Max Lucado is the reason hard copies of books may never go out of style. When I read his books, I always want to read with a highlighter because I don’t want to forget anything he has to say. I want to savor every morsel because his words feed my soul in ways no other living author has. Lucado is certainly an important voice of our day, a prophet of our times, and I enjoy letting his words pour like smooth melted chocolate into my hungry soul.
Not that the wisdom in the pages of this book is candy. It’s not. I’ve been a Christian for nearly 40 years, and by reading this book, I realized there are pockets of fear in my life that I’ve failed to recognize. These words are meat, milk and honey to a weary soul living in troubled times.
Besides being a great messenger, Lucado has a beautiful voice as a writer, and every Christian writer should read his work.
I give this book five stars because it fed me, and it made me laugh and cry. I give it five stars because it challenged me to get to a better place in my faith walk with Jesus. It is full of hope, and I could use some of that right now!
