About this audiobook
Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator, but He seems elusive? Perhaps it is because something utterly essential is missing—the fear of the Lord. Don’t let this frighten you. Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. It’s the key to everything.
Holy Fear is not a topic you’ll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore this book.
In The Awe of God, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful spiritual life. In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:
- Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
- Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
- Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
- Building an eternal legacy
- Confidence, fearlessness, and security
- Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed
If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear.
The Awe of God was designed to be read slowly and intentionally, given its devotional format. At the end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you. With this compelling and convicting message, you can experience a revival in your relationship with God, whether you’re new to following Him or have walked with Him for most of your life.

This book has shared truths from the Bible that our modern day church has ignored for quite some time. That is not a complaint against pastors or the church, but rather that this book contains a timely message that can positively impact the church for years to come. John Bevere does a great job anchoring in the Word and expounded upon truths that are hidden in plain sight, but are often overlooked or simply not understood. You just don’t hear this content every Sunday. I would highly recommend this book.1 person found this helpful

What a riveting and engulfing experience this book has been. It is sobering and wonderous. It evokes fear and gratitude. Grace and mercy. Joy and anguish.... but in a good way. Thru this book God is giving us a peek into His heart and its good and also amazing that He even wants to be this close to us.1 person found this helpful

Now more than ever, believers need a Holy Fear of God. That will bring revival and right-standing of the individual! We will not have true blessing, until we understand the God we serve, and have complete trust and appreciation for His goodness ?? - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5
