Love Versus Fear

Your mind is most powerful tool you can imagine; it can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. You are the only person responsible for what is happening to you, and if you see it any other way it is because of your mind and the way it is trained. Imagine that you are a carriage and your thoughts are horses, and if those horses are out of control, guess what will happen? Every horse (your thoughts) will keep pulling in their own direction without any regard to what will happen to the carriage, which is you. However, if you learn how to tame your horses/thoughts you will be in control of them. This is the truth, whether you believe it or not.

Can perfect love truly cast out all fear? These pages are filled with stories of imperfect people who came face to face with perfect love and overcame great fears. This can be your story too!

We live every day without being aware that fear controls many of our choices and decisions. The consequences our fear-based behavior has on our life and relationships also contributes to the collective fear and distrust in the world. When we recognize fear for what it really is, we can initiate an effort to deal with it. In The Truth About Love and Fear, author Rudolf Eckhardt shows how we can take individual responsibility for our issues by addressing our fears and insecurities. This will transform our lives and the lives of those around us. He provides answers to questions about consciousness, life, and relationships and discusses how life is about being and not about doing; you can be a powerful person, rather than just engaging in acts of power; true change is different from changing your feelings, perception, thoughts, and behaviors; it feels to experience unconditional love; fear and guilt have power; and love and fear influence your mind and control your behavior. The Truth About Love and Fear leads you to a new understanding of the nature of unconditional love, acceptance, and trust and explains the potential of your personal power and the lack of it in your life. It challenges your present way of thinking, makes you question your perception, ad changes your belief of who you are and the way you see your relationships and life. It alters your thoughts of your past, your present, and your future.

The author of the bestselling "How to Be an Adult" explains in his characteristic popular style how fear can cripple our ability to take risks in life and how it can be overcome by love. He looks at the deepest roots of fear and suggests practical ways to escape from fear.

Throughout our lives, we must face problems of family, human relations, finance, employment, health, aging, safety and security. Do you want to correctly handle the worries and fears resulted from our problems or the possibilities of these problems to occur? Is it your desire to help your family, relatives and friends to solve their worries and fears? Our authors (Cliff Wong and Andrew Kwong) believe that in order to handle our worries and fears properly, we need to apply the principles of the Bible to our lives practically. Are you happy to have a book which helps you to study the Bible and psychology simultaneously? If so, this book is for you. This is the first book of the "Abundant Life Series," which is also a "biblical counseling" or "biblical psychology" series. This book contains so much profound knowledge on the biblical applications for dealing with worries and fears but we make it simple to read and easy to understand. Cliff Wong, an ordinary person, had so many extraordinary experiences in his life. God has given Cliff wisdom to compose biblical illustrative examples in this book which also make people laugh.
