Fearless by Max Lucado

Max Lucado in his typical sing songy style brings to life poetically the phrase, "Be still and know that I am God" in his latest book. Fearless drives home the point with vivid illustration that casting our cares and concerns on Christ as all we need is better than living life driven by fear. He drives us with his encouragement to look to Christ.

Lucado's style is very much the same as his writing in other books. He classically includes another story similar to the story of Punchinello and the wemicks. It is poetry all about a place called stiltsville and he drives home the point that behind much of the desire for fame and success is fear.

This book is great for the new believer that is trying to understand their place in this world as they embrace the redefining message of Christ. It is also great for the seasoned believer as a reminder that we can face this world's problems with trust.
