Fear and Faith: Small Group Study for Women by Trillia Newbell

Trillia Newbell's newest book, 

Fear and Faith.  

Spring 2013 my family traveled to Rockford, Illinois to fellowship with members of the Morning Star Church.  For my daughters and me, it was also an opportunity to attend the Grace and Truth Conference for Women hosted by Morning Star.  The conference always has speakers who are well grounded in the Word and share messages that encourage growth and encourages women to be ‘doers of the word and not hearers only’.  This last conference featured a returning speaker, Holly Stratton, and three speakers who were new to us, among them Trilla Newbell.  Trilla spoke at a previous Grace and Truth Conference but we had not attended.  I listened to her message on the audio files posted later but this was my first time hearing her in person.

Since that time, I’ve kept up with Trillia’s speaking, and writing of both blogs and books.  She has been on several panels where there were discussions about race issues and diversity in the church. Trillia is not afraid to tackle difficult topics, with gentility and strength she takes them on head-on.  She challenges women especially to step outside of our comfort zones and show hospitality and kindness to people of backgrounds and ethnic groups different than our own. 

In her new book, Fear and Faith, Trillia addresses the issue of fear; fear of what the future holds, fear of what people think etc.  She directs us to God’s Word where we will find truths to help us overcome the fears we face by getting to know God better and placing our trust in Him. 

About the Book

Failure, loneliness, loss, rejection, unfulfilled dreams…there’s no shortage of things to fear in life. Fear can feel like an unwelcomed, constant companion in life, paralyzing your actions, damaging your relationships and hindering your faith.

Trillia is no stranger or casual observer to fear. She has personally felt its powerful grip on her life, but she’s also experienced a peace, trust and faith from One strong enough to conquer those fears.

In Fear and Faith, Trillia will encourage you with reflections on Scripture and her own story. She will show you Jesus, who was tempted like you in every way, including fear. She will show you the character of God and how it inspires faith. And she will show you real women who have walked the road of fear—or are still walking it—and how they found security in the Lord to be their strength. Whatever it is that you fear, you are not alone, nor are you without hope from the One who can replace your fear with faith in Him.

Beginning in September 8, Trillia invites women to participate in a free online book study.  Here’s how it will work.

Trillia listed things you’ll need:

·         A copy of Fear and Faith book

·         The Discussion Questions

·         Your study group. The study can be done alone, but if you have a group grab them    and begin!

·         A day that works best for you.

Each Tuesday over the next eleven weeks, Trillia will post supplemental and additional material that you won’t find in the book.

If you are interested in taking part in this book study with a small group of women, you are invited to meet every second and fourth Wednesday at 6:30 beginning 9/23.  The location will be determined and posted very soon.  More about Trillia Newbell can be found on her website, http://www.trillianewbell.com.
