(It's hard to avoid that when writing stories from my own life.) But this is also a book about trials big and small--about cancer, about suffering, about death--and especially about the temptation to fear. Sounds like a real downer, I know. But let me assure you that, while these frightful things are the reason for this book, none of them is the point of this book. The real point is God Himself and the comfort that His fearful and afflicted children can find only by trusting Him." ~ Hannah K. Grieser, from the Preface The Clouds Ye So Much Dread is a beautiful blend of memoir, theology, meditation, and storytelling. Each of these chapters--from dreading the birth of her first child, to living in unfamiliar and dangerous places, to facing the news that her son had been diagnosed with cancer--describes the stories through which Hannah K. Grieser has come to see that hard or uncertain circumstances, rather than being cause for doubt and dread, can instead become the unasked-for means that our loving Father uses to turn us toward Him and to show us His faithfulness. Told in Hannah's graceful yet punchy prose, the reflections in this powerful book will challenge readers to revisit their own hard times and see how God can take the storms that we most fear and turn them into downpours of blessings. Review: Great book on dealing with fear from a biblical perspective. - “The Clouds Ye So Much Dread: Hard Times and the Kindness of God” by Hannah K. Grieser Review “Evading death is not the point of living.” (30) Every Christian faces fear. Whether it is fear of sickness, fear of driving, fear of death, fear of suffering, fear of missing out, or something else, we all are faced with situations and circumstances that can lead to anxiety, fear, or full-blown panic. We know that as a Christians we ought to trust God, but sometimes we struggle to do this when life does not go the way it planned or unexpected suffering comes our way. Hannah K. Grieser’s book “The Clouds Ye So Much Dread: Hard Times and the Kindness of God” is an excellent book to help Christians deal with fear in a biblical and winsome manner. Grieser’s book is a mix of story and theology which helps a believer address fear in their lives. She went through some scary and challenging situations—including having a child get cance—and is able to testify to the goodness of God who carried her through it all. I was really enjoyed how she used stories but grounded the reader in biblical, gospel-centered truth. She offers lots of great wisdom and point us to trust in the sovereignty of a sovereign, good God and she exposes much of the ways that our fears reveal unbelief in our hearts. Also, I appreciated how she touched on a lot of the topics that cause fear and worry especially among middle class Americans (fear of our plans not working out, fear of driving, fear of what we eat). Grieser is spot on when she says this: “Our lives are in God’s hands, but it’s not always easy to live as though we believe it. We distrust the Author and try to wrest the pen from His fingers and into our own. It’s tragically laughable.” (78) I hope this book gets a broad expose and is read by many. It is FAR better than the sentimental, self-help sap that is sadly popular among so many today. posted on my blog: ttschmidt.com Review: Helped my fear - As a mom with a child on leukemia treatment, this book hit me hard. In a good way. It showed me how completely wrapped up in fear I had become. It helped me reset my mind while we complete the cancer journey and beyond. Nothing in life is under my control and the sooner I can learn that and lean on the One who is in control, the more at peace I’ll be. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,192,734 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #23,917 in Christian Spiritual Growth (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 102 Reviews | ## Images ![The Clouds Ye So Much Dread: Hard Times and the Kindness of God - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XAlKShlGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book on dealing with fear from a biblical perspective. *by T***T on March 6, 2019* “The Clouds Ye So Much Dread: Hard Times and the Kindness of God” by Hannah K.
