Book Review: "Fearless" by Max Lucado

I am honestly not a religious person, but insight into living as a better person both inside and out is something I am always interested in reading about. I mean I could use all the help I can get and I like to be open-minded and try out new things so even though Max Lucado’s new book “Fearless” has a Christian background I decided to read it anyway. It also helped because it was a very quick read at easy font.

Fearless is a book that deals with all of the different fears we face everyday and offers ways to deal with them. Now Max Lucado is all about faith and uses multiple quotes from the Bible throughout the book. He does offer one heartfelt, inspirational story, which I can honestly relate to more than the Bible quotes. So if you are looking for a Chicken Soup for the Soul type book, this is not one of them, b but it was still an interesting read.

I appreciated how Max Lucado broke the book down into chapters dealing with all different fears. Some of the fears he touches upon are of being in need, issues around children, overwhelming challenges, violence, money issues, death, global problems, disappointing God, and more. Honestly, there is a chapter in there that everyone can relate to and learn from, but just beware of the Bible references and try to be open-minded. I learned to appreciate Max Lucado’s perspective and realize that I am not alone and that a little faith can go a long way!

Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.
