DESCRIPTION:
What happened to that girl? What happened to the girl who was not afraid to climb to the top of the waterfall and jump? Who backpacked across Europe? Who took on any feat of bravery without batting an eyelash? You wouldn't recognize her - she's become that woman paralyzed by fear, scared to death to trust God, and trying to manage her family's hectic life, financial crises (yes, plural), and family issues on her own steam. Asking always, "Does God truly love me?" Relatable, touching, and yet hopeful, On the Other Side of Fear is the beautiful story of how one young woman learned to live in God's will, without fear.
"Share Me! Share Me!" - This book said to me. :) Throughout my life, I've discovered that women are very good at "cultivating" fear and worry and anxiety in their lives. It's almost as if we were made to do it! But Hallie's book, "On the Other Side of Fear", debunks that theory and puts it in its place. Her very descriptive story-telling quality makes this book a fast read, but she weaves throughout her tales of self this understanding of what God has for us in place of fear: and it's LOVE and gratitude. She gives practical advice on combatting anxiety, putting fear in its place, and seeing God's plans with perspective. Her advice is so welcome an. Absolutely Incredible grace This book is just incredible. I had been looking forward to its release for awhile as I am someone who historically has struggled with fear and anxiety. However, this book happened to be released at the beginning of one of the most stressful and scary weeks of my life. Every sentence felt as though it was being spoken directly to me and my situation. I have now re-read it twice and have found so much peace relating to Hallie's story and experiences. In my personal life I am still facing the very scary circumstance, but I can honestly say that with Hallie's help and spiritual guidance, I am not afrai. "A soulful, honest book" according to E. DeArdo. OK, first disclosure: I've met, and adore, Hallie. :) I attended the second Edel conference and was fortunate enough to be interviewed by her and Jen F., and Hallie is the sweetest woman ever.That being said, this is a great book. Trusting in God is one of those things that sounds easy, but is, actually, quite hard, as Hallie writes so vividly about. Her struggle to trust in God even when there's no money in the checking account, when they need to find a place for their family of 9 to live, when she's terrified that her art isn't good enough.basically, everything (minus the family) that I know well.
