About the Author

Laurel Roberts was inspired to write by listening to the news and realizing how pervasive fear has become. When she could not find a book that discussed the various fears mentioned in the Bible in their theological, historical, and geographical contexts and set in the grand narrative from Creation to the Kingdom, she determined to write the book herself. Her strong Christian background and personal desire to comfort and encourage fellow believers inform each of the reflections contained in Why Should I Fear?.
Laurel Roberts lives in rural Alberta, Canada, with her husband and a revolving population of dogs and cats. She is an active participant in her local church, and when she is not spending time with her grandchildren, she enjoys studying her Bible, organizing curricula, drawing house plans, visiting with friends, and teaching.
