Go ahead judge this book by its cover.  One look at the cover of Fearless, by Max Lucado will tell the reader exactly what it is about.  Fearless is about dealing with fear and worry as a normal person (as apposed to a Hollywood action hero who “knows no fear”).  Lucado opens Fearless with a chapter (appropriately entitled “Why Are We Afraid?) explaining fear itself and the how it affects all of us.  Each subsequent chapter approaches a specific area of fear, for example:  Chapter two deals with the “Fear of Not Mattering;” chapter seven addresses the, “Fear of Worst-Case Scenarios;” and so on.

This is actually the first Max Lucado book that I have ever read, and I have to say that I’m extremely impressed.  I began this book for no other reason except this review, but it has turned out to be extremely relevant for me.  Fearless reaches in and grapples with areas of fear and worry that everyone faces from time to time.  Max Lucado approached each area of fear from a Scriptural standpoint, laying down solutions that were both practical and encouraging.  Fearless is an absolute “must read” for anyone who ever suffers from fear and worry.
