Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked 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, or doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more and fear less. Can you imagine your life without fear?

"While there exists no fast fix or simple cure for the fear-bound individual, Lucado's tempered counsel and faith-driven remedies will offer day-by-day spiritual medicine of the most potent kind." (Publishers Weekly)
"Tried and True"
I enjoy Max Lucado but I found this to be replaying the standards..nothing fresh and new.
"What an eye opener... OUTSTANDING"
First of all I loved Daniel Butler (No Offense Max) He has the perfect reading voice. Thank you. The voice would could be the greatest but without awesome material it's just another story. I have One word WOW! Max Lucado is anointed. Thank you for letting our Awesome God use you. There were a lot of holes I did not know were in my belief of being fearless, This book filled a lot of those holes (if not all) with great answers. I love how the author meshes the word of God into our daily lives. One moment he's writing about some present day life, then next thing you know he's talking about Moises and how his story fits in. Incredible.
I loved this audio so much I had to get the book too and listen to it again, then fill out the small group discussion guide. (One day I'm going to take a leap of faith and do a small group on this book). I don't think that will be the last time I'll Listen to it either.
Here a couple more words to describe this book: OUTSTANDING, Awesome, enlightening, anointed, thought provoking, Bravo... I can go on and on....

"Quitessential Lucado but . . ."
I love Max Lucado's writing and heard him give parts of this book in sermon form. So I was looking forward to the audiobook. I was very disappointed with this version. While the abridgement was good,the narrator was HORRIBLE. Hands down, it was the worst reading I've ever experience -- uninspired with no discernible cadence. I wish that I'd have spent the money on the book.
"Not about fear but about the bible"
This is basically a book about the Bible and Christ. If you are a Christian, strong believing then you might like it. If you are looking for a book about overcoming fear and living to your full potential you might want to skip it.
"Content - good, narration - not"
Yes, the content was good.
Sorry, but he had the kind of voice that might narrate Dr. Seuss books..."The Grinch" comes to mind. The narration of a Christian book just did not fit his voice.
Salt. Light. Love.
"It Helps Me"
Get this book!
Each chapter deals with a different area in our lives with examples and thoughts to help us in a faith centered way.
The narrator is AWESOME! When i looked for more titles read by Daniel Butler, I was surprised I didn't find more stuff.
His voice is the perfect tone to soothe and help deal with fear in a God-inspired way. By far, this book is my fave in my collection because of the subject matter as well as a great narrator.
God can handle anything if we put our trust in Him.
fear cant the best of me if I rely on Jesus.
I am a Holy Bible Thumping, God loving, Holy Spirit following Jesus Freak.
"Awesome"
I have not read the print edition.
God is in control, not fear and Max backs it up with Scripture.
He has good emotion in his voice.
God is in control, not fear and Max backs it up with Scripture.
I love Max's witty writing style.

"Good Read"
The author deals with common fears that everyone either has dealt with, is dealing with, or will deal with (from not enough money in the bank to death). Because perfect love casts out fear, the author does a great job of drawing people to God's perfect love which removes fear.
Max has a desire to know the depths of God's love. When we love God with all of our heart, there is no room for fear.

"Not my cup of tea"
This book is not for me....I only made it partially through. I find my preachers sermons more interesting than trying to listen to this book.
