Fearless = Fear Less

A review of Fearless, written by Max Lucado.

Max Lucado’s new book covers a subject that everyone deals with on a daily basis: Fear. We are all afraid of something… spiders, snakes, heights… but also rejection, taking risks, failure, letting down our guard, losing someone we love, the unknown. Lucado does it again with his new book entitled Fearless from Thomas Nelson. He, as usual, knows how to put things in perspective, in plain English... knows how to help us find what’s been staring us in the face all along. As a Christian, what do we have to fear?

It’s almost trite to say it anymore, but if God is in control, why do we worry at all? We can’t help ourselves, it’s a built-in reaction. The people in the Bible worried. The disciples in that little boat on the raging, stormy sea… they were scared to death even with Jesus right there with them. If they can be afraid with Jesus within 5 feet of them, of course we can be afraid when we don’t feel Jesus is close. But, God is ALWAYS close. And He is never shaken, never surprised, never worried.And in that, we should take comfort.

Lucado covers may areas of fear: not mattering, violence, death, not knowing, doubt and more. These are the very things that we, as humans, struggle with every single day. Lucado acknowledges these fears, but also that it’s unreasonable to live in complete fear when God has given us hope and a promise. Faith is what we should live by… not fear.

I always enjoy reading what Max Lucado has to say, and this book does not change that opinion in the slightest. In this book, he encourages me to take steps to get over my fears and live the life God has in store for me!

This book released today, you can find it here.

Keep rockin' for Christ!
