Fearless

"Fearless: The Undaunted Couage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown" by Eric Blehm showed me the importance of praying for all of our soldiers and their families and giving them support and encouragement.

This book was not what I expected.  It was much better and I did not want to put it down.  One of my favorite things about the book is how Adam's family wanted to be honest and real and tell his whole story.  Sharing Adam's failures and struggles can only serve to help others and show them that we can overcome the bondages of life and be free to pursue the things God made for us to do in this world.

Seeing Adam persevere through the challenges and never see anything as a set-back, but as things that could be and would be conquered was encouraging.  We need more Adam Brown's in this world -- men who don't give up, men who seek the Lord and then live out their faith.

I loved getting to know Adam's family and also his Navy Seal friends.  This book is written as an honest, real, and raw account of Adam's life.  You cannot just page through this book or you will find shocking descriptions and not understand them, you will find vulgar language (bleeped) and will not understand the context.  So either read the whole book or none at all.  This story is well worth reading and shows that one life following the Lord Jesus can be lived "fearless".

Thanks you Waterbrook Multnomah for providing Fearless  free of charge by Waterbrook Multnomah for review purposes.  If this would not have provided I may never have read it and would have missed reading one of the best books of 2012.
