One of my favorite authors, Max Lucado, has a new book from Thomas Nelson publishers called Fearless. This release is perfect for the uncertainty and worries plaguing so many today. Each chapter focuses on a different fear we face in life. Some of these include fear of not mattering, fear of disappointing God, fear of not protecting my kids, fear of violence, fear of life’s final moments, and fear that God is not real.
The fears we face in this life are real. This book is a wonderful reminder, however, that through Christ we do not need to be afraid. Did you know that of the 125 imperatives of Christ in the Gospels that “21 urge us to ‘not be afraid’ or ‘not fear’ or ‘have courage’ or ‘take heart’ or ‘be of good cheer’ (page 10)? This is encouraging! I cannot say just how much I enjoyed this book and the timely message shared. One thing I appreciated was the relevant Bible verse at the beginning of each chapter. I highly recommend that you buy it and read it for yourself.
Another resource is a booklet called Imagine Your Life Without Fear. This wonderful resource would be nice to give to those needing encouraging word.
The website is also an additional resource to go along with this book.
"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and also in me...I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am." John 14:1, 3 NLT
Have a day of blessings!

Very nice review.
This is an incredible book. The chapter about Jarius and his daughter moved me to buckets full of tears. What a gift Max Lucado has; he is one of my favorites too!
I love Max Lucado too. I gave several of his books to my late grandfather as gifts. It's such a wonderful treasure to have them back marked in with Papaw's insights.
I saw this in the Christian's bookstore's magazine. It's good to see another review.
Good review. I'm glad you read this book and are encouraging others to read it.
