<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Fishing for compliments, overcommitting, never committing, keeping people at a distance, being defensive, impatient, insecure, or envious... these are symptoms of the same disease. When we fear other people more than we fear God, we become anxious slaves to their opinions and approval. But we don't have to compete to be loved. We have great cause to live in peace, joy, and confidence--we just need to understand the depth of our people-pleasing problem and embrace its biblical solution. In this 31-day devotional, Pastor Zach Schlegel uses meditations on God's Word, reflection questions, and practical suggestions for action to guide you toward a freer way of life in service to God. Discover how to take the leap of obedience, fear God alone, and rest in his grace.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As a pastor and teacher, an author and the father of four children, I've had my share of fears. Will the children not grow to love the Lord and obey Him? Will the church members work together and be able to pay for the new building? Will my publishers promote my books and will people read them and benefit from them? Why are there critical people in the congregation when I love and faithfully serve all of them? Pastor Zach Schlegel has done us a great favor in writing this book about fear and how to deal with it. His insights are biblical and his counsel is practical. I wish I had read a book like this when I began my pastoral ministry while still a seminary student. It would have made me much more effective in my home and in the church."--Warren W. Wiersbe, Author, BE Series Bible Commentaries; Former Pastor, Moody Church, Chicago<br><br>"Zach Schlegel is one of my favorite people and pastors. I've known him for over a decade and have had the joy of serving with him for years. Meet him and what will strike you is his strength--his grip, physical thickness and how unbelievably deep his voice is! But once you get to know him, what will strike you is his weakness. Which you only know because in his humility he lets you know. If you fear others, Zach is a wonderful guide, and this book could be a GPS God uses to get you out of that person-fearing country. I've read every word and it all sounds like Zach--a man who seems to know the Bible as well as he knows his own heart. Profit your soul with this book."--Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C.; President, 9Marks<br><br>Fearing other people is a dreadful, paralyzing condition. It is a snare, a source of anguish, a root of unbelief, a killer of joy. In Fearing Others, Zach Schlegel helps us see the true anatomy of the condition and the only remedy: the grace of God in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through careful reflections upon Scripture you will be called to a holy fear that puts all other fears to death.--John Henderson, Council Member, Biblical Counseling Coalition; Executive Director, Center for Church Equipping<br><br>In bite size pieces Zach invites us to examine our identity as followers of Jesus and to find it not in the opinion or fear of others, but in the who loves us and gave His life for us. He pushes us to look at our motives and concerns and to ask why do we feel or believe these things about ourselves. We are either believing something about God that is not true or not believing something about God that we need to. I look forward to recommending this devotional to our folks.--Jackson Crum, Lead Pastor, Park Community Church, Chicago<br><br>The fear of men is the root of frustrations fruit in our lives. Zach helps us to remember that this isn't a malady that just needs to be erased, but displaced with the fear of God. He does more than just tell us that we need to do this, he takes us by the hand and shows us how. It's insightful, careful, enjoyable, and warm counsel from a seasoned pastor. Experience the freedom that comes from giving our hearts, hopes, and fears to the only One strong to carry them.--John Onwuchekwa, Lead Pastor, Cornerstone Church, Atlanta; Author, Prayer: How Praying Together Shapes the Church<br>
