Review of Max on Life


Max on Life
Answers and Insights to Our Most Important Questions
By: Max Lucado
Reviewed by Pat Beaty

When you first read the title of this book, I’m sure your reaction will be similar to that of many other believers – “What a vain, egotistical effort this work must be!!” However, trust me, you will be pleasantly surprised as you peruse the multifaceted questions and biblically based answers in this truly worthwhile resource.  It is written in the inimitable easy to comprehend style of this author, who is familiar to us all, and it is a GEM!  It caused me to stop and thoughtfully consider each question and answer.  I’m sure that you, too, will enjoy reading slowly through this wonderful writing.  You will be drawn into this reading experience if you merely read the table of contents. This I can promise you.

You will be introduced to some of the most beautiful happenings and thoughts in the Word of God:  “God loves the tapestry of the nations.  He has a white hot passion to harvest his children from every jungle, neighborhood, village, and slum.” “All the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord” (Numbers 14:21 ESV).

One of my favorite sections is under “Help: Prayer, Scripture, and Why Church?”  The author says “prayer pushes us through life’s slumps, propels us over the humps, and pulls us out of the dumps.”

Your reviewer hopes it does this for you too!
