Book Review – Fearless by Max Lucado

Fear is something I know about.  I’m afraid of crossing bridges in my car (but only if my kids are with me – otherwise I am good), muggers, spiders, carjackers, huge Florida roaches, home invaders, snakes, the economy and clowns.  So, I was very interested in how to be Fearless.

I wasn’t very familiar with Max Lucado before reading this book.  I had heard his name, reviewed a cartoon DVD by him, but I really didn’t know much about Max.  He is a prolific and accomplished Christian writer from Texas.  You can learn more about him here. 

In this book, the author tackles a major source of fear in the american lifestyle.  Several chapters spoke directly to me, such as:

• God’s Ticked off at me – nuff said
• I’m sinking fast - see above
• My child is in danger – a big source of anxiety in my life
• Make-believe money – economy, job, nuff said

I enjoyed this read.  It helped me to battle my fears, even overcome my fears.  If you suffer anxiety and fearful thoughts, you will benefit from reading this book.
