Eric Abel, vice president of marketing for Outreach Inc., said the "Fearless" church resources will greatly extend and deepen the impact of Lucado's book.  "We believe churches that use these materials will be able to apply the message of 'Fearless' among their own ranks, and ultimately, impact entire communities," said Abel.
