How many times have you missed and opportunity because fear held you back? Have you buried your talent? Will you end up looking back at life and feeling regret because you played it safe? We all know that timidity can keep us from life's greatest adventures. Most agree that fear is a hindrance and confidence a desired virtue. But how do we overcome that insecurity that holds us back? Is there a magic formula? If there was a pill we could take, a class we could go to, a book we could read that would change everything...we no doubt would give it a try... In an effort to preserve peace of mind, we build bigger and bigger walls around our lives. We install safety nets and security devices. In our personality, we design defense mechanisms to protect ourselves. These are all motivated by fear, worry and doubt. But, it does not purchase peace of mind because the fear is inside of us. Either we identify the issue and deal with it, or build bigger walls. If you are afraid of crime, no security system in the world will give you peace. If you are afraid of germs, living in a sterile bubble still will not make that fear go away. The fear of getting hurt by others would continue to torment you even if you lived on a deserted island. From Faith and Courage by David J. Drum Faith and Courage is not a wacky "pump yourself up" approach to a very serious issue. This is a book that gives a real life perspective on the challenge of stepping out of your comfort zone. The information isn't "text-book psychology" that makes no sense in the real world...this is real life experience that you can relate to...and more importantly, apply to your life today. The purpose of this book is to teach you to recognize fear and overcome it through courage and faith; to step out regardless of your fears; to refuse to let timidity keep you from your God-given goals, calling, and fruitfulness. Are you serving your fears? Discover how to break out of the prison of fear...and step into Courage. Learn how Faith and Courage work together. Faith is a choice to believe in something regardless of what circumstance is telling you. It is the choice to stand on something even when your five senses are screaming at you to do otherwise. It is the choice to hope in something outside of yourself. Faith takes courage and courage relies on faith. From Faith and Courage by David J. Drum Life takes courage. Courage is the choice to proceed through your anxiety. Don't let timidity keep you from everything valuable that life has to offer. Do you want your life to count...mean something significant? Is your goal to make a positive impact on those around you? Jesus said that he is vine and we are the branches. A branch cannot bear fruit unless attached to the vine. In the same way, we can do nothing apart from him. "If we abide in him," Jesus said, "we will bear much fruit." To abide means dependence and obedience. We cannot do it our way and expect his fruit. We cannot do it on our own and expect the miracle of fruit. Jesus uses this law of nature to paint a very clear picture. From Faith and Courage by David J. Drum David J. Drum uses personal experience and biblical truth to teach about fruitfulness, being productive, fulfilling your purpose, and making a mark in your world. Goals, visions, dreams can be accomplished through faith and courage. This book encourages you along the path to being what God has called you to be. No matter where you are in life, God is looking for fruit. We are to bear fruit that brings glory to God the Father. We are to bear fruit that testifies to the world of God's grace and redemptive power. We are to labor for earth's true treasure, the souls of men. God's word to us is the same from Genesis to Revelation: "Be fruitful and multiply." From Faith and Courage by David J. Drum "Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is." H. Jackson Browne
