Review of Max Lucado's book "Fearless"

Fearless. Believe it or not, Max Lucado has outdone himself this time! At first glance this would appear to be just another book to fill the shelves of Christian and secular stores. But it is far more than that. This is a book that speaks volumes to a world that faces fear perhaps more than any generation, and that needs to hear a positive message in the midst of all the confusion.
Fear is center stage in our lives. The news carries word of a continued failing economy and bailouts, worldwide disasters, rumors and ravages of war. On the personal level we experience angry outbursts by an irate boss or spouse, loss or potential loss of a job due to cutbacks or inefficiency. Plus the daily situations which bring fear, such as fender benders, mechanical breakdowns, forced entries, physical harm, sickness and disease which potentially come to us or those we love.
In the midst of all this, Max Lucado gives us hope for the future! For some people it seems almost to be unbelievable that they could live a life without fear, but the fact remains that we can overcome fear. We can develop a faith that will conquer the fear in our life.
Our trust in a loving, caring heavenly father will make all the difference. He knows the pain and fear the world can cause. He sent His son right into the midst of it. It everything is going bad and there is cause to fear, keep trust Him! Max quotes one of his friends, “Everything will work out in the end. If it’s not working out, it’s not the end.”
Max has outdone himself this time! Fearless is destined to be considered a classic of the 21st century.
