By Don Yaeger, John C. Maxwell, Nik Wallenda | Publisher: Thomas Nelson
About the book
A practical guide to overcoming fear from the daredevil who has walked on a tightrope across Times Square and the Grand Canyon.
Nik Wallenda is a seventh-generation member of the Flying Wallendas, a circus family known for performing dangerous feats without safety nets. Nik is known for his daring televised tightrope walks over Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, Times Square, and an active volcano.
Nik has been walking the wire since he took his first steps, but he had never experienced fear until a tragic accident in 2017. The eight-person pyramid he and several members of his family were practicing collapsed, and five of its members fell thirty feet to the ground. While severely injured, they all survived miraculously, but the accident changed Nik’s life forever. For the first time he felt overwhelming fear, and Nik had to find it in himself to move on, release the past, and get back out on the wire.
Most of us will never walk a tightrope, but we face things that scare us every day. Whether putting ourselves out there socially or seeking a dream job, all of us allow anxieties and fears to hold us back. In Facing Fear, you will:
- Discover how to overcome lifelong areas of personal fear
- Understand the importance of dealing with trauma to fully heal and move forward
- Gain the determination to pick yourself up, grow in faith, and purposely walk toward success one step at a time
Facing Fear weaves parts of Nik’s personal story of the accident and how he conquered his fear with practical advice to help you overcome whatever fears are holding you back. This practical book will help you step out in faith and trust that God will hold you steady, even when you're afraid.
