Today, the actual purpose of going to church has become lost. A large portion of people have stopped attending service because of boredom, or believing religion is irrelevant in their current life, and/or feeling that the church is not a part of their relationship with God. Likewise, there are even more people who attend only because they feel they are obligated to. The effect of entering the church's doors has long since vanished from the life of many. The New Testament church was unscripted. It was full of life and participation. The services were new and ground breaking, and the effect they had on people was life changing. Now though, the church services most people attend lack the strength and impact that the former once held. They are scripted, predictable and highly-polished, a far different thing than what once was considered such a life-changing experience. This book compares the early church described in the Acts of the Apostles with the church that we see in America today. It explains why the early church was so powerful and life-changing, and how that effect has been lost over the course of church history. Regaining a fulfilling, relevant, and life-changing church experience is possible. It may even be easier than you think

Overcoming fear is not about getting rid of everything scary in your life. Living life without fear is not about locking out emotions so that you don't feel fear. It isn't even about tricking your mind into believing there is nothing to be afraid of. So what is it about? Some of us deal with the fear of something to the point it becomes a phobia. Others of us accept our fear as a normal part of life, not realizing how much it is holding us back from a better life. The list of potential things to fear is long. We fear the unknown. We fear failure-whatever that looks like. We fear embarrassment. We fear loss of valuables, from family and health to possessions and security. And the list continues. The author makes a case that God did not intend for us to live in the grip of fear, but for us to live free from life-controlling fear. Can you even imagine what that would be like? The Bible is full of examples of people who overcame fear, or who were overcome by fear and what happened to them because of it. God gave us their stories so that we could learn-from history It is easier said than done, but overcoming fear may not be as difficult or next-to-impossible as it seems. The secret to overcoming fear is in the Bible and beautifully conveyed in this book.
