Have you ever looked at your life and wondered if fear made more of your choices than you did?
Living With Fear: A Life of Courage, Faith, and Love is a raw and deeply reflective memoir by James P. Wagner, an insurance claims professional with a B.A. in Psychology. Drawing from decades of personal experience and professional insight, Wagner shares how fear silently influenced his relationships, decisions, and sense of identity.
This isn't a quick-fix self-help book or a lecture. It's an honest account-marked by childhood bullying, years of internal struggle, anxiety, spiritual searching, and the quiet resilience needed to face each day. Wagner doesn't pretend to have all the answers. What he offers instead is honesty, humility, and hard-earned perspective.
Through moments of self-reflection, fatherhood, love, and personal faith, Living With Fear invites readers to confront the fears they carry and find the strength to keep going.
Readers have described Living With Fear as "honest and inspiring," "a good read with compelling storytelling," and "a page-turner that shows others how to face fear head-on." One reviewer wrote, "It took real courage to write-and I'll be rereading it again." Another called it "insightful and powerful," saying it helped them reflect on their own life in a deeper way.
Wagner writes as someone who's lived through fear-not someone above it. His story is a testament to the courage it takes to show up when it would be easier to hide, and to love yourself even when you're still figuring things out.
Living With Fear is more than a memoir. It's a companion for anyone who's felt quietly lost, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of their path-and who's ready to take one honest step forward.
