Are you ready to strip fear’s power over you and become the confident woman you were meant to be? Have you found that tolerating your personal fear monsters only makes them growl louder?

Okay, sister – take my hand and let’s boldly step up and yank the masks off those shadow-lurking, anxiety-churning, worry-generating beasts.

With her own brand of off-beat wit and wisdom, inspirational humorist Debora Coty addresses heart needs of women worn down by everyday fears – financial, health, relationships, loss, pain, the unknown, the what ifs …

With fresh spiritual insight, Debora shares hope, true life stories, scriptural lifelines, and a few LOL’s along with simple, practical tips for sidestepping fear with faith. And a fistful of chocolate!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book I have read by Debora M. Coty, and all I can say is WOW!  I always enjoyed Christian humorists Barbara Johnson and Patsy Clairmont, and if you like them, you are certain to like this book.  If you have ever experienced fear (and let’s be honest–who hasn’t), this is a book that will talk to you straight about overcoming it by the grace and intervention of God.  The stories she shares are quite touching, and it was all I could do to hold back my tears many times.  To see the goodness of God and the faith of His people truly brought me to my spiritual needs.

This book is written as a “small group study,” and I wouldn’t mind studying this book with a group of ladies.  There is a lot of theology in this book, but you will find a lot of humor.  her quotes are either poignant or hilarious.  I just have to share my favorite quote:

“If at first, you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you!”

I would recommend this book to every woman in the church.  I learned so much, and I plan to go back to this book again and again.  I can hardly wait to read her next book!

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

Debora Coty is an occupational therapist, a piano teacher, and a freelance writer. She’s also involved in the children’s ministry at her church and is an avid tennis player. Debora began writing to fill the void when her last child left for college, and it has since become a passion. Debora has a real knack for getting across sound biblical concepts with a refreshing lightheartedness as attested in her monthly newspaper column entitled “Grace Notes: God’s Grace for Everyday Living.”
