About this ebook
Joni Eareckson Tada sheds light on the bondage of fear in Breaking the Bonds of Fear. This pamphlet is about an unhealthy fear that a lot of Christians live their whole lives with. Joni explains that our aim is to decrease our sinful fear of others, and increase our reverent fear of the Lord. We can develop a fear of the Lord by trusting in Him and reading the Bible.
There might be times in your life where you’re not sure if God really cares about your circumstances or realizes the state you’re in, but taking a look at specific stories in the Bible will help you see God’s bigger picture. God wants you to trust in him, and when you read this pamphlet, you will clearly see how much God cares for you.
Joni also talks about the fear that was generated from her tragic diving accident, and the steps that were taken to grow confidence in the Lord after her tragic accident that left her quadriplegic. Even death is not something to fear, when our trust rests in the only one who conquered death! Let Jesus be the ballast of your ship, for it is only then that you will find peace and restoration from fear.

Breaking the Bonds of Fear - Joni Tada
WHERE DOES FEAR COME FROM?
I was your typical insecure teenager sitting in my high school social sciences class and listening to a lecture on how humans react to fear. The teacher summed up our instinctual response to fear in three words: Flight or fight.
I recall thinking, No wonder I’m so worn out! I’m constantly afraid of what other people think of me... I’m nervous that no one will ask me to the sophomore dance... I’m afraid I’ll fail my chemistry test... I’m afraid I won’t make the varsity basketball team. It seemed that half my life was spent avoiding certain people and situations (flight) or struggling to make the grade or meet someone’s expectations (fight). I was only in tenth grade, but already I was emotionally worn to the core.

They say that the number one menace to world health is not cancer, AIDS, plagues, or polio. It’s stress. Stress has its root in what we fear. When it comes to handling fear, it seems that humans can only take so much flight or fight
—it results in pressure, nervous tension, worry, and anxiety. But what is at the real root of fear itself?
WORRY IS LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR—IT KEEPS YOU MOVING BUT DOESN'T GET YOU ANYWHERE.
