You NEED this Book!

I needed this book. You need this book. Everyone you know needs this book. The message is timely and critical to the faith of every believer. For those who don’t believe, the chance to imagine your life without fear will bring you face to face with Jesus and you might just find yourself taking a leap of faith. Max Lucado encourages you to “jump” and believe that God is there to catch you. He challenges you to face your fears with faith and learn what it means to live free, safe in the arms of God…fearless.

I’ve never been an avid reader of Max Lucado, but this book has changed that. He begins the book with a heart wrenching story about his brother who died after a short season of sobriety; I had to pause and collect myself after only reading four paragraphs. (It was very moving) In a passionate, organized, and powerful way, Lucado addresses the depths of our hearts and souls as they daily encounter the debilitating results of living in fear. Lucado uses personal stories, as well as incredibly pertinent examples from acquaintances and even strangers around him to drive home the message. The stories were fantastically chosen. For some particular reason, the last paragraph of every chapter was particularly powerful. It forced me to take a breath, self reflect, and step forward in my faith. You will find it hard to put this book down; once you’re finished you’ll turn to Chapter One and start all over again. The power of this message makes it clear that Max Lucado may have been typing the message of the book, but God was the One writing the pages.
