Job 30:15

Any experience of trauma can enable paralyzing fear to take root in our lives. Fear can keep us from the full life God intends for us if we allow it, but we are not at the mercy of our terror. In this five-day reading plan adapted from Why Am I Like This? by trauma therapist Kobe Campbell, scriptures are paired with helpful strategies for loosening the hold fear has over our minds and bodies.

The book of Job chronicles testing a righteous man's faith through suffering. Although Job's friends attempt to comfort him, it is only by God's revelation of His wisdom and might that Job finds true comfort. Even in deep suffering, God can do all things, and none of His purposes can be thwarted (Job 42:2).

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part One of this twelve-part one-year reading plan covers the first 2,500 years: From Perfect Creation to Slavery.
