Eric Law in Fear Not provides the reader tools that are clear and concrete enough to help in navigating the culture of fear that surrounds us." —Catherine Meeks, Executive Director of Absalom Jones Episcopal Center for Racial Healing “Once again, Eric Law has gifted the Church with a vibrant and relevant resource for creating authentic community from which to heal and change the world.  In a time when our culture is being held hostage by fear-based messages seeking to harden our hearts against each other, Law offers a liberating way through. This book will bless faith communities with hope, courage, and strategies for building the beloved community God calls us to in dark times." —Jacqui Lewis, Senior Minister at Middle Collegiate Church, New York City “I related to this book so much—to how trapped in fear we are, but also to how there is something better that we can create! The stories encouraged me, the scripture grounded me, and the content empowered me. I want more than risk management; I want life. I can't wait to gather some friends so we can read this, create grace-filled life together and Fear Not."—Sandhya Jha, author of Transforming Communities: How People Like You are Healing Our Neighborhoods
