Book Review: Unafraid

Unafraid
Devotions and Prayers for a Courageous Heart
by Donna K. Maltese


Barbour Books

Pub Date 01 May 2020


I am reviewing a copy of Unafraid through Barbour Publishing, Inc/Barbour Books and Netgalley:


In Unafraid we are reminded that fear can grab your throat, raise your blood pressure and negatively impacts our walk with Christ and it can effect many other areas of our life, and even our health.




We are reminded too of the importance of speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves.  As Christians we are called to be a voice to the voiceless.  Often people find it easier to listen than to speak up, but we need to speak up when it comes to people’s voices not being heard.  The Lord makes it clear that he wants to speak up on behalf of those who can’t speak for themselves.  Fear can comets anytime often when we are least expecting it, as we are going on with our day to day life, something can happen.  It is pointed out too that fear is easy to sink into.  But it is pointed out too that it is not God that gives us a spirit of fear.


In Unafraid the authors point out too that the level of calm you experience does not just depend on your trust and confidence in God, it also depends on your perspective.


The importance of discerning what information is reliable is something the authors also address, reminding us that being able to discern the truth from the panic reactions allow us to have faith instead of to fear.


We are reminded too that when we need encouragement the best place we can go is to God.  It is pointed out too that our Faith shapes our attitudes.  We are reminded too that God has a perfect timetable.


The importance of living unafraid is addressed as well.  We need to stop tip toeing around what if’s and maybe.  It is pointed out too that no matter who we are, or what we may have done in the past God can use you, and you can find courage in that.



It is important to go to God it is important that we go to God when we fear as if everyone is against us.



Unafraid is the perfect devotional for the times we live in, therefore I give it five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
