Bestselling author and reknowned pastor Max Lucado offers to readers this introductory message to his new book Fearless. A Message from Max Lucado
 Fear seems to be in the driver’s seat these days. People are troubled and anxious. Finances are tumbling, rockets are launching, and seemingly solid institutions are teetering. It's tough for folks to know where to turn.
Two years ago I began writing a new book entitled Fearless. Little did I know then what we'd be facing now, but God did. The book examines Jesus' statements about fear and encourages us to take heart in difficult times.
The antidote to the fear epidemic? Trust. If we trust God more, we can fear less. What a comforting promise.
-Max Lucado
A Message from Thomas Nelson Publishers For the past few years we have seen a rejuvenated Max Lucado. Since taking a different step in his role at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, TX Max has devoted more of his time to writing and preaching, thus he is more in his "sweet spot." Fearless is a wonderful result of that by addressing the issue of Fear in our world, our community, and our personal lives. This year, he hosted a town hall on fear at his church and was able to receive questions from the attendees and readers on Twitter, Facebook, e-mail, and by phone. It was encouraging to see Max help them realize that that they are not alone and can fight fear with the help of God, their family, friends, and at church. With the growth of social media, our team has had the ability to dialogue with Max Lucado readers on a whole new level. It has been encouraging to hear their stories of overcoming fear whether it may be facing financial ruin, fighting a difficult relationship, going into a serious surgery, figuring out how to be calm and protecting their children, etc. It has helped our team recognize more than ever how important a message like Fearless is to everyday people. People are left inspired by Max Lucado. My hope is that someday you will be able to meet Max Lucado in person. He is as geniune of a person as he is in his books.
In 2010, it is Max's 25th Anniversary in publishing and he will working toward the goal of sponsoring 25,000 children through World Vision. His book "Outlive Your Life" will help capture the spirit of service that we as Christians must embrace just as the early church did in the book of Acts. We hope you will also be inspired by these words. Thank you Amazon and readers for your support of Max through the years.

 Best Max Lucado Book Ever! September 5, 2009
Tamera Lynn Kraft (Akron, OH)
83 out of 87 found this review helpful
I expected to enjoy reading Fearless. I've enjoyed reading every book Max Lucado wrote. But this book went far beyond my expectations. This is literally the best Max Lucado book I've ever read. I believe it has changed my life for the better.
I've never been a fearful person. I've always been the one to scoff at those who allow fears to stop them from doing what God has called them to do. That was before God turned my life upside down and changed everything about where I believed He was leading me. I started to have anxiety attacks at times and would allow fear to stop me in my tracks. I couldn't even label what I was afraid of.
Max Lucado's book, Fearless, showed me that everyone battles fears. He described what fears are common to all of us and how those fears can destroy our lives. He also showed in a very practical way how we can have victory over fear. God doesn't want us to be fearful. He wants us to give our fears to him. I recommend every Christian read this book. Even if you don't believe yourself to be fearful, this book will help you.
Change Your Default from Fear to Faith September 8, 2009
Melinda Lancaster (Spring Hill, TN United States)

Max Lucado's newest book "Fearless" exposes the troubling truth that we are living in a generation that depends on more mood altering drugs than any before us. Despite technological achievements, medical advancements, and security enhancements it appears that fear now sits in the driver's seat and is taking people on some troubling trips.
Fortunately we are able to get past the corrosive effects of fear by grabbing hold of the many statements that Jesus made. Although fear has become our default the author makes it clear that there is hope and encouragement as we look to God during difficult times. Using Scriptural examples and real life stories Max hacks away at the roots of many fears "common to man" that won't make the evening news. Covering everything from "fear of not mattering" to "fear that God is not real" "Fearless" brings powerful truths, that when fully embraced, have the potential to be life-changing.
I have enjoyed Max's work for years. He takes it up a notch in this book, using a more indepth teaching style than he has in the past. The increased substance makes "Fearless" a perfect candidate for small group studies.
Read it, embrace the hope it offers, and fear less.
Timely book for today's world September 2, 2009
Deena Peterson (Marysville, CA)

It would seem that, these days especially, it's hard to find anyone who lives a life without some kind of fear. In today's economic and political climate, some would say that the media specializes in creating fear.
So a book about how to live fearlessly seems very timely to me. Especially one written by the people's pastor, Max Lucado. In his everyday, conversational style, his books are easy to read and to understand, making them easy to apply in a practical way.
In his new release, Pastor Lucado discusses a variety of common fears: fear of death, of loss of income, of the unknown, and many others. In each chapter, he tackles on particular fear and illustrates through scripture and anecdotes why we can conquer that fear.
Each chapter spoke to me on a personal level. It seems I have many fears; but it also seems I'm not alone. I think Pastor Lucado's new book is going to strike a resounding chord in many hearts, and this one is destined to be a best-seller.
Of course, there is one fear that is healthy. That is a fearful, or reverent approach, to God. That chapter rounds up the discussion of fear, and definitely puts it back into proper perspective.
I appreciated the message of Pastor Lucado's book, and it is easy to see why so many call him the people's pastor. I'm giving "Fearless" five out of five bookmarks, with a Bible as a charm. Don't just read the Scriptures Pastor Lucado quotes...look them up and mark them in your Bible.
In fact, I'm adding a bonus highlighters as a charm.
Happy Reading!

I really enjoyed this book. Uncertain as to what kind of Fear we would be learning about. I found this book to be very easy to read, insightful, fresh and educational. The way Max Lucado lays out this book is great. With Chapter Titles like "My Child Is in Danger - Fear of Not Protecting My Kids" and "There's a Dragon in My Closet - Fear of Worst-Case Scenarios" you really get a feel of where it will lead you. The Author is wonderful about backing up his statements with Biblical truths.I would recommend this book for everyone. It is a clean, easy read with a wonderful discussion guide in the back. I hope you enjoy it! I sure did.

Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear September 3, 2009
Edwina E. Cowgill (Georgia)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I don't think there is a single adult in America that is not concerned (a nice way to say "afraid") about the economy, war, Middle East tensions, children with guns at school, terrorism...the list could continue indefinitely. And we have our own personal fears: illness, children, aging parents, job security...another list that could continue to the bottom of the page, at least.
Max Lucado proves in his book that there is a better way to deal with our fears. From the back cover:
"Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain? Envision the day when you can trust more and fear less."
Max has done it again. He has taken a subject that is on everyone's mind these days-- and in his own succinct, always gentle and sometimes humorous way-- has addressed it from the viewpoint of faith.
With no hesitation at all, I can confidently recommend this book to everyone. No book is more timely for the current state of affairs in our nation and world and no book addresses our fears as well as Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear.
No matter who you are or what situation you find yourself in, this book will help you to increase your faith and live a life "fearless!"
