Fearless

Fear is a large topic...you can fear anything from a spider to fear of being alone. Last year I had a huge fear of living by myself. I would not sleep at night, thinking that someone would come in and harm Caroline or myself. By not sleeping at night, it took a turn on my production and emotions during the day. I thought after Matt got home that the fear at night would discontinue. Well...I was wrong. The fear at night continues, but after reading the first chapter of Fearless I realized that this book is just the book for me. I suggest this book to anyone. God mentions more verses in the Gospel about fear than any other topic. Let me know what you think!

Max Lucado writes, Some fear being sued, finishing last, going broke, the mole on the back, and the sound of the clock as it ticks us closer to the grave. Every season seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. And it feels dreadful. Fear sucks the life out of the soul, curls us into an embryonic state, and drains us dry of contentment. Wouldn't it be great to escape it? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? According to Jesus, this is possible. The one statement he made more than any other was this: "Don't be afraid." In this book, Max Lucado invites you to consider Jesus' invitation to courage. Fear will always knock on your door. Just don't invite it in for dinner. And for heaven's sake, don't offer it a bed for the night. The promise of Christ and the contention of these pages are simple: we can fear less tomorrow than we do today.
