What if I lose my job? What if I make a mistake with my children? What if the thing I fear the most come to pass?
What are you afraid of?
In his most recent book, Fearless, Max Lucado dares to approach the very topics we are afraid to bring up:
Fear of not mattering
Fear of Disappointing God
Fear That God Is Not Real
Perhaps our biggest fear should be that God is Who we act like He is. We paint God as a tame deity. In our out-of-control world, we like to think we have a God we can control. But thanks to God He is bigger than we can imagine! He is bigger than our fears, and He is not a tame God!
This book is a quick and easy read. The author uses lots of imagery, simple language and clever antidotes. Every chapter begins with a quote from Jesus on the topic of fear. These topics range from fear of violence to financial fears and everything in between. I even think it would be an appropriate read for school-age children. I’m handing the book to my ten-year old son in the morning. What better gift can I give him than to lead him to the source of fearless living?
