Arthur Christopher Benson 
Where No Fear Was 
A Book About Fear

Is fear an evolutionary tool that helps us steer clear of danger and death, or is it a stumbling block that keeps us from realizing our full potential? According to essayist A. C. Benson, it is both of these things simultaneously, and many more as well. In a probing series of autobiographical sketches and essays, Benson contemplates the nature of fear and its psychological and spiritual purposes and effects.
