Cheryl Broderson discusses the substantial differences between fear and faith in When a Woman Lets Go of Her Fears: The Amazing Power of Trusting God. As a pastor's wife from a well-known family of Christian leaders, she experienced controlling fear-the fear of not being accepted or of the judgment of church members, for example-and offers a powerful, overcoming testimony.

Using the biblical examples of King Saul, Elijah and David, she shows how God wants to help His children overcome the fear of man, trusting Him alone. Broderson argues that choosing faith rather than fear leads to a truly changed life.

Broderson encourages readers to follow the biblical words of "taking every thought captive" and to reflect on things that are true, pure and holy. Every chapter provides insight into how fear grows, as well as its expressions, including phobias, legalism and lack of perspective.

When a Woman Lets Go of Her Fears is an excellent Bible study resource, with questions at the end of each chapter. Women fighting fear and seeking faith will benefit from Broderson's insights.
