Book Review for Fearless by Max Lucado


First of all, the title genuinely reflects alot of the things that are happening in our society today.  I expect Max Lucado to use much scripture in his writing and i am pleasantly surprised by the amount he truly adds and the effectiveness of the scripture.  I did enjoy reading this book from the purely practical point of view of someone who has lived with the reality of fear in my life.  The faith that is spoken of in this book reflects what we are commanded to do in scripture and that is trust in Jesus and believe what the Bible tells us about fear. 

I also like some of the quotes that Max adds to help me remember how to live.  One of those quotes "Feed your fears and your faith will starve.  Feed your faith and your fears will starve." This is just plain common sense, but with a healthy twist

One of the greatest fears that people have is getting up n front of others and talking.  If we can get past the fear by using the principles that are spelled out in Max’s book, our world will open up and blossom. 

I highly recommend that you add this book to your library if you have ever experienced fear in your life.
