Book Review-Fearless

We are currently living in a world of fear. Fear of flying, fear of terrorism, fear of H1N1, fear of what our children and grandparent will be exposed to, fear of not being loved, fear of loosing love, fear of not having health care coverage…and the list could go on. Max Lucado again presents an extraordinary book that confronts and convicts his readers. In Fearless, Lucado uses scripture to expand on the fears that we have, from the single person to parents, from the aging to the young. The subtitle of this book is “imagine your life without fear.” We area all fearful in one area or another, and Lucado uses this book to point out areas that we may not realize we even have fear. Lucado points out that Fear is the direct opposite of love. Lucado uses clear and convicting language to address these issues of fear. He does not offer prosperity preaching in this book, but offers truth about the issues that we deal with and face. Lucado points the reader to scripture and our relationship with God to encourage us to let go of our fear, since perfect love drives out fear. Fear can be a strong hold in life. I highly recommend this book to everyone and have since bought copies for friends and the accompanying devotional as well.
