Max on Life by Max Lucado

This question and answer book is written in the typical Lucado style. Easy to read, down to earth and yet profound. Lucado takes questions that people have asked him and answers them using scripture and sound theologial reasoning. The questions are asked by children, teens and adults. Some have a funny twist and others will make you cry. But each question is taken seriously by the author and he answers straightforwardly while compassionately giving generous portions of God's love and mercy mixed in. Lucado uses personal stories and Biblical applications to make his answers clear.

This book could be used as a devotional for a teen group or in a Bible discussion group. This book would appeal to people over a range of ages. It is not just written for one group. There are 172 questions.In the back of the book are topics with numerous Bible verses in connection with that particular topic. This way the reader can do more Biblical research are an area of concern.

I found this book comforting, informative, insightful and enriching. It made me stop and think many times over some of the questions posed. I have new thoughts now to some questions I felt I knew the answers too. Once again I am amazed at Max Lucado's gift to open up my mind and heart to God's grace.

I received this book free from the publisher through booksneeze.com. I was not required to write a positive review.
