The Courage to Be Afraid is remarkably different from other spiritual books. It is a tour de force that examines many aspects of the Christian life, yet always returning to a simple, powerful theme: we have to let God act. Fr. Molinié addresses himself to us, children of the modern world, in order to recall us forcefully to what never changes, no matter the state of things: the divine life is in us, and will transform us if we surrender to it. "God's love is a consuming fire..."

Some of the themes in the book include:

. Nature and grace

. Combat between pride and humility

. Development and stages of the spiritual life

. Suffering and the Mystery of God

"If, in the face of this world whose values are crumbling, you look feverishly and anxiously for what must be done, you have not understood that God wants to be the only One who saves us: His glory is at stake. When we rely on action or on natural qualities, we attack the glory of God.... This secret is the Trinitarian life, and to enter into it, we must live a life where we lose our footing... this is the whole savour of the mystical life."

-Fr. Marie-Dominique Molinié, O.P.
