Max Lucado: Imagine Your Life Without Fear

There are many things today that can cause us to be fearful: recession, health, war, terrorism, family, finances, the future. But what would life be like if we eliminated fear? Seem impossible? In his new book, Fearless, author Max Lucado reminds us that faith, not fear, can be our first reaction to situations. In this excerpt, the writing and preaching pastor at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio invites us to take hold of the courage Jesus offers in one of the Bible's most common phrases: Don't be afraid. Yes, it's true that fear will always be there; we just don't have to give in to it. (Click here to purchase Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear.)

When a new kid moved onto the street or walked onto the playground, Dee was the ambassador.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

—John 3:16, NKJV

This week there is only one person appropriate to spotlight: Jesus.

His Name Is Jesus, compiled from various writings by Max Lucado, is a profound look at Christ's birth, mission, death, resurrection and legacy. This compilation is not merely a book; it's a visual experience with breath-taking pictures showcasing truths that offer a new perspective on God's love and the gift of His Son. Set aside a few moments this Easter weekend to reflect anew on what Jesus Christ did for you. He loves you. And He gave His life for you.
