    • You’re a kid, but you weren’t born yesterday. You know there are dangerous things out there, plus things that make you feel a bit nervous, and being told ‘don’t worry about it’ doesn’t magically fill your mind with rainbows and ice cream.

      You’ve also heard that God is powerful and loving, but just being told that doesn’t seem to kick your scary thoughts out either.

      Dr Sarah has met lots of kids just like you, kids who are loved by God and who have worries they need to face. She’ll help you discover what fear is all about, how your body and mind work, and—best of all!—God himself (the one who’s bigger than the scary stuff and really can help!).

      You’ll explore 10 Bible passages with your coach (hello parent or trusted adult!) and do 10 training sessions by yourself to use your upsetting experiences as a way to grow. The bad things won’t be gone, but your feelings about them will change as you come to know God better.

      Oh, and if cats are one of your scary things—the one inside this book is very nice!

      • For kids 8–12 years old.
      • Includes extra help for adults.
      • Get out the pens and pencils!

As a mother, I’ve often felt the challenge of helping my children navigate their worries, anxieties, and fears. That’s why I’m so grateful for this incredibly helpful resource from Dr. Sarah Allen. Her book offers both children and the adults who love them a way to lean more deeply into the sovereignty of God and to put our fears in the right perspective. It’s fun, relatable, and refreshingly real—deeply grounded in Scripture while also drawing wisely from psychological insight. I believe it will not only equip our children to face life’s challenges with greater gospel confidence, but also foster honest, meaningful conversations that will strengthen our relationships with them for years to come.

I got Scary Stuff for my daughter who struggles with anxiety. She's loving it and told me all about the first two chapters. We had planned to do it together with me as her 'coach' but she just ploughed ahead. She said it's helping her not only with her fears but also her relationship with God. So great stuff!

Dr Sarah’s deep knowledge of the Bible, her medical training, and her love for kids have given us this wonderful resource. Levels of anxiety are on the rise in our culture, especially among the young. Sarah helps parents and carers introduce kids to the God who says “So do not fear, for I am with you; Is 41:10”.  This book will be your guide as you walk with kids though scary things and help them know God’s special promises to care for his little people.
