"In Unafraid, Karon reaches a new depth in her writing, evident of what may be a stronger conviction in her faith. It helped me find a stronger conviction in mine. She brings present-day relevance to a rather obscure but powerful book in the Old Testament, and demonstrates God's never wavering devotion to us when we do our parts and learn to trust His promises. Karon's wit and warmth remain, but now it all seems to sit on a stronger foundation of the trust she speaks of, and one in which we would all benefit by building on. She helps us learn how."
~~ Lynn Northrop, reader in Colorado
Karon says . . . "Who among us doesn’t need to hear God’s steady command, 'Do not fear,' breathed with great strength to our tired hearts? Which of us has forgotten God’s promise in hard times and needed to hear Him remind us, 'I am with you'? Can you or I always say we’ve practiced pure trust of our Lord in every circumstance, received His grace and reflected Him to those around us?
"These questions and answers come together in Unafraid: Living God’s Plan on a Ladder and a Promise. This new title, based on the Book of Haggai, takes an unfamiliar but victorious story from ancient history and shows my readers how God’s promises applied then as well as now and how He is as trustworthy and present as always.
"We all face frightening times in our lives, when those around us are against us and our faith and attention falters. God saw His people in need of His assurance and courage during the prophet Haggai's time, and He sees us when we need Him and His promises today.
"God’s timeless solution for Haggai’s contemporaries works for us. This book was written to bring that great two-word truth home to readers in a new and innovative way, using a story they may not know well to demonstrate God’s great faithfulness and control and renew their trust in Him, when they’re stalled in a fearful fit. This book reminds them of their power of choice to partner with God for so much more in their lives.
"Whether the reader is dealing with routine fear or a big, powerful life altering one, the promises of God never change, and this new book speaks directly to that woman to guide her with a renewed commitment to God and the 'temple building' projects of her own. God’s always been faithful to be with His children, and today, we have our own Immanuel Promise in Jesus, God with us now and forever.
"I know the fear well that can stall us in our lives, as well as the need to rediscover my own trust in God and His promises. Learning to live with a restful and peaceful surrender to Him is our goal, and I'm hoping Unafraid will lead my dear readers there with God's timeless truths from an old story that applies so well today. He's clever that way."
