Top Highlights
“Holy fear is the key to God’s sure foundation, unlocking the treasuries of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Along with the love of God, it composes the very foundation of life! We will soon learn that we cannot truly love God until we fear Him, nor can we properly fear Him until we love Him.” (Page 3)
“In order to give God due reverence we must pursue the knowledge of the greatness of His glory” (Page 27)
“Many who had been bound by bitterness and had harbored offenses were set free. Where the Lord is reverenced, His presence manifests—and where His presence manifests, needs are met.” (Page 14)
“The more extensive our comprehension of God’s greatness … the greater our capacity for fear or reverence of Him.” (Page 25)
“If you desire the praise of man, you will fear man. If you fear man, you will serve him—for you will serve what you fear.” (Page 71)

There aren't many books that I recommend, since I usually substantially disagree with much that authors say, but Bevere's book stands out through its mostly accurate grasp of the subject. While I do have some points of digression, these are primarily on points I don't expect Bevere or anyone else to perceive at this point in the prophetic plan. For context, I am currently working on my own book on the fear of ':Elohhiym, and I have been frequently surprised at how often Bevere's comments and observations mirror my own. On this subject, he speaks with substantial accuracy and insight. I admit that some of what he has written here has even prompted some personal motivation and stoked my own personal embers in regard to fear of ':Elohhiym. I would prefer to give the book 4 1/2 stars, but I'm going to round up. This is probably the only five-star review I've given for anything available in Logos so far. On other subjects, I have vast differences of understanding, opinion, and practice with Bevere, but on this issue, I fully recommend this book.
