Max on Life - By Max Lucado

Max on Life - By Max Lucado
Published by Thomas Nelson Publishers
(This book was provided to me free of charge from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for my agreement to write a review on it.)
Have you ever wished you could ask Max Lucado some really tough questions? Questions like, "Why am I here?"
"What should I do when all hope seems lost?"
"Is there really a hell, and is it eternal?"
How about questions about sex and marriage? Questions on how to discipline your children?
Well, you're in luck. Even if you, like me, have never physically written him a letter or an email. Because Max's new book Max on Life answers these questions and so many more!
This book, to me, was like another version of God's Promises for Your Every Need. Max Lucado style.
In the easy to read format Max is known to us by, he answers the hard questions we desperately want answers for, and he does it all without beating us over the head with the Bible.
Oh, he uses the Bible to answer all the questions. Many different versions (which I personally loved!) But in the end you don't feel beat up or preached at. You feel the compassion I think Jesus would have portrayed.
The references had me searching my Bible more than ever. Which is what I think Max would have wanted. And I'm POSITIVE God wants me to do that.
So, thanks, Max! You drew me closer to God through your research and answers. I can't wait for your next book to come out.
