Basil King

The Conquest of Fear Basil King

The Conquest of Fear is a very personal work by an author who had first-hand knowledge of the subject matter. From a very early age Basil King suffered from poor health and eyesight, and had to live with the very real possibility that he would go completely blind and die young. These debilitating fears plagued him throughout his childhood, and would return to haunt him in adulthood at crucial moments. As King sought a reprieve from his suffering, he became aware that the answer lay not in physical cure or endurance, but in spiritual harmony with God. The Conquest of Fear is an explanation of King's hard-won insights, which are as relevant today as when the book was written in 1921.
