I was 12 when I first saw Mrs. Howard, a frail young woman who lived above us.  In two years she rarely left her apartment.  And when she did, just a glance would send her running back in fear.  I believe Max Lucado understands fear and the daily battle Mrs. Howard and others like her face when he says “Fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors.”  

In his new book Fearless, Lucado gives us the wisdom and courage to deal with fear head-on. Though fear targets each of us in different ways, Lucado skillfully uses wit, warmth and empathy to show us how anyone can break free forever. 

With six captivating words, Lucado will plunge you into a poignant memory that leads to a journey of discovery and freedom.  The 221-page book is a quick read. Through stories, scripture and truth, Lucado reveals the many faces of fear that seek to destroy “our confidence in God’s goodness.”  He also provides a valuable tool to help individuals and groups examine, expose and defeat plaguing fears. 

If you’re tired of dealing with fear─ of any kind─ Lucado’s Fearless, born out of his own loss and pain, will give you the strength and grace to enjoy God’s goodness like never before.
