Max Lucado Quotes From His Book, Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear

What if their dreams sputter and fall from the sky? The worship of safety emasculates greatness. No wonder Jesus wages such a war against fear. His” – Max Lucado

Fear at its center is a perceived loss of control.” – Max Lucado
