Sadie Robertson's message to today's young women is truly one they need to hear. Both of my daughters, ages 15 and 19 LOVED the book, going so far as to assembling a group of friends for a book study. Given the fact that neither of my girls are avid readers, it speaks volumes for the quality and importance of this book's message.

I like the way this book is set up and found it well written. It is very personable. It is not overly religious if you are concerned, but beautifully incorporates scriptures and Godly thoughts throughout. I felt it was an uplifting read. If you feel something in your life you want to overcome this focuses on fear, but it would be worth reading this book if wanting to find ideas for overcoming many things, I think. She presents her personal stories and some exercise to help readers find more positive approaches to our negative thoughts or actions. You find encouragement through times of struggle. It is one of those books I enjoy reading a little a day like a little uplifting and helpful talk with a friend. It is a good book for youth and adults alike.

I think every young person should read this book. Sadie takes us through her struggle with anxiety and fear. She shows you how she deals with it and lets the reader know that it is ok. She gives you practical ways to do battle with your anxiety.

Pick up this book!

Thank you @netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

I have been struggling with fear, anxiety, and depression for quite a while. I picked up this book without a whole lot of belief that it would help much. I mean, what help could this young woman be to me. Turns out, a lot! I read this book at the right time in my life. Sadie is so inspirational. I encourage all girls to read this book at least one way in their life.

my blurb!
A look at the life of the girl you might recognize from Duck Dynasty, the fear she lived in, and how she daily tries to overcome it.

3 out of 5 stars
what i liked
Sadie is very likable. You don’t read the book and think about how far out of touch she is with being a human.
She lived in a lot of fear – I mean it blew my mind. And it was amazing to me that she was willing to share those struggles so readily with her readers!
The chapter’s end with reflections to help you progress in your own struggle(s) with fear! It wasn’t crazy cheesy or anything like that- so big pro there!
Definitely the word I would use to describe this book the most is genuine. Sadie comes across super genuine and it makes you realize how little you knew her when watching the “reality” show she was on!
This girl is so in love with God. It is amazing to read about and is really inspiring to me as a reader!

what i didn't like
Very quickly into this book I realized that I was not the target audience. I don’t think I realized that people did live in this high level of fear and anxiety. It made me almost feel better about my issues with spiders and heights! Not a knock on fearful people or the book- it just didn’t make me want to fly through reading it.

I received this book from Netgalley for free in exchange for my honest review which was not required to be positive.

Happy Reading,
Dux

Great perspective from a millennial who is shining for Jesus. I liked her style of writing and the stories that she shared. Nice to see young people who are stepping up and living for God.

In a world of self love and self hate, it's truly refreshing to read about living God's way, rather than trying to be self fulfilling. Living for God and stepping out of your comfort zone can have lifelong effects on your self esteem as well as the world as a whole. I loved reading this and will recommend it to everyone! Not just a book for today, but for Christians, to find true purpose.

After receiving access to read Luve Fearless by Sadie Robertson I read it and it is a very inspiring story. It is a must read for teens as well as everyone else. It tells you or teaches you how to live your life for yourself and not what you think others think of you. To live a life you can be proud of and and inspiration to others. It teaches you that no matter what you are going thru there is someone there for you and that you are here for a reason even if you can't see it in your current situation. If teaches you to seek or find your path thru the WORD not the WORLD!

“When we’re afraid, we have a tendency to pray and ask God for peace before we’ll step out and do what frightens us. But most of the time, we simply need to move forward. “ -Live Fearless by Sadie Robertson

I give this book 5/5 stars. My favorite book I read so far this year. If you feel like you are stuck, living in fear, faithless, or confused this book is for you. It will have you looking at yourself and getting to the bottom of what is holding you back from going after everything God has for you and more. Today is the day you need to take the first step into walking into the freedom God has for you. Do not let fear keep you in bondage. Make the first move.

Sadie Robertson is an inspiring and encouraging woman of God! I recommend this book wether you're a follower of the Lord or not, because this is what everyone in our stressed out society needs to hear: Do not be afraid. Live fearlessly! Thank you for this incredible book Sadie!

My thanks to Sadie Robertson, NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I want to start by saying this review does not reflect on the author’s writing but my own silliness of not thoroughly reading the synopsis of this book. I requested this book via NetGalley as one of my first reads joining NetGalley. I skimmed over the synopsis and requested the book believing it was a self-help book.
While this book is a self-help book, it’s extremely religious and its main foundation is based on God, verses, praying, and how to apply this to your everyday life. I am not religious not even remotely. So trying to read this book made me uneasy and I simply couldn’t continue. I assumed this book would be mainly revolved around how to cope with anxiety, mental illnesses, society, etc.
I read inspirational books quite often because I like exploring different people’s opinions and guides on how to live a fuller and happier life but not being remotely acquainted with Sadie Robertson and her journey or works before this book, was another set-back.
Bottom line, my review is mainly based on being uncomfortable with religion and Christianity. If non-fiction religious books are your thing, I suppose you will enjoy it.

POWERFUL & LIFE CHANGING !!

Sadie Robertson, who is a speaker and once a contestant in Dancing with the Stars, writes about breaking out and living fearlessly in this book. Giving pointers and life examples, she encourages the reader to see life from a different point of view. This book also tackles every aspect of fear that leaves you in a place for no excuses but to admit you need help. This is where Sadie brings in the Word of God that the reader may find hope and redemption.

I love how Sadie writes the book and explain things so simply, it changes the reader's paradigm. Though this book encourages a changed life, it doesn't promise one because it is all up to the reader to practice it. Without us doing something to change it on our part, we will not see a change and live a fearless life.

I urge everyone to read this book whether you are a Christian or not because it speaks truth. And to quote the bible, "the Truth will set us free".

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Speciality Division (children's & gift books) through NetGalley in return for a honest review.

Wow. I didn't go into this book with many expectations, but I LOVED it. It's written beautifully, movingly, and even wittily. I haven't watched much Duck Dynasty, so I don't 'know' Sadie Robertson like a lot of Americans do, but after reading this book I'd love to meet her! There's such good, Biblical advice in this book about how to live fearlessly in a frightening world. Highly inspiring and highly recommended.

Live Fearless by Sadie Robertson has a truly powerful message about tackling the issues of fear, worry, and anxiety. Sadie talks about her personal issues with fear and how it has been a stumbling block in her life. Sadie depicts a very honest picture of how her fear made her feel.

Sadie also speaks honestly about how her faith and belief in the Lord enabled her to go through the journey to overcome her fears. Sadie gives all the glory and praise to the Lord for guiding her through this journey and encourages others to do the same. Sadie’s faith is truly inspiring.

I recommend this book to young adults and even to adults. Sadie’s journey in overcoming the obstacle of fear is relatable and inspirational. Sadie’s faith walk is genuine and her clear message that the Lord is with us always, championing our struggles is very comforting and true. Sadie is a true inspiration of faith in action.

Live FEARLESSLY

Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise” (NLT).

COME ON!!!! I definitely recommend this book to all the ladies out there. Sadie is very inspirational.

Sadie Robertson is a class act. She may be young but she is an example of what a lady should be....especially a Christian young lady. The Robertson family became familiar and beloved to me when my little grandson asked me if we could watch Duck Dynasty. I asked if that was a cartoon. He told me that they were a bunch of people who talk funny and hunt ducks down in the swamp. How cute. I later laughingly told him that he was responsible for my addiction to Duck Dynasty.
This book is perfect for young women who are searching for the answer to healing them from their anxiety. Having watched Sadie on Duck Dynasty and movies she appeared in, I never would have thought that she suffered from anxiety.
I highly recommend this book to teens and women in their 20's.
I am giving this book 5 stars.

Well written and a book I would definitely recommend to young adults. I did not grow up with fear myself but a lot of my friends did and this helped me to understand their perspective a bit more. Well written with a great message!
