This is by far the most comprehensive book I have read on dealing with fear. It is relevant to business and personal life, teachers and counsellors, Christians and non-Christians - to people from all walks of life. Shomade has a way of dealing with the subject that is far from condescending. Rather, he puts the reader at ease with an informal, easy-to-read style, and explores the main fears we can all relate to - fear of failure, fear of man, fear of change, fear of death, and so on. He presents the antidotes and practical steps to overcoming each fear, and brings illumination to the fear of God which dispels all other fears.
The author is both positive and practical in his approach. He describes how love drives out fear and how to walk freely in love. He looks not just at the fear of failure but also at how to walk in success and what spiritual success actually looks like. I found his exposition on the fear of man both helpful and profound: "Instead of needing people more, we need to love them more" - surely this turns the situation around and allows us to walk in the freedom of a healthy fear of God. I liked the fact that while this is a book about fear, the main focus is on God and the importance of remaining in a close personal relationship with Him.
This is not a trite rendition on the problem of fear. It does not shirk from the tough topics. The author examines how to stand in faith over the fear of death and how to counsel others through it, even those who are terminally ill. He writes freely about the fears which most of us are afraid to confess. The text is punctuated with the author's own personal experiences which he describes frankly and with humility. It is also packed with scripture and the model example of biblical characters who learned to live free from fear. I found the book to be rock solid in its theology. There is also a helpful comparison of Christianity with other world religions and how they relate to their own deities in the issue of fear. This book is an inspiring and practical tool to living on a higher level - free from fear as God intended.

This book 'The Fear Factor' is like a train charging through the darkness of this world, bringing the light of truth, hope and peace, including the opportunity of salvation; a truly gripping read!

I have read this book and will encourage everyone to dash out for their own personal copies (you know who you are....). The book is organised into chapters that take a logical approach and focus on the various aspects of fear i.e. failure, death, love etc.
Significant bible verses are in bold print, and the book can be used as a bible study guide. I would presume to say the capstone verse is 2 Timothy 1:7 (..For God has not given us a spirit of fear...).The book is quite relevant because it acts as a navigation guide, charting a course through the hazards of life and the workplace.
The author has practical experience of being a counsellor and an encourager, and this book has given me inspiration to stand fast and firm in my faith. I sincerely hope that this will only be the first in a series by the author.
