Max Lucado - Fearless

Who of us hasn't been afraid? When we're little our fears are obvious, we're afraid of the dark or the deep end of the pool, or clowns. The thing is that our fears stick with us when we grow up, they're just harder to point out because they seem more reasonable. That is the subject of Max Lucado's latest book, Fearless. As the title suggests, Fearless discusses the topic of our fears, how they control us, how they limit us, and, most importantly, how to overcome them.

I don't want to give away too much about this book, but I really enjoyed it and would encourage anyone to read it, even if you don't think you have a problem with fear. Max Lucado is a gifted wordsmith and does an excellent job of conveying biblical truth in a way that is engaging and makes for an enjoyable (not to mention enlightening) read.

All of that aside, I would have to say that my favorite thing about this book is that it is true to scripture and it explains that Jesus is the solution to our fears. It proclaims this message not in a way that is talking down to you, as though you were some sort of creature inferior to the author, or up to you pandering to your desires, trying to please you, but across like a friend who knows where you're at, and feels for your situation.
