I am a huge fan of Max Lucado's books and have been since I was 14. This book is no exception to the quality and depth that Max Lucado provides in his books. This book has helped me to see that I should not have fear in my life because I have been washed in the Blood and He is with me daily.
Fear is not something that is of God. In Christ, there is no fear. Lucado does a good job in pointing this out. Everyone has fears, even if they do not want to admit it. Some people fear things like water, bridges, germs, or spiders. Other people fear the not so obvious things like rejection, being unloved, or dying alone. The world says that if you have overwhelming fears, you can take medicine and it will make it all go away. That is wrong! The only way to rid your life of fear is to trust in God and His love. Max Lucado shows us that there are over 20 times in the Bible when Jesus tells us “fear not.” This is something that most Christians overlook, but if it was said that many times, it needs to be focused on!
Fearless also shows us that the opposite of fear is faith. Faith that we will get the job. Faith that we will have a good, healthy life. Faith that we will have a long and happy marriage. Faith that our children will grow strong in the Lord and have a family of their own one day. Faith that no matter what our circumstances are, God is there with us and He is in control of it all.
Every Christian should read this book!
