“Because I said so”
5 months ago
It seems that every time we turn on the television, pick up the newspaper, or visit our favorite news forum online we are bombarded with all the things in life we should fear. Perhaps you find yourself living under this perpetuated umbrella of “terror.”
If so, it’s not new to our generation. Each generation has its own unique opportunities to wrestle with. But we all have to ask ourselves, “Is this a healthy way to live?”
This is the question that Max Lucado answers for us in his new book Fearless. Max not only answers this question but also gives a compelling view of what our lives could be if we were to rise above this doom and gloom mentality and learn to live by faith in something, or rather someone, far greater than our daily doses of despair.
If you are a parent that is fearful of what kind of child you will raise, you need to read this book.
If you are unemployed and you are fearful of the future, you need to read this book.
If your daily choices are affected by worry and unpredictable outcomes, you need to read this book.
If you are responsible for communicating God’s truth, you need to read this book.
Max Lucado is one of my favorite authors and he has hit a home run with Fearless. I encourage you to pick up a copy today. Your outlook on life will greatly benefit for having done so.

Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked doors. Wouldn't it be great to walk out? Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more and fear less.
Can you imagine your life without fear?
I will be posting my review of this book on September 8.
