In Fearless, Max Lucado’s easy reading style combined with his powerful story telling ability help the reader to address the many anxieties with which most of us struggle..

Fear of not mattering.
Fear of letting God down.
Fear of losing my kids.
Fear of violence.
Fear of death.
Fear that God may not in fact be real.
Fear of individuality.

Lucado is relentless in revealing his fears and struggles to the reading audience.. He draws on real experiences and his need to surrender those fears to Christ. Ultimately, Lucado communicates that the central key to dealing with life’s fears begin and end in Christ. Jesus desires that we live a victorious life of abundance, but unfortunately fear can prevent this from happening.. It is only in trusting in Jesus that our fears can be conquered..
