Being courageous and fearless doesn’t mean you’re not scared, worried, panicky, or wishing you didn’t have to do what needs to be done. It simply means that you’re feeling scared, worried, panicky, wishing you didn’t have to do what needs to be done, and then doing it anyway. That takes guts!

As you’ll discover in these pages, people who choose courage over fear end up learning valuable lessons, too. Their experiences actually make their faith in God stronger and give them power to deal with life’s dangerous and sometimes unfair challenges—both large and small. It’s true! Because, with God on their side, they actually fear less.

Throughout the book, you’ll also find some “Be Fearless” pages sprinkled in. They may help you grow your own personal brand of courage. That way, you’ll be ready to show others how to experience less fear and to be courageous kids!
