Life Without Fear?



Fearless by Max Lucado is another of his "Wow" reads. He's done it again. Another winner. I am glad too. I have enjoyed reading Max Lucado and l am happy when a good author continues to put out good books. So Max, thank you for another great book. This is a book that I will definitely read again and will recommend to all of my family and friends. I would recommend this book to those going through fearful times in your life or if you are an every day worrier about the littlest things.

The following words from the dust jacket give an overview of our problem with fear: "Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, fare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, and upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken a hundred year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Over sized and rude, fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors. Wouldn't it be great to walk out?"

Max speaks to common people about everyday problems. If that's you. You will like this book. There is also a discussion guide a group or single person can learn so much. After examining the discussion guide I decided that it would have been more beneficial if I had read the questions for each chapter first. Then I could have gone back and answered the questions. I did find this book to be a quick read. This would be an excellent read for those with anxiety issues. (Such as myself.)

The dust jacket encourages: "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 the day when you can trust more and fear less."

Power in the Mind

Remember when you use to lay out on the grass and guess what the clouds looked like?
Or that any ol' stick would become a rifle for a wild game of cowboys and Indians?
And how about what fantastic food we were making while doing mud pies?

Yes, a child's imagination can be a wondrous place. There dwells the closet monster and the space heroes of this world. But in a child's imagination lies a great tool. One that can help transform stress and anxiety into joy and success. That is what Charlotte Reznick, PhD is showing us how to do with her book "The Power of Your Child's Imagination".

Here we learn what tools to use and how to use them to help guide our children into a world without phobias, social anxiety and how to cope with losses and hurt, frustration and anger. I know that College Girl had many sleepless nights when she could not stop bed-wetting. The worry and fear would become overwhelming to her. Here Charlotte gives us tools to help our child with this all too common issue.

I am glad to see more and more literature coming out to help today's parents. Life is becoming more stressful and going faster every day. That means our children are dealing with life's lil problems at earlier ages. How we help them cope during these times form their skills as adults. I would suggest that you might also want to read "The Power of Your Child's Imagination" as a guide for your family.
