Why I'd hand it to you

John Bevere, a longtime author and minister, explains the fear of the Lord as a healthy awe, love and reverence rather than terror, and argues it should shape our worship, holiness and daily choices. The chapters are short and built for daily reading, with reflection points along the way. It resonates especially with charismatic and worship communities. My caution: Bevere's style is earnest and sometimes intense, and readers from more liturgical or Reformed traditions may find his framing different from what they are used to. It is also more exhortation than careful study. Take it as a devotional challenge.

— Matt Jordan
