I had the privilege of reading Max Lucado’s book, “Fearless”. When I say privilege, I do mean it was a privilege to read this book. This book isn’t a psycho-analysis of your fears. It’s a look at your heart. Jesus asked His disciples, “Why do you fear?” That is the angle this book comes from.

We all have fears. Fears of rejection by people and God, of failure, of our children’s future, and even the fear of death itself. Max Lucado confronts these issues with the Word of God in a simple, non-confrontational, way. This is not a drill instructor pushing you out of a plane, but a loving Savior beckoning you to meet Him in the midst of your fear, and setting your eyes on Him.

Many of our fears are based in a lack of tust in God’s Word. “Fearless” attempts to give us a view of how life can be if we put our trust in Him and allow Christ to speak to the storm rather than us speaking about the storm. God is not caught by surprise when things take a turn for the worse in our lives. He knows our fears and concerns, and He is with us in the midst of the storms.

I highly recommend you buy “Fearless”. There is even a great study guide that you can do a small group study or even just a personal study.

Imagine your life without fear.
