Upon receiving FEARLESS in the mail, I was anxious to read Max Lacado’s insight on this subject. Little did I expect to find the introspective looks into my life as I read each chapter. Rarely do I feel like a book has “spoken directly to me.” This one not only spoke; but, it shouted, whispered, hugged and corrected me.
The timing of the release of this book is impeccable…our world is facing a number of critical situations and its citizens will choose to process those situations in a number of ways. Lucado takes the issue of fear and gives an amazingly intuitive look at the Word of God and really brings it home for us. This is more than powerful stories or applications. We get to see real fear in the Word of God in Jesus’ followers, His onlookers and even those who may have opposed Him. Regardless of who they were, we see God’s answer---to be fearless.
This book will provide a great source of help, encouragement, and courage to those that need it. {Not to mention the enormous amount of material this preacher will use in future sermons}. If you or someone whom you know is in need of a release from fear or anxiety, put this book in their hands. I can honestly say it will be life-changing for many. I laughed, cried and prayed all through it. I have a feeling you will too…fearlessly!
