do know some people who are gripped with fears so I will pass on your comments to them.
I'm also involved with a new program at church called "Celebrate Recovery". We gather on Wednesday nights over in the Learning Center. It's similar to the 12 step program of AA - except ths is based on the Beattitudes that Christ gave us. And the beauty of it is that it isn't limited to just helping someone who deals with substance abuse - it digs into life's hurts, hang-ups and habits - so anyone and everyone can benefit from it. Since we all have a propensity to pick up bad habits it's my opinion that enrollment should be mandatory!
Anyway, since fear is embedded deep within many hurts and hang-ups I'll be sure to share the book with those who may be blessed by it.
The Lord truly is in the midst of this program . . . and apparently He'll even go as far as to send help to us from the far reaches of Africa!
Thanks so much for sharing!

I have the book 'Pilgrims Progress' (in modern English). It was probably the original allegory - and I also have the movie. I love loaning stuff out so let me know if you ever have a notion to see it.
