Fearless by Max Lucado

Courage is fear with running shoes. Or something like that. Fearless is a book written in our time, for us, by someone that walks among us. It is actually relevant to your Christian walk and helps answer a lot of soul-searching questions, most of us have or will have at one time or another. I found reading this book was at a very appropriate time in my life, and that this book helped me through a very difficult, heart-wrenching time of loss and sadness. When I began to read this book, I thought it would be more entertaining, since a lot of Max Lucado’s books weave a story that you can relate to via a life lesson. What I found was that the biblical answers and examples given enabled me to look at Christ in a modern-day world. How would Christ react to the recession, job losses, or foreclosures? Well, he says, “Fear not. “ Max Lucado shows how Christ reacted in many real situations and then criss-crosses the generations, to show how Christ is alive today in our lives. Fearless is a book for Christians to read and remember that we have a God-given right to be fearless.
