Fearless – Max Lucado

As the title suggests, Max Lucado’s new book is about fear.  Whether fear about the economy, the end of the world, death, school, etc., the message is that as a Christians we do not have to be held hostage by our fear.  Lucado leads us through many biblical examples of Christ imploring his followers not to be afraid and accents those Biblical references with real world examples of fear.

Max Lucado once again tackles a difficult yet pertinent issue facing all people, this time: Fear.  Lucado hit the nail on the head with this book.  Interesting and engaging from the first page, Fearless, reminded me that my temporary discomfort here on Earth is just that, temporary.  I was challenged to reaffirm my faith that the God of the universe is bigger than the fear in my life.

There is a great section in the book where Lucado lays out an 8-Step “program” to combat the fear in your life.  The book is worth buying just to get your hands on that list.  None of the steps are groundbreaking, but his description and PEACEFUL acronym are great for a note-card reminder on your desk or in your car.

An easy read, filled with great insight! I recommend this book wholeheartedly!
