Fearless
Imagine Your Life Without Fear
By Max Lucado
Published By Thomas Nelson

This book is about having fears and what to do about them. How to deal with your fears by changing how you think. It reminds you that our Savior Jesus is with us. That there is no fear that you and He can’t tackle and control. It also leads you to look at your former worries as learning experiences. One of my Favorite Sentences in the book is….. “When you place your faith in Christ, Christ places his Spirit before, behind, and within you.” (Page 130, Fearless by Max Lucado)

I really enjoyed this book. When I first saw the title I wasn’t really sure I wanted to read it. I don’t watch “Scary” movies. I don’t Fear the boogeyman. Uncertain as to what kind of Fear we would be learning about. I think I almost FEARED reading it. I found this book to be insightful, fresh and educational.

The way Max Lucado lays out FEARLESS is great. With Chapter Titles like “My Child Is in Danger – Fear of Not Protecting My Kids” and “There’s a Dragon in My Closet – Fear of Worst-Case Scenarios” you really get a feel of where it will lead you. The Author is wonderful about backing up his statements with Biblical truths. I also appreciated his candor and personal stories of Fear in his life.

I would recommend this book for everyone. It is a clean, easy read with a wonderful discussion guide in the back. I hope you enjoy it! I sure did.

A Different Kind of Wild
Is Your Faith TOO Tame?
By Debbie Alsdorf
Published By Revell/Baker Publishing

This book is broken apart into 3 parts.
Part I – Developing: Growing Up Spiritually
Part II – Daring: Living by a Different Standard
Part III – Determinded: Finding Courage to Follow a New Path

I really enjoyed this book. The Author moved me from Developing into Daring easily and then when I reached Part III, I was ready to be Determining. I found that each chapter was very well written and easy to read. I enjoyed the format of this book. At the end of each Chapter, Debbie Alsdorf recaps with the following headings: Look Up, Pray Up, Live Up. She also includes Questions for Reflection.

Another nice feature of this book is that it includes the Study Guide. This makes this book attractive for group Bible Studies. It is nice to have all of the resourses you need in one book, that with your Bible completes the study. For the cost of the book you can’t go wrong. As I did the study guide portion of this book I felt wholly included in Becoming a WILD Woman – WILD meaning Women In Lifelong Development.

I truly feel that no matter where you are in your walk with the Lord that this book has important messages for us all to learn. I recommend this book to all women. I am blessed to have this book in my library.
