<\/a><\/div>\n
“Fearless” is a new book by Max Lucado. I’ve never read any of Max Lucado’s work but I was curious about him because it seems that he has written half the books on sale at Mardel’s. I asked for and received a complimentary copy of Fearless from  the publisher, Thomas Nelson, as part of their program where they provide several hundred copies of selected books to bloggers.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I read the book and found it absorbing. Mr. Lucado makes his points by way of stories. Mostly Bible stories and vignette’s of Lucado’s family and friends. He repeats his points several times in different ways. The book is easy reading and I just flew through it. I don’t think that it is a lightweight book. It is deceptively simple. I think that teaching by telling stories is powerful. It goes right to our hearts and bypasses our minds. Jesus told stories in his teachings. They were simple on the surface, until you thought about them. Mr. Lucado is of course not Jesus but his teaching style is powerful.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
He talks about fear, the sources of fear, how to deal with fear, all from a Biblical perspective. I found his writing style very compelling. I enjoyed the book.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I think that it is worth reading. I rate it three stars out of four.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Would I have bought the book? Nope, the only books I buy are the Harry Potter books, and there are no more of those. I would have checked this out at the library though.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Thomas Nelson has set up a web site for the book here<\/a>. It is definitely worth checking into.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
