What if we stopped placing our confidence in the things of this world and instead put our trust in the only one who is truly trustworthy?

Let’s be honest, we (all) have a confidence problem—individually and culturally. We are all plagued by fears, insecurities, and self-doubt. The prevailing cultural wisdom says you must simply believe more strongly in yourself that all you really need more self-love, self-affirmation, and self-assurance to become confident women. But award-winning author and speaker Mary A. Kassian explains that discovering the fear of the Lord is the true key to overcoming your personal fears and insecurities. “In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence.” (Proverbs 14:26)

In The Right Kind of Confidence, a follow-up to her popular book The Right Kind of Strong, Mary again draws on her vast biblical knowledge to show you a better way to navigate life. She compares the Bible’s definition of confidence with the world’s well-worn self-help formulas and sets you on the right path.

Whether you’re seeking more confidence or already feeling full of it, when you lean into a source of confidence that is unchanging, firm, and trustworthy, you’ll become more like the bold, courageous woman God created you to be. The Right Kind of Confidence will equip you with the knowledge and tools to become a confident woman who can face even the most daunting circumstances with remarkable strength and courage.

If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain?
