The fear of God is an important theme in the Bible, yet many Christians today overlook it or treat it carelessly. Fearing God is the soul of godliness, and those who claim to love God should desire to understand what it means to fear Him. The Forgotten Fear revisits this important topic. Author Albert Martin first establishes the theme of the fear of God in both the Old and New Testaments, and then defines what fearing God means. Finally, he addresses the practical implications of fearing God, showing its expression in the lives of Abraham and Joseph and providing instruction for believers today to maintain and increase their fear of God.

Table of Contents: 1. Predominance of the Fear of God in Biblical ThoughtAlbert N. Martin served as a pastor of Trinity Baptist Church of Montville, New Jersey for forty-six years. He now resides in western Michigan with his wife, Dorothy.
Professor John Murray once wrote, "The fear of God is the soul of
godliness." Well said! But what is the fear of God? And how does
the Christian biblically express it? Thankfully, Reformation
Heritage Books brings us a new work that answers these questions.
Coming this October is a masterful treatment of this vital subject
by Pastor Albert N. Martin, who sets forth the Bible's teaching on
this topic in ways that are clear, practical and motivating. Since
the fear of God is a major theme from Genesis to Revelation, it is
an enormous blessing to have this comprehensive exposition
available. I highly recommend it. - Rob Ventura
"The twenty-first-century church desperately needs this book. The
fear of God is evaporating from our consciousness, and the effects
are tragically public. I am convinced that Albert Martin is casting
forth the seeds of the revival that we need in the nick of time.
The Forgotten Fear of God is a comprehensive journey from Genesis
to Revelation, tracing the rich contours of this pivotal doctrine.
It is a feast full of surprises. We need the kind of revival that
springs from the 'godly fear' of God. This book is a gift to the
church in time of need. You will know and love God more after
reading it." -- Scott Brown, president, National Center for
Family-Integrated Churches
"There is arguably no better and no wiser voice to speak about the
fear of God than Pastor Albert Martin. In this book you will find a
wonderful balance of a solid biblical argument linked with a
heart-piercing application for both the believer as well as the
unbeliever. Pastor Martin handles this lost and controversial topic
with a pastoral tenderness that is warm and inviting and highlights
well that the fear of God is a doctrine which should draw us near
to God in worship and awe, not cause us to run from Him. This book
will move you to worship God and marvel at the work of Christ on
our behalf all the more." -- Brian Croft, senior pastor, Auburndale
Baptist Church; founder, Practical Shepherding; and senior fellow,
Mathena Center for Church Revitalization, SBTS
