Your child dying.
Your husband running off with his secretary.
Not having enough money.
Not being liked.
Death.
This book came at the right time for me. I have recently experienced a number of personal events that awakened every fear within me. The day that “Fearless” arrived in my mailbox, God began to work. Mr Lucado addresses the rational and sometimes irrational fears that we have and approaches them in a way that shows God’s control and sovereignty.
I have always loved Max Lucado’s books but because I have my firm favorites, I didn’t expect this one to hit home as hard as it did. This book challenged me to respond to God’s goodness and in so doing, release my fear to Him. To me, this book is summed up in a simple statement right in the first chapter – “Fear corrodes our confidence in God’s goodness.” I am challenged, when faced with fear, to look unto God, the Name above all names, to immerse myself in Scripture and to remind myself that the Creator of the Universe cares not only for the sparrows of the air, but also for me. As always, Max Lucado backs up his statements and storytelling with scripture references.
This book has changed me. Mr Lucado has reminded me that my courage lies in my faith. This is a book I will read again.
