FDR famously declared that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." In today's world, however, with 24 hour news and the omnipresent internet it often seems like there is no escape from fear. Fear inhibits us from being the person God created us to be. Who would we be without our constant companion, fear, and what does God have to say about fear? Those who are seeking answers to these questions will be well rewarded by reading Fearless by Max Lucado.

The premise behind Fearless is that "we can fear less tomorrow than we do today." With the Word as a guide Max Lucado in Fearless explores the Bible's teachings on fear. Specifically, Lucado identifies 14 fears and the scriptures' response. Fearless concludes with the powerful example of William Farris, a seven year old West African boy, who composed a psalm-like prayer while witnessing all of his family's possessions disintegrate in flames. If a little boy can rely on God's promises to be fearless in the face of such adversity can't we also put our trust in Him?

Fearless is a glass of water for a thirsty world.
