All of us are afraid at some time or another and fear is an emotion that we should not deny. Fear influences our lives in ways we are not completely aware of. On the other hand, fear should not run our lives. The Heart of Fear explores the role fear plays, how we learn to be afraid, the things we're typically afraid of and how to manage our fear. It is an encouraging, uplifting book that sheds light on the feeling we most need to understand. Any parent, leader, teacher or counselor will learn how to look at fear in a new way and use fear for a positive growth experience.
