Countless Christians battle intimidation, which is camouflaged and subtle. Many feel the effects—depression, confusion, lack of faith—without knowing its root. Bevere guides readers below the surface to see the roots of intimidation. Readers will understand why it is hard to say no, why the fear confrontation and avoid conflict, and why they focus on pleasing others. Readers will learn to identify intimidation and know how to break its hold. Bevere explains how the fear of God keeps us from a life of ungodliness and produces confidence and boldness. Bevere advises, "Walk in your own God-given confidence and boldness. Bevere advises, "Walk in your own God-given authority, or someone else will take it from you and use it against you."

5.0 out of 5 stars Reality-based look at spiritual authority., April 11, 1998

This review is from: Breaking Intimidation: How to Overcome Fear and Release the Gifts of God in Your Life (Paperback)

When I heard about John I thought he would be just another rigid fundamentalist -- sin-conscious and unable to relate to the common Christian. Instead, what I heard was a message of *balance*. He rightfully points out that many of us love God but few of us *respect* Him. As a result we give place, by surrendering our own place, to the devil. The authority God intended for us is taken from us and used against us! This began with Adam who gave place (authority) to the devil and the devil has exercised that authority against man ever since.

John Bevere has a powerful anointing as a result of recognizing his own authority and resisting spiritual intimidation; it shows in this book.

I've been a spirit-filled believer for nearly 20 years and I can't remember being affected so strongly by the words of a minister. Since recognizing my own authority and the temptations to surrender it through various forms of intimidation, I have found a new power and focus. This book helped me do that.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ FOR THE ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST, May 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Breaking Intimidation: How to Overcome Fear and Release the Gifts of God in Your Life (Paperback)

If you know that you have a calling on your life yet affraid to walk in your God given authority/annointing, you MUST read this book. From beginning to end this book is awesome. You will feel shackles being broken even as you read. I tell you the truth, I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. When I finished reading it, I started reading it again. Breaking Intimidations has sooooooooo much information and real life experiences in it that you'll want to read it again - just in case you missed something. I have recommended it to others who say the same thing - IT'S A MUST READ to stop being intimidated. I bought this book for my Pastor also and He and his wife agree that it is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breaking Intimidation, June 22, 2000

This review is from: Breaking Intimidation: How to Overcome Fear and Release the Gifts of God in Your Life (Paperback)

I think this is an excellent book. I purchased it because I am having difficulty in my Christian life and saw this book and thought it would help, and it does. It shows how to break free from intimidation and to put ALL of your trust in the Lord, not in yourself or in others, but in Him. Very good book.
