FearlessMax Lucado  Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked doors. Wouldn't it be great to walk out? Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more and fear less. Can you imagine your life without fear? Pages: 224 Click to download and read chapter 1. (PDF - requires Adobe Reader)

Did you find this review helpful?  |  Hits right at the heart of Fear - Erik - 9/26/2009In Matthew (in the Bible) 8:26, Jesus says, "Why are you afraid?" Lucado jumps right into this question and looks at all the reasons we deal with fear. From not mattering to not being able to protect your kids to not knowing the future to being afraid of what comes after this life. Lucado tackles it all. He points out that Jesus takes our fears seriously and that the one statement he made more than any other was, "don't be afraid." I find it interesting that Jesus spent a good amount of time saying that. I know I deal with and have dealt with fear in my life. Growing up I was afraid of the dark. As an adult I have dealt with fear of not being able to protect my kids. Fear can have a snowball effect on us and bring us to our knees. In the book Lucado mentions that "Fear itself is not a sin. But it can lead to sin." "Fear may fill our world, but it doesn't have to fill our hearts. It will knock on the door. Just don't invite in in for dinner, and for heaven's sake don't offer it a bed for the night." I have always enjoyed how he is able to take a concept and personalize it. He does so with fear. In the chapter on kids he recommends to pray over your kids regularly, especially when you fear you can't protect them. "When you send them off for the day, do so with a blessing. When you tell them goodnight, cover them in prayer. Is your daughter stumped by geography homework? Pray with her about it." A simple concept, but sometimes very difficult to keep at. Pray! I need to pray more for my kids. I recommend you pick this one up. It's an easy and enjoyable read with great stories that hit the heart. There is also a discussion guide at the back of the book for every chapter. This will help you dig deeper on the concept and could be a great idea for a group read and discussion time. 133 out of 243 visitors found this review helpful.

Did you find this review helpful? | Fearless by Max Lucado - Cheryl (Wauchula, FL) - 9/26/2009I believe that Max is right on target this book. In these days and times when there are so many cicumstances out of our control. Family , health insurance, education, tyranny, safety, even our nation's worldview of Jesus as as Saviour and Lord is being attacked externally and internally. It seems that no one is safe anymore and doubt begins to invade a Christians heart with...Is my family and my loved ones really safe in every aspect. I look extremely forward to Max shedding inspired thoughts and word of God and right teachings to get us back on track. ... not looking at our world, but looking up to Jesus. Can't wait to read the rest of the book.! Thank you, Cheryl 125 out of 251 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? | Other titles by Max Lucado
