Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear
Bestselling author and reknowned pastor Max Lucado offers to readers this introductory message to his new bookFearless.  A Message from Max LucadoFear seems to be in the driver’s seat these days.  People are troubled and anxious.  Finances are tumbling, rockets are launching, and seemingly solid institutions are teetering.  It's tough for folks to know where to turn.Two years ago I began writing a new book entitledFearless.  Little did I know then what we'd be facing now, but God did.  The book examines Jesus' statements about fear  and encourages us to take heart in difficult times.The antidote to the fear epidemic?  Trust.  If we trust God more, we can fear less.  What a comforting promise.-Max LucadoA Message from Thomas Nelson PublishersFor the past few years we have seen a rejuvenated Max Lucado.  Since taking a different step in his role at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, TX Max has devoted more of his time to writing and preaching, thus he is more in his "sweet spot."Fearlessis a wonderful result of that by addressing the issue of Fear in our world, our community, and our personal lives.   This year, he hosted a town hall on fear at his church and was able to receive questions from the attendees and readers on Twitter, Facebook, e-mail, and by phone.  It was encouraging to see Max help them realize that that they are not alone and can fight fear with the help of God, their family, friends, and at church.  With the growth of social media, our team has had the ability to dialogue with Max Lucado readers on a whole new level.  It has been encouraging to hear their stories of overcoming fear whether it may be facing financial ruin, fighting a difficult relationship, going into a serious surgery, figuring out how to be calm and protecting their children, etc.  It has helped our team recognize more than ever how important a message likeFearlessis to everyday people.  People are left inspired by Max Lucado.  My hope is that someday you will be able to meet Max Lucado in person. He is as geniune of a person as he is in his books.In 2010, it is Max's 25th Anniversary in publishing and he will working toward the goal of sponsoring 25,000 children through World Vision.  His book "Outlive Your Life" will help capture the spirit of service that we as Christians must embrace just as the early church did in the book of Acts.  We hope you will also be inspired by these words.  Thank you Amazon and readers for your support of Max through the years.--Dave Schroeder, Sr. Director of Marketing, Thomas Nelson Publishers--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
