I received [an autographed copy of!] Max Lucado’s book, Fearless, as a gift but haven’t carved out time to read it until recently. My Tuesday prayer group decided to read it, so I am finally getting into it. I love Max Lucado’s work, and so far, Fearless lives up to everything else I have read of his.

I love the way that Max Lucado introduces nuggets of theological expertise (like sharing the root word seismos as a descriptor of the storm on the Sea of Galilee) without making the reader feel stupid.

One impression that we held in common after reading just the first chapter so far is that we all have so much fear in our lives that we often don’t realize (or acknowledge) is there. I recommend Fearless — and all of Lucado’s work, for that matter!
