Fearless by Max Lucado is my latest Thomas Nelson Book Review Bloggers pick.
Review resources are available here.
This is a great book. Pastor Lucado brings our fears out into the light. He discusses our fears of insignificance, parenting failures, illness, financial disaster, worst-case scenarios, the evils of this world, and many more. For each, he reminds us gently but seriously how to take our fears to Jesus and respond in faith. He works humor and Scripture into a very serious topic. He recognizes the great space fear takes up in our lives, yet cuts it down to size in the light of the reality of God’s mercy.
About 8 years ago I was deep in the vice of fear and through resources like this and the grace of God I worked my way out of it. I need this book. It is a good reminder of very good truths, but we all suffer from spiritual amnesia when fear sets in.
The accompanying discussion guide is a good resource for private or group study of the concepts in the book, Scripture truths, and self-examination.
