The Two Fears: Tremble Before God Alone (Chris Poblete)
$8.50$9.99
Most Christians will agree that we ought to love our God. But what about fearing God? The Bible says that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10), yet a broad survey of modern evangelicalism reveals that the fear of God is hardly regarded as such anymore. Many Christians seem to wrongly assume that the gospel of grace trumps the fear of the Lord. However, it is only the God of the gospel that is truly worthy of our reverential fear.
The purpose of this book is to equip Christians with a healthy view of fearing God and to illustrate how it reconciles with the gospel of God’s grace to sinners.

Endorsements
“This timely book enters into a church context where ‘God-fearing’ is out of vogue. Combining biblical passages, theological categories, pastoral wisdom, and his personal story, Poblete has given us a needed reminder of how important it is to be God-fearers if we seek to know God and live for him.” —Jared Oliphint, Regional Coordinator, Westminster Theological Seminary; Contributor, Reformed Forum
“The writer of Hebrews teaches us that ‘It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God’ (Hebrews 10:31). The writer of Proverbs states that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge (Proverbs 1:7, 9:10) Author Chris Poblete not only stirs us up to this truth, but teaches us what it means to fear God, that we stand in awe of God by hearing and heeding his Word in Scripture, and that the fear of the Lord will set us free. A person who learns to fear the Lord need fear nothing else. For though God’s wrath is fearful, his mercy is awing as well. I hope you will hear Chris out and that his book will teach us to both tremble and rejoice in the majesty of our God.” —Brad Williams, pastor, New Covenant Baptist Church, contributor, Christ and Pop Culture
“We are too scared, and not scared enough. Here’s a book that will prompt you to seek the biblical tension between ‘fear not’ and ‘fear God.’” -– Russell D. Moore, Dean, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

$16.50“Like an elder brother, Michael Reeves guides us into a fresh understanding of the fear of the Lord.”
Fear is one of the strongest human emotions—and one that often baffles Christians. In the Bible the picture can seem equally confusing: Is fear a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it mean to “fear the Lord”?
In Rejoice and Tremble, Michael Reeves clears the clouds of confusion and shows that the fear of the Lord is not a negative thing at all, but an intensely delighted wondering at God, our Creator and Redeemer.

The Joy of Fearing God (Jerry Bridges)
$15.00For most of us, fear is something we try to avoid. And fearing God hardly sounds like an occasion for joy. But Jerry Bridges shows how the fear of the Lord is actually the key that opens the door to a life of true knowledge, wisdom, blessing, and joy.
We all want a deeper, more intimate relationship with God–one that’s characterized by joy. But how does fearing God lead to joy? After all, aren’t we supposed to love Him and live in intimate relationship with Him? Jerry Bridges explores this paradox as he unpacks the biblical promise that God delights in those who fear Him. Join him as he unveils the awesome greatness of God–His incredible holiness, deep wisdom, and especially His inspiring love. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of who God is that will draw you into a truly biblical, and surprisingly delightful, fear of God–a fear that includes your own genuine, heartfelt delight in God.
You’ll make the startling discovery that the fear of the Lord, far from being something to avoid, is the key to joyful, fulfilling, and genuine intimacy with God. It can change your relationship with God and change your life. After all, it is the beginning of wisdom.

Don’t Scare the Children! Homeschooling and the Fear of the Lord (Dennis Gundersen)
$5.50“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”, the Proverbs tell us. And since our children start at the beginning, and we parents are with them from that beginning, it’s all too clear — they must learn the fear of the Lord from us. But most Christian parents have little idea how to impart this perspective on life to their children.
We want to raise children who trust and love God, and certainly not children who withdraw from Him in terror! So what exactly is this fear of the Lord? Dennis Gundersen shows how parents can make this a reality in life and raise children who learn to fear God – so they won’t be afraid of anything else!
