An excellent look at what has to change. In the almost two decades since this book was written, however, the trend towards a more phobic Christianity seems only to have continued.
In many ways, Fischer's work follows the formula for books of this type - lots of anecdotal stories to illustrate key points, all wrapped in mediocre writing. In other ways, he breaks new ground - hard hitting honesty! I liked it.

I bought Fearless Faith back in 2002 at a Write to Publish, the first writing conference I ever attended. Mr. Fischer was the spotlight speaker. His words fascinated me. And challenged. This book began my journey out of religion and into freedom in Jesus.

Incredibly insightful and original. Medicine to my soul. Kick in the seat of the pants.
