The fear of man--that is, of other people--can prevent us from living our lives as God intends. How then can we combat this universal tendency that seems to control our lives? Dr. Wayne Mack and his son Joshua give us the answer in this book. In summary they teach us that the fear of God, rightly lived out in our lives, drives out the fear of man. We all know, however, that is not as simple as it sounds. The fear of man is very complex, having many facets. . . . So Dr. Mack and Joshua do not leave us with a single sentence prescription. They plumb the depths of the fear of man and, at the same time, open wide to our minds the true biblical meaning of the fear of God. . . . They have given us a comprehensive treatment on human fear--both of other people and of circumstances--and have shown us how a true biblical fear of God addresses both problems. To drive home the truth, they have included very searching, personal application questions at the end of each chapter.--Jerry Bridges, author of The Pursuit of Holiness, from foreword
