Fear has defined me most of my life. That was the first reason I wanted to read Fearless, simply because of the word. This book went beyond what I expected.
Max Lucado showed me that everyone struggles with fear. It’s not just me! He tells us how to face fears from losing our job to dealing with death.
Fearless is filled with inspiring stories from his own life, as well as truth of how Jesus dealt with fear and the fear of others. Everyone will relate to something.
I certainly did not walk away disappointed.

I must say that I have never been one to enjoy romance novels. The thought of reading one made my lip curl. The last thing I ever wanted to do was get engulfed into a fictional story of a man sweeping a woman off her feet and them living happily ever after. My first thought – Gag!
So, when a friend of mine said she was going to start reading this book and showed me the cover that read, Redeeming Love, I sneered. It was over 400 pages long and the word “love” turned me off immediately.
On occasion she would rave about the book and recommend that I read it. I thought to myself, I’m not reading a book that has to do with love. No thank you!
