Love Is Letting Go of Fear, Third Edition

Love,Love,Loved this book!!! A life changing book! I definitely changed my attitude of letting go of Fear!! When I read this book I realized how much Fear I had all my life. After reading this very wise but simple to read book, I’m amazed how much I learned I was keeping Love in the future. I didn’t even love myself because Fear was keeping me lost and lonely! Don’t hesitate it’s a wonderful book.

This book really gets you thinking about how you perci3ve your outer environment and how that perception effects everything. Choose love and acceptance!

If you have similar characteristics to me, then this book will help you. In a nutshell I’m: an over-thinker, analytical, emotional, anxious, strive for fairness, care what others think of me because I want to/am always willing to change myself for the better. I read this book a few years back to help get through some struggles with in-laws who were also my employers. Yes, the book may seem silly, as one of the other reviews said. However, if you allow the entire book set in, you’ll find that it helps in unforeseen ways. Read on for a very personal experience/review regarding this book. Twenty years ago, my family moved across states when I had two years left of high school. Personal anxiety made it difficult for me to establish a new circle of friends, but went steady with a guy for 1.5 years before we graduated high school. College made for some very rocky circumstances. After stringing me along for a couple more years, and hiding from me that I had actually become a mistress to him and his now current wife, there came an abrupt halt to all communication. With an impending high school reunion around the corner, I had attempted to reach out to this particular ex because my personal experience has taught me that when I have a better understanding of circumstances and to know where I stand ahead of time, it allows me to cope with my anxiety and actually boosts my confidence. Come to find out that he has blocked me on social media and brief email correspondence he confirmed that he does not want me to ever reach out to him again. Normally in a situation like this, I would blame myself and itemize all of the mistakes I made that would compel him to erase me out of his life entirely. All of it left me feeling angry and hurt. This book really helps me gain perspective. I’ve been able to step back and realize that he isn't trying to hurt me, but rather that he needs to remove me from his life because he does not know how to handle his own past discretion. I will not let all of my personal fears of what “I think he thinks of me” scenarios overshadow the truth of my situation. I would not have come to this personal resolution without “Letting Go of Fear”. I look forward to pulling this book out and reading it again.

The author presents good evidence that we have choice in our responses to our environment. His presentation is void of Christian constructs. However, letting go of fear is a journey, not a destination. I would argue that certain fear is a natural, healthy emotion for preservation. Overall, the book has an amount of merit for many human interactions.

I was reading the reviews that gave this book one or two stars and I thought that they were rating it poorly because they felt mislead and did not find that their lives were transformed by reading it. I say books cannot transform our lives, that is up to us. Not everyone will like this book or find that it serves any purpose in their life and that is okay, they will find another message in another way and like each of us, will heed or ignore it, as is human nature. I found this book quite by accident about nine years ago, when I was in a bookstore killing time waiting for a friend. I was not looking for a "self-help" book, I was just looking. I had recently begun a new relationship and since fear of loving is something I am familiar with, I picked it up from the shelf. It was not what I expected. I had heard about and was intrigued by A Course in Miracles but given my short attention span, I was not confident I would get through all 365 lessons. I am the person who says "just bullet point it for me". So given that this book was 160 pages (with lots of pictures), I figured I could read it quickly and I was right. This book would bullet point A Course in Miracles to 12 easy lessons, yay! They are simple but following them does take constant practice. But let me tell you that there is nothing revelational in this book, it is not an intellectual study of love and fear, and it will not replace your fear with love. It is simply a small primer that has served to remind me of what I can focus on to be happier, peaceful and kinder. Well I read the book and there were a lot of things that made sense so I started to practice the lessons, which went well in most areas of my life, unfortunately the one area I never seemed able to apply these lessons is on the roads. I yell and swear and spew such awful language that lots of people would prefer that there children not ride in the car with me. People just would prefer that their child's vocabulary not include so many epithets and colorful adjectives. The best I have been able to do is catch my self after the rant and well, let's just say it is a work in progress. I have given away a half dozen copies over the last nine years; only when I thought that the message was timely for them but it is not for everyone. It is a book that I have found delivers a message that is different depending on what is going on in my life at the moment. And there are times when it helps and comforts me and and times that I just cannot believe that I ever found comfort in it. Why five stars, then? Because even when I have I thought the message trite or downright stupid, I've never felt neutral about it: and it usually means that I am just not ready to hear the message. My fears sometimes are holding me back and until I am ready to risk letting it go, I am just not ready. But somehow I know that it probably will serve it's purpose again at some point. I no longer keep a paper copy of this book, every one I have ever had has been given away so now it is on my Kindle and I can banish it from my sight when it is not delivering its message.
