As problems confront us, how many times will someone say thats life? From Scripture and a lifetime of experience and wisdom, Chaplain Black has written for us an excellent playbook dealing with lifes challenges.
John Boozman
US Senator (Arkansas)
I might be considered unique in that Ive been a member of the United States Senate for twenty-two years and have known Chaplain Barry Black for thirteen of those years. The application for me from this book, and from years of weekly studies with Chaplain Black, is to pursue humility and avoid self-importance two qualities not typically found in a US senator. And though the ways in which Ive been blessed by this book may not be meaningful to other people, you will find your own Fearless Principles in here that will give you the comfort and direction to lighten up, develop your God-given talents, and live fearlessly in a broken and dangerous world, placing your focus on Jesus.
James M. Inhofe
US Senator (Oklahoma)
Chaplain Barry Black has ministered to the military, to the United States Senate, and to believers and seekers everywhere. In Nothing to Fear, he speaks to a troubled and anxious time. He offers Fearless Principles designed not to eliminate the presence of fear in our humble lives, but to give us the perspective and strategies necessary to weaken the power that fear can hold over us. One theme running throughout the book and its a challenging one amid the busyness of our days is the need to simplify our lives. So much fear is created by trying to hold on to and manage what is essentially unimportant and unnecessary. Chaplain Black reminds us of what is truly important faith and prayer, family, lovingkindness. And he gently chides us why do we complicate things so much?
Tim Kaine
US Senator (Virginia)

EARL Y IN WORLD WAR II, in his first speech to the House of Commons after becoming prime minister, Winston Churchill gave members of Parliament and the British people a dose of reality: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
Have you ever felt as if youre living in a very dangerous world like a sheep among wolves? As you log on or tune in to the seemingly endless news cycles, does it seem as if the world is more threatening today than ever before, particularly for people of faith? When we hear about a racially motivated shooting at a church in South Carolina, the rise of Islamic State across the Middle East, the beheading of Egyptian Christians, the attacks on Christians in New Delhi, the aggressive proselytizing effort of the new atheism, or the drifting of nations from their spiritual moorings, its easy to feel as if things are spiraling out of control. We also see how distorted theology has been used to justify wars, racial inequality, and premeditated pathology, enslaving people instead of liberating them. People of faith worldwide seem to be experiencing unprecedented levels of discrimination and oppression.
But didnt he also say, Take heart, because I have overcome the world? Are you prepared to live fearlessly in a threatening world?
This book is intended to help you stay fearless by following seven principles that Jesus gave his disciples before sending them into a dangerous world:
- Prepare to be sent (Matthew 10:1; Luke 10:1).
- Do a reality check (Matthew 9:37-38; Luke 10:2-3).
- Thrive in a predatory world (Matthew 10:16-20; Luke 10:3).
- Be as wise as a serpent (Matthew 10:16).
- Be as innocent as a dove (Matthew 10:16).
- Concentrate on the task (Matthew 10:5-8).
- Persevere through rejection (Matthew 10:11-14, 21-23; Luke 10:8-12).
These principles are as relevant in todays world as they were when first written nearly two thousand years ago. They have provided generations with the courage needed to walk fearlessly in dangerous surroundings. They have helped many to avoid the common pitfalls of life and become more productive. They have strengthened marriages and friendships, provided wisdom for parents, and supplied the power to break addictions. They have salvaged the lives of people who were living on the edge, providing a lamp to guide their feet and a light to illumine their path.
As you learn and practice these precepts, you will develop the ability to remain fearless amid the storms of life, survive adversity, and even thrive in a threatening world.
