Max Lucado is a great story teller. This is a wonderful book of faith, with many Bible influences intermingled with life stories. Max uses his sense of humor, along with a very serious side. The different titles of each chapter are very interesting. This is an introduction of hope and encouragement. The reminder that God knows our name
I would highly recommend this book. It has so many good Christian scriptures and Max follows them by stories that fit the scriptures. He talks about Jesus going to the wedding at Cana and why did Jesus go to a party! You will find the answer to that in this book!
He talks about the angel Gabriel who was to tell Mary that she was to become the mother of Jesus. A very interesting story of how the angel felt. The fears and questions he had. That story has been told many times, but not exactly in this way!
There is a chapter called "A Sack of Stones". A very good chapter. Who wants to carry around a sack of stones! After reading this chapter, one will stop and think about do I really carry a sack of stones? Maybe it will be a "life-changing chapter".
There is an interview with Moses and the Holyland Press. And the book goes on and on with such interesting stories and scriptures. It is a well-written book. Once you have read it, you just may want to read it again and maybe again.
