Fearless
Fear may fill the world but does not have to fill your heart.
Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. Layoffs at work. Slowdowns in the economy. Health scares. Division. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into the prison of our anxious minds and keeps us from the freedom Christ offers.
New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado invites us to turn to faith, not fear, as our default reaction to the threats of life. In this book, Max will help you:
- Find freedom from the fear of insignificance.
- Take comfort that the Lord will never leave your side.
- Unleash your worries and become filled with peace.
Today, learn to trust more and fear less.
Top Highlights
“It’s not the absence of storms that sets us apart. It’s whom we discover in the storm: an unstirred Christ.” (source)
“His call to courage is not a call to naïveté or ignorance. We aren’t to be oblivious to the overwhelming challenges that life brings. We’re to counterbalance them with long looks at God’s accomplishments. ‘We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it’” (source)
“Fear, mismanaged, leads to sin. Sin leads to hiding. Since we’ve all sinned, we all hide, not in bushes, but in eighty-hour workweeks, temper tantrums, and religious busyness. We avoid contact with God.” (source)
“The more insecure we feel, the meaner we become. We growl and bare our fangs. Why? Because we are bad? In part. But also because we feel cornered.” (source)
“Prayer is the practice of sitting calmly in God’s lap and placing our hands on his steering wheel.” (source)
