About this item

Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator, but He seems elusive? Perhaps it is because something utterly essential is missing—the fear of the Lord. Don’t let this frighten you. Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. It’s the key to everything.

Holy Fear is not a topic you’ll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore this book.

In The Awe of God, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful spiritual life. In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:

  • Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
  • Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
  • Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
  • Building an eternal legacy
  • Confidence, fearlessness, and security
  • Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed

If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear.

The Awe of God was designed to be listened to slowly and intentionally, given its devotional format. At the end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you. With this compelling and convicting message, you can experience a revival in your relationship with God, whether you’re new to following Him or have walked with Him for most of your life.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for anyone in leadership
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024
    The Awe of God by John Bevere is a deep exploration of a crucial yet often neglected aspect of the Christian faith. John’s sincerity shines through in his writing, as he shares personal experiences and biblical truths that resonate with readers. His heartfelt passion for the subject is clear, making it evident that this book is not merely a theoretical discussion but a call to action for believers.

    The message of the book is timely, especially in a world where reverence for God can easily be overshadowed by modern distractions. John stresses the need for the body of Christ to rekindle a genuine sense of awe for God, urging believers to recognize His holiness and power. This is an important concept that, if fully understood, has the potential to change lives and communities.

    Furthermore, John’s insights are particularly significant for leaders. I encourage you to take these words to heart and apply the principles outlined in the book within your life. By promoting a culture of reverence and awe for God, leaders can motivate their areas of influence to deepen their faith and commitment.

    Overall, The Awe of God is a captivating read that promotes both individual and collective reflection on the nature of God. It serves as a strong reminder of the deep respect and wonder that should define our relationship with the Almighty.

    Great book for men like me who don’t read a lot. The author packs a lot into short chapters, focusing on developing intimacy with our awesome God, and encourages the reader at the end of each chapter with practical steps for applying it to his/her life before jumping to the next chapter. Good to use as a devotional.

    I am aware of him and wife Lisa. I purchased the book because of the reviews. OMG! I LOVED EVERY SINGLE WORD! Thought provoking. Examine oneself. I sat quietly with each small, but POWERFUL chapter. I didn't rush. I moved as the Lord lead me to. It was so RICH!!! SO GOOD!!! SO DELICIOUS!!! Depending where you are in your walk with Lord, it can confirmation for what you are already doing, or ouch for growth, or making some adjustments or all. This book is beautifully written. Thank you John for allowing the Lord to speak through you. I am grateful.

    John spoke at our Church was a pleasure to listen to so I purchased the book and I am so glad I did. It takes about 5 minutes to read each day's chapter and each day has a 5 min video on a computer tab I keep open. No matter how much you read your Bible, you will get so much out of this book and the videos to help in your walk with God and our Savior.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Paired with the Study Guide, its good for a Life/Small Group
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2024
    This is good for a life group, small group, or Bible study. At first I wasn't really that into it, but paired with the Study Guide, it proved to be a solid choice. I definitely gained more perspective on the fear of God and how for me that translates to reverence. Our small group discussions during this study were great.

    Wow! What an honor to read these inspired words. I’m taking them to the Lord and have felt this is such a foundational truth the church has been neglecting and is in great need of. I’m in need of! Thank You Lord for this timely message through Your servant, John. I pray for myself and for the church to hunger for the foundation of Holy fear that leads to knowing God to the full and keeps us pure and ready! Hallelujah!

    This book challenged me so much and really helped me to have a good grasp on what it actually means to fear the Lord and have reverence for Him! It has empowered me and yet also humbled me. I feel like this book has truly strengthened my relationship with God as well! John Bevere knocked it out of the park!

    5.0 out of 5 stars God is Awesome indeed
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024
    I suppose the English language has no better word than fear. The central message I took away is that to know God intimately is to also appreciate that His greatness is beyond our full comprehension so that we treat Him with the respect He deserves. His grace comes first and overlooks our initial disrespect for Him. But He lets us closer the more we truly strive to give Him the due respect as we learn more about His Awesomeness. The response of the 3 disciples at Jesus's transfiguration, Paul's response on the road to Damascus, are the New Testament equivalents of an encounter with the majesty of God. God's majestic brilliance is only dangerous to those who'd disrespect it ???????? For those who love Him, it is an inviting warmth to protect us from the cold outside His embrace
