Book Cover & Preview Text
Internationally acclaimed author and lecturer Marianne Williamson said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.” I challenge you to think about what you really fear? Are you truly afraid of failure or are you afraid of succeeding? It seems counterintuitive to want something and then have fear of actually achieving it. Do you want more out of life? Do you want to spend the rest of your life wondering what could have been? Analyze your current environment. Can you achieve the success you envision where you are? People, circumstances, and rejection can discourage you, but you must be willing to endure some trials to be successful. Take a minute to brainstorm all of the potential outcomes if you succeed and what is impacted if you fail to deliver. Write them down. One of two things will happen. Either the potential successes will outweigh the negatives or, as you have listed it, the potential failures outweigh the potential for success. Bishop T.D. Jakes, one of the most popular Christian preachers of our time of The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas ministered in a series on prosperity that success is intentional. “Nobody succeeds by accident. It is a process. If you have a plan and are working that plan, you know what levels of success you plan to achieve. There is no reason to be cautious. Are you planning to succeed or are you planning to fail? Either way, it’s your plan.”

About the Book
Life is easy when we’re coasting along without a cloud in sight. Often, though, a storm will come out of nowhere and drown us in rain. It is at these times, in the midst of our worst storms, when we find ourselves evaluating the path we’ve been treading. It’s at these times—the times of trouble—when we find ourselves looking at our lives and wondering if we’re heading in the right direction. Author Christy Demetrakis refers to these times as “junctures”—crisis situations or points in time when a critical decision must be made. One path may look attractive (or easy), but that path may not lead you where you ultimately want to go. One path may look difficult, but it is often through adversity that true purpose is unveiled. Faith to Conquer Fear: Inspiration to Achieve your Dreams offers a compilation of quotes, anecdotes, and religious references that will give you inspiration to tread the path laid out for you. Drawing on words of wisdom from people such as Oprah Winfrey, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Colin Powell, and Thomas Edison, Faith to Conquer Fear will meet you exactly where you are in your own crisis moment. Despite your current storm, you have the power to achieve your dreams in both your professional and personal life. No matter how small or lofty your goals may be, these words of encouragement will give you the motivation you need to move forward with confidence.
