Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear
Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.
They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word "terror." Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next

This book belongs on every bookshelf. Period.
Fear is something that affects all of us. We’re concerned that we don’t matter in the grand scheme of life. The scheme comes from Satan, to convince us that we don’t matter.
We need to remember who made each of us.
Many of us try to address our fears by material goods, designer jeans, the newest iPhone, certain models of cars, where we eat, and so f...more

Fear.
Everyone knows that name.
You can see it on the face of a startled infant; you can see it in the eyes of a dying man. Fear is one of the inescapable consequences of being human.
Or is it?
Is it possible to live without fear?
Max Lucado says we can fight fear, and learn to live without its life-draining presence, as we learn to trust in Christ.

Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.
They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, downturns in the housing market and upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken a 100-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked doors. Wouldn't it be great to walk out?

Have you ever felt like a book was written with your most overwhelming fears specifically in mind? That's how I felt as I read, "Fearless," by Max Lucado. Mr. Lucado addressed numerous worrisome issues, such as fear of violence, death, and the uncertainty of tomorrow. He even tackled that forbidden little question that pops up at the most unexpected times, and casts doubt upon the very foundation of a Christian belief: "What if God's not real?"

“According to the media the world is one scary place. And we suspect a campaign to keep it that way. Fear sells. Fear glues watchers to their seats, sells magazines off the racks, and puts money in the pockets of the system.”
Looking at my life and how I live, I wonder if we’ve trained ourselves to operate more out of fear. It becomes the drug that sends our hearts racing and our minds creating contingency plans. And although we face life through the orange colored lens of Homeland Security
