Review of Fearless by Max Lucado

“No Fear”.
 
You’ve seen this slogan everywhere. It focuses on overcoming fear, conquering it, or maybe even winning by becoming that which is feared.
 
There’s a better way. Make fear disappear – become Fearless.
 
Max Lucado’s book, Fearless, shows you how to become Fearless by leaning on promises from God and Jesus.  He addresses real fears, not philosophical fears.  He attacks fears associated with things like: Not Mattering, Protecting your Kids, Running out of resources / money, and Death
 
The book approaches the topic with humor, personal anecdotes, and stories of famous athletes (e.g., Byron Nelson and David Robinson). Most importantly, though, there’s a large helping of God’s Word, too.  One of first ‘helpings’ is that “Fear Not” (or something similar) appears over 100 times in the Bible.  Throughout Fearless, Lucado applies specific examples of these “Fear Not” scriptures to the specific fears – he really makes it stick.
 
I read the book in no time.  While it was a fun and easy read, it was also thought provoking.  I grew up in churches and Bible classes, but Lucado brought out Biblical perspectives I hadn’t seen or considered.
 
I have recommended this already (and I just finished a few days ago)!
