| | Description | Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors. Wouldn't it be great to walk out? Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, and doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, when you could trustmore and fear less. Can you imagine your life without fear? The booklet contains Chapter 1 of Fearless with additional content. | |

 Booklet ! Sep 25, 2009
By Jim McConnell
"messenger"
The "three star" rating has nothing to do with the content. This "booklet", is done in the same inspirational and sincere Christian convictions by the author, Max Lucado. It is a great little "booklet", but I must point out that it is just that, and not a full length book. I possibly overlooked that in the description; my fault. But in our economy, with only limited income, I usually pick up a booklet such at this at the local Christian book store for about $1.99, and NO shipping. I am happy with Amazon, a great company, but a caution flag to "seniors" like me on a fixed income, to watch what your're getting, for how much, and shipping charges. Thanks.

 Imagine Your Life Without Fear by Lucado Aug 08, 2010
By D J Wartes
The booklet is very small, 4x7 inches, 1/8th thick, and only covers the first chapter of the book Fearless. This was not clear in the write up so wasn't what I was expecting. The cover jacket is exactly the same as the full book which was also misleading to me. I believe the Amazon site should have had a better description to prevent this from happening. I was willing to buy the whole REAL book from the distributor, if I could have gotten a credit for the mailing charges, but was not offered that option, instead, I received multiple emails implying it was all my fault. Amazon should say in the description that this "booklet" only covers one chapter.

 Covers the important stuff from the full book. Sep 08, 2009
By Jennifer

This was a nice little booklet. It was mostly snippets from the book Fearless by Max Lucado, but it hit some of the more important parts. If you don't have the time to sit and read the whole book this booklet will suffice. I liked that in the end there was a list of scriptures rather than having them spaced all throughout the book.

When I was purchasing this book, I thought it was a book. I did not realize it was a pamphlet. Had I realized it wasn't the book form, I would not have purchased it.

Good, not great Sep 23, 2009
By Adam
I have not read any books by Max Lucado (other than a couple of children's books). I know who he is, how could anyone in the Christian world, at least the reading Christian world, not know who he is. But I have not read anything that he has written. I have always categorized him in the fluffy Christian author genre. You know, the one where the author pats us on the head and gives us nice thoughts, but doesn't challenge us much or really give us much new to think about.
I would not have picked this up but it was one of the options for the Thomas Nelson blogger program so I decided to get it and review it. (Full disclosure, this was an ebook that I downloaded free from Thomas Nelson with the understanding I would blog about it.)
The basic format was a chapter for a specific type of fear. Then Lucado would talk about why we should not fear this particular thing. In general I think it was good. I agree that the topic is relevant, I know many people that seem to fear everything. And Lucado was biblical and gave good relevant stories to illustrate his point. I gave four stars on my Goodreads and Amazon reviews.
But I think Lucado really missed the ball in his next to last chapter. It was about Fear of Global Calamity. This is certainly an appropriate topic for a chapter. But instead of dealing with why we as Christians should not fear global calamity he seemed to suggest that we should embrace Global Calamity. He connected it to Revelations and the end times, which are appropriate. However, I didn't see any thing that said, "sometimes a hurricane is just a hurricane, not judgement from God." In fact he kept saying we should look for God in calamity. Now I understand part of this, we should look for where God acts and we should personally be repentant and use tragedy to help us re-align our goals and to follow God better. But we can never be sure, this side of heaven, what is God's judgement and what is a natural occurrence, sin or a result of human depravity.
This is why I am so frustrated with John Piper's response to the tornado in St Paul and many people's response to Katrina and 9/11. I am unaware of any thing in scripture that allows us to know that God is judging a particular group because he allows a natural event.
The other part of this is that Lucado hints that the rise of calamities are an indication that the second coming is coming soon. History is littered with predictions like that. They have all been wrong.
