Imagine living in the Garden of Eden. Everything is perfect, right? And yet...
"Eve was afraid," Max Lucado tells us. "Some say she was pride filled, defiant, disobedient . . . but wasn’t she first afraid? Afraid that God was holding out, that she was missing out? Afraid Eden wasn’t enough? Afraid God wasn’t enough? Afraid God couldn’t deliver?"
We've been afraid ever since—and we're certainly not living in Eden. What are you afraid of? Global crisis? Overwhelming challenges? Not protecting your kids? Disappointing God? On the face of it, there is much to be afraid of. And yet...
Jesus tells us, "Don't be afraid." (Luke 12:7) Easier said than done, maybe, but Max offers compelling stories, comforting Scriptures, and the calm assurance that we, too, can be Fearless.
