Up at Night - A book Review



Sometimes we all struggle with fear, panic, worry, or anxiety in one way or another. Pete Wilson in his new book What Keeps You Up At Night tackles the topic of fear. Pete looks at what fear does to us, how it affects every area of who we are - our hearts and relationships with others. He offers practical advice to move us past fear and worry to a place of peace where FAITH and trust takes over and leads us past fear, anxiety and worry. Pete teaches us that we simply cannot allow ourselves to be overcome by our fear. He teaches how God created us for far more than to live a life crippled by fear, panic, anxiety and worry. Pete constantly pushes us back to prayer and study of God's word to push us past our fear by knowing the God who created us with a plan and a purpose. (Jeremiah 29:11) 

Pete's words are not new and his method is not new. But he presents his message in a way that will resonate and make you feel like you are hearing it for the first time. I have read all of Pete's books and cannot recommend this one enough. Pete's style of writing is captivating and doesn't make you feel like you are being shamed. He lifts you up and pushes you to Jesus - the author and perfecter of our faith. 

If Fear, anxiety or panic hold you back from living the life God intended ... grab this book and let Pete take you back to a place, with God's help, where you are at peace and living a life of faith and trust in the one who made you and loves you.
