Our church did a Bible Study with "The Awe of God" by John Bevere. (While doing this study, I also read John Bevere's first book in this series, "The Our church did a Bible Study with "The Awe of God" by John Bevere. (While doing this study, I also read John Bevere's first book in this series, "The Fear of the Lord" on audio.) This study is transformational for a relationship with the Heavenly Father.
I never realized there were so many scriptures about the Fear of the Lord, and they have promises attached to them.
