Book Review of FEARLESS by Max Lucado

Once again, Max Lucado masters at the art of storytelling in his book FEARLESS (Thomas Nelson, 2009). Lucado's fluid writing can carry a reader through the in to his thoughts and bring that reader out on the other side feeling inspired and encouraged, ready to face the next chapter.

Lucado's topic in this book is facing our fears and becoming fearless through the hope that is found in God. It is truly amazing that as you read the words, it is as if your father (Father) is sitting there sharing his heart, wanting, demanding the best for you, His Child.

The best part is the great cover...a young boy truly leaping fearlessly into the calm waters of a lake on a hot summer day. It was very reminiscent of my early days doing the very same, back when there were no fears, when Mom and Dad were there to protect and guide.

We should remember and remain in that state...exactly like the photo from the cover, ever suspended in the constant of God. Boy, that's huge...suspended in the constant of God!

If you have never had the pleasure of reading Max Lucado, FEARLESS would be a great introduction to his thinking and writing style.
