My way past fear—my path through the valley of the shadow—is Jesus Christ. I strongly recommend it. Other great traditions have other paths; I suspect they're not quite so straight and well-marked, but they still get you through the valley in the end.
Thank you for the recommendation, Sydney. I'm not part of any faith, myself - aside from paying $30 to become a Reverend of the Church of the SubGenius eight or so years ago (seemed like a good idea at the time) - and either the deity has yet to reveal itself to me or I was distracted when it happened. I'm doing pretty good so far, though. Maybe not great - the fight against fear's conquest is an ongoing one - but I've come a long way in the past few years, mainly due to the love of a very good woman.
Besides, I'd probably only join a church to meet gamers, anyway...
