From Fear to Faith Ronald Higdon

What was anticipated to be "the Christian Century" certainly did not live up to that lofty expectation. To the contrary, it has led us into a new century with more uncertainties, questions, doubts, and anxieties than we ever could have imagined. Whatever happened to "Don't worry, be happy"? Simply put: there are now many more reasons to worry than to be happy (however one defines happiness). Stress, anxiety, apprehension, worry, fear - whatever else you want to add to the list - appear to be major ingredients in a life gone global. Our concerns are no longer local, regional, or even national. The fluttering wings of a butterfly any place in the world can cause a powerful wind of destruction right in our own neighborhood.
