Fearless

Fear, it seems to grip us all, every one of us has something that we are afraid of. We fear terrorists, the economy, losing our jobs, losing our health, whatever it is, fear is everywhere. What would happen if we could replace fear with faith? That instead of dwelling on the what-if’s or what could happen, we concentrated on Jesus and His power.
The Gospels urge us some 21 times to “not be afraid” or “fear not” or “have courage” or “take heart” or “be of good cheer.’ It is the most common command given.

In Max Lucado’s latest book, “Fearless” he discusses the most common things that we all fear from the “Fear of not Mattering” to the fear of “What if Things Get Worse?.”
In Max Lucado unique style, he explains not only that we all fear something, but that the only true escape from fear is faith in Jesus Christ.
This is book is both insightful and informative. Whether you are currently living a life that is overcome with fear or you have faced fear in the past you will come away with a greater understanding of fear the consequences of it, plus you will learn how to allow God to release you from your fear and to truly put your trust and faith in Jesus.
