Most us know all the scriptures that we can recite off pat, yet often it doesn’t hit were it needs to. That constant tugging of “what if” causes us to dwell on these thoughts and hold back many words and actions. With a cover picture that simply promotes freedom without reckless abandon, this book is a fast, simple read.

“Fearless” by Max Lucado once again uses common sense and practical ideas with bible teaching to help the reader see how unfounded and even silly most of our fears are. With the state that the world is in, it’s easy to expect the worst but ML reminds us that Jesus instructed us to “fear not”. It is written in plain simple terms so even people who don’t see themselves as accomplished readers could finish this in no time at all. ML’s attention to details and imagery is a delight and the reader can picture Jesus “walking in a scented, gardened valley of olive groves and luscious fruit trees”, which just adds to the pleasure of reading this book.

At the back of the book is a discussion guide that has a section for each chapter. It can be used for groups or individuals. This is definitely one of the best I have read from this gentleman’s collection. So instead of imagining the “what ifs” – imagine “why not” and as the book promotes, “living your life without fear”.
