Having a chance to review Fearless by Max Lucado was a great blessing. I’ve read several of the books he’s authored which number around a hundred, and always enjoy them.  Fearless was no exception.

Max uses simple language while really breaking an idea down to its’ core, making a complicated idea easy to understand. In Fearless, Lucado tackles the subject of, as you can guess, fear. But it goes much deeper than fear. He covers the innate fear in humans: the fear of whether or not we matter. Do we matter to others? Do we matter to Gd? Are we good enough to matter?

But he shows us how God says, through his Word, that we are”worth more than sparrows.” He covers many fears including fear of running out of luck, whether we have enough, not protecting our children, violence & not having enough. He even covers intangible fears like global collapse and changes in our circumstances.

With each fear he shows us through God’s Word, how to trust in God and fear less. It was a very comforting book to read. I’ll be referencing it many times during my years. That I am sure of.

For anyone who wants to delve deeper into the topics of the book, Max has added a discussion guide for groups or individuals at the end of the book. Overall, I really enjoyed the book. For being a quick  218 page read, it was packed with insight we may not always be able to glean from our own study of fears or through reading the Bible. Highly recommended by this less fearful mother of five.
