Imagine a Life Without Fear

I recently finished reading Max Lucado's Fearless. This book was an incredible read, and a lot more than I expected it to be. In past books I found Lucado's insites to be a little fluffy and light, but not so with this book. It truly spoke to me in a way that no other book this year has done. I found myself relating to the examples, practicing the suggestions, and actually at the point of tears as I considered how my own fears had crippled me and how I too often had forsaken the call of Jesus to rest in His love and not to fear the things of this world. This book is truly an inspirationa, and I definitely recommend reading it.

For those of you unfamiliar with Lucado's writing style, you will easily learn that through stories are the best lessons taught. Though I am used to reading heavier texts on biblical application, this book truly met me where I was. There is no searching around for a thesaurus or dictionary. There is no deep research to be done to understand the point. Lucado simply takes passages from the Gospels and expounds on them in a modern setting. If you have fear in your life, read this book. If you know someone living with constant anxiety, read this book. When you finish, pass it on. Don't leave this on the shelf.
