FEAR FIX SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY CHILD'S MOMENTS OF WORRY, PANIC AND FEAR<br />

RADCLIFFE, SARAH<br />

While serious anxiety affects one in five children and teens, virtually every child has anxious moments<br />

and frightened feelings. The Fear Fix approaches anxiety as a normal process of thinking and feeling that<br />

occurs naturally in people of all ages. Friendly and authoritative, the book helps parents understand the<br />

difference between “normal” and more serious anxiety so that parents know when professional help is<br />

required and when “home treatment” is appropriate. Sarah Chana Radcliffe offers parents a wide range of<br />

interventions, layered in such a way as to offer parents as many useful options as possible to help their<br />

kids through all the small and large anxious moments that they will inevitably encounter. For this reason,<br />

Radcliffe gives parents three levels of intervention: things they can say and/or do in the moment that can<br />

help their youngster negotiate feelings of fear; fear-calming activities and exercises they can teach their<br />

child to use independently; and mind-body strategies they can use with their child in order to uproot the<br />

child’s fear at its source.<br />

FIELDS OF GRACE<br />

LUCE, HANNAH<br />

On May 11, 2012, a small plane carrying five young adults en route to a Christian youth rally plummeted<br />

into a Kansas field. Only two survived the crash: twenty-seven-year-old ex-marine Austin Anderson, who<br />

would die the next morning from extensive burns, and his friend Hannah Luce, the twenty-two-year-old<br />

daughter of influential youth minister Ron Luce. Had it not been for Austin rising out of the rubble to help<br />

Hannah along in his last hours, and the assistance of a passing driver who just happened upon them, she<br />

may have died. Fields of Grace is a story not just of survival against the odds, but of spiritual revelation.<br />

On the surface, Hannah was the dutiful daughter of Evangelical royalty, with a degree from Oral Roberts<br />

University and a staff position in her father’s ministry. Yet she had begun to investigate and question her<br />

early religious convictions. Hannah recounts the transformative aftermath of the crash—Austin’s strength<br />

as he took care of her even as his own body failed, the miracle of the stranger who rescued them, and<br />

memories of her beloved friend Garrett. Profoundly moving and ultimately uplifting, Fields of Grace is a<br />

story of a girl staring death in the face only to find resilience and hope from her faith—a new kind of faith<br />

that would change her forever.<br />
