Author Max Lucado believes "Fearless" has an important message for the church: "I hope that churches can band together to become an army of courage to enlist others to focus on God, not on fear. By supporting, encouraging and loving one another, we are prepared to be bold witnesses to the world."
Eric Abel, vice president of marketing for Outreach Inc., said the "Fearless" church resources will greatly extend and deepen the impact of Lucado's book. "We believe churches that use these materials will be able to apply the message of 'Fearless' among their own ranks, and ultimately, impact entire communities," said Abel.
