When Love Meets Fear: Becoming Defense-Less and Resource-Full (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780809155736)

Everyone is afraid. Sometimes fear is inappropriate and unnecessary. At other times, we have good reason to be afraid. But in every case, fear reduces our ability to be ourselves. It convinces us we shouldn't take chances or risks.

This book is for people who want to let go of unreasonable fear or act more creatively in the face of reasonable fear. It explores the roots of fear--the fear of change, of self-disclosure, of giving and receiving, of being alone. Beneath all of these is the greatest fear of all: the fear of loving and being loved.

This 25th anniversary edition speaks of the enduring message of the book and this new edition has been greatly updated and expanded to include more contemporary developments in psychology and current events. Every chapter of the book has been rewritten and revised with a new audience in mind. Some new sections have been added and existing sections revised.

This revised and updated edition reflects the author's growing understanding of the ageless concern in our lives--becoming free from fear so that we can be more resourceful in our life.
