I am reviewing a copy of Fear Less, Pray More through Barbour Publishing and Netgalley:
Let's be honest, we live in fearful times, and sometimes we let ourselves fotget that God is still in control, in this Devotional we are giving a Daily reminder of how we can rest assured that no matter what is happening in the world, God is more powerful.
This devotional reminds us that Freedom is not Free, and reminds us it takes courage to vote. We are reminded that it takes courage to deal with corrupt leaders, or a corrupt government.
I give Fear Less, Pray More five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!

I have enjoyed this devotional. its the traditional verse, thoughts and a prayer. It's a nice way to start the day if you only have a few minutes as the thoughts are quite short. Some days are better than others but that is normal in these devotionals and many are aimed at the American audience. If you are looking for a short daily devotional book this fits the bill.

"Fear Less, Pray More" is a devotional about "taking courage." Each of the 180 devotions took about a minute to read and looked at a different fear or situation. Because each fear was dealt with so briefly, the author couldn't go very deep. She mainly just admonished the reader--to trust God or find comfort in God's word or even to look at the situation as an opportunity to tell others about Jesus.
Each devotion started with a Bible verse that contained the word relating to that day's fear. The author told a story that happen to her or someone she knows, then wrapped up with why we shouldn't be afraid along with a short prayer. So, for example, we're told how she was afraid of her writing being criticized, but she benefited from it. So we shouldn't be afraid because we benefit from criticism.
The verse for the day (if read in context) often had little to do with the author's entry for that day, or it was a stretch to make it fit. Sometimes, though, she did take the verse in context and even looked at the events surrounding it rather than focusing on her own life.
From the title, I thought the devotions were going to be about how prayer can reduce our fears, but instead the overall theme was that we should take courage because God is with us. Frankly, though, after reading 180 different ways that life can be scary, I'm feeling more unsettled than comforted. I wish the focus had been more on our mighty, loving God and less on our fears.
I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

A wonderful devotional book with Wisdom and written with Grace. All the devotionals are titled with certain subjects, with a small passage and a prayer. I found myself picking up this book when I was dealing with certain issues/feelings for warmth and guidance. This is a wonderful book to have with your daily walk in Faith. It will also be a great gift for others. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced reading copy of this book in return for my honest opinion.

Fear Less, Pray more is a devotional book for women that contains 180 daily devotions. Each devotion includes a scripture verse, a brief lesson focused on different aspects of fear and worry, and a closing prayer related to the lesson. I struggle a lot with fear and worry and this devotional was very helpful to me. I recommend it to any woman struggling with these issues.

This is a good little devotional book. I read it along with a Bible study I was teaching on the subject of worry. I even recommended it to the class. One lady in the class liked it so much that she went on to purchase copies for the entire class. It covers just about every worry you might have with a scripture, an illustration, and a short prayer. I like that most of the illustrations are of a more personal nature and not just a homily.
