What does it mean to truly fear the Lord?
In Christian teaching, particularly within Catholicism, this concept is often misunderstood, often stirring up thoughts of rigid rules, doctrines, and the burden of obligations. But true ‘fear of the Lord’ is something far more inspirational—something deeper, that can lead to a more profound relationship with God. In ‘The Fear of The Lord’, discover an exploration that sheds new light on this foundational element of Christianity. Through scripture and rich biblical examples, this short, yet powerful book is a divine invitation to experience God's majesty, holiness, and unconditional love more fully. It presents ‘fear’ as a reverence that opens our hearts to God's love and wisdom.
Across 8 engaging chapters, that look at the subject from different angles, learn how this holy fear is vital for growing in faith and living a life that honours God.
Perfect for Christians aged from young adult and upwards, this book offers a fresh perspective that will inspire and transform your understanding of a life truly lived in God's presence.
THE FEAR OF THE LORD
Derek Williams is a lifelong Catholic who had a powerful encounter with God in 1990 that changed his life quite dramatically. Originally from Birmingham, he now lives in Norfolk with his family, just a mile from the Catholic Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. Drawing from his knowledge of, and passion for, Scripture, the Catechism and Church teaching, he is now putting his hand to the written word. He prays the books will challenge, inspire and speak straight from the Father’s heart.
Derek’s favourite place is his garden poustinia where he spends precious moments in silence and solitude in the presence of God. It was in the poustinia where the inspiration and physical work of writing this book and many others in progress have taken place.
