Fearless, by Max Lucado

In his book Fearless, Max Lucado reminds us that “we are the most worried culture that has ever lived.” We worry about not fitting in, our children, violence, death, the unknown, and that somehow life is meaningless and God is not the answer. We are gripped and paralyzed by fear. However, Lucado does not just diagnose the problem. He also prescribes the remedy: “Listen to the voice of God calling through Scripture, “Fear not!”

This book was a blessing. In it I found the evidence of countless counseling sessions where a pastor cares for the souls of those gripped by innumerable fears. With every word I was drawn into the event and driven to God's word, which with clarity, Lucado formed the lens through which we should read the story and face the darkness. He showed me that God is everywhere and in everything and that the words, “Fear not” are not empty when they come from the lips of the one who has dominion over all things, even the darkness.

I hope you will read this book and find encouragement to overcome your fears and live with true courage being rooted in Christ.
