I have really grown to appreciate Max Lucado’s writings and his heart behind the books. This newest book of his, “Max on Life”, is my third book of his that I have read. He comes across as a lifelong neighbor or friend, one that genuinely cares. Whereas Mr. Lucado’s “parables” that he interjects seemingly constantly to prove his point used to annoy me, I find that I have softened a bit. Mr. Lucado does have depthness, and truly he is divinely inspired.
“Max on Life” is a collection of questions that have been asked to Mr. Lucado over the years. His insight into people’s minds and thoughts are spot on, in my opinion. And he backs up his answers with scripture. Note: there’s a handy Scripture Index and Topical Index for easy reference at the back of the book, which is an awesome tool! The book is an easy read, one that you can put down and pick back up without a break in thought. It also covers a gamut of topics (all starting with the letter “H” – how fun!): Hope, Hurt, Help, Him/Her, Home, Have/Have-Nots, and Hereafter. It is clear that Mr. Lucado has a Heart for the people, and the questions asked are not burdensome, but taken as an opportunity. I would recommend this book.
I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program.
