Unafraid
Susie DavisPaperback 2015-04-21
Hope for any woman who longs to live unafraid and experience the beauty of God's love in the midst of an often terrible and terrifying world.
In 1978, then eighth-grader Susie Davis watches as a thirteen-year-old neighbour entered her classroom and shot the teacher. As a witness to one of the earliest school shootings in the US, Susie brings a unique voice and personal context to the timeless issue of overcoming fear in a world where life is fragile. Her hard won insights on how women can learn to trust God in the face of tragedy are more needed than ever in a world rocked by senseless bombings and school shootings.

Publisher Description
:Though I don't know where your fears started or how deep they sit in your soul, I do know this: Fear is a heavy burden. One of the heaviest you can carry. It's exhausting and overwhelming. And it's not from God.
-Susie Davis, Unafraid
In 1978 Susie Davis watched as a thirteen-year-old classmate entered her classroom and killed her teacher. As a witness to one of the earliest school shootings in our nation, Susie faced years of paralyzing fear and an intense distrust of God. But God relentlessly pursued her and, over time, broke Susie's fear addiction.
In Unafraid, Susie offers her hard-won insights about how we can trust God in the midst of our fears about violence, disease, and personal tragedy. With you, she asks, "How do we live unafraid? How do we remain aware of world events without giving in to fear? How do we make everyday choices to stop letting 'What if?' control us?"
As Susie shows us, it is possible to break fear's grasp on our lives. We can be aware of the terrible without forgetting the beautiful. We can look up with joy and realize the remarkable truth: Jesus wants to take our fear and give us, in its place, true peace. Walk this liberating journey with her and learn what it means to live unafraid.
