Rating: Summary: One of the Most Powerful Books I've Ever Come Across Review: All of us have faced death in one way or another. All of us have come across grief, a simple sad rainy day, or a pure agony that seems to go on for months...maybe years...Even when our bodys don't seem hurt, we all have felt our hearts, our souls, bleed...How are we freed from this? Can we ever truly be freed in this body? Not in this world, a truthful answer to both questions. Will we actually be free one day...a most definate YES! if we live in the glory and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ! Life is harsh, can be cruel, life is painful, can be sinister...oh but God...God is so glorious... He sent his Son to die for us...because he did that...we are changed... How are we to live? Are we suppose to live for just today? No! Christ will return to us someday...whether it is on our death bed...or the beautiful Rapture of the Church... Max explores our lives in living and serving for Christ...how we are able to change lives...like the idea of the butterfly whipping its wings... causing a tornado across the world... We might not be saints...But Max explains how we influence others, how we influence ourselves... how we are able to help bring people to the glory of God...how we are able to bring ourselves up to Christ so that he may say with love "Welcome Faithful Servant..." This book is so important in our lives, in our witnessing, in our private pains, in our most glorious moments...when we seem to be atop the world... It puts it all together...I thank Lord for Max, he is a hero...
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT, INTERESTING, INSIGHTFUL! Review: As always, Max Lucado as written a book that will move and inspire you. He goes into great detail, for example, about the way Jesus died. Why in the center of the two theives? Why not on their right or left? Why did one choose and one did not? Why did He have to be spit upon? Blood was the only requirement. Whenever the legalism sneaks up and begins to choke, it's so comforting to have the words penned by Pastor Lucado, encouraging and uplifting, but most of all, reminding us of JUST how much, God absolutely and unconditionally, LOVES us. My personal opinion is Max's books keep getting better and better. Don't miss this one!

Rating: Summary: Full of Christ's love for me! Review: I have just finished this wonderful book. It has shown me more fully the extent of Jesus' love and care for me. If you need to know how much Jesus loves you and wants you for His own, this is the book for you (outside of the Bible of course).
Rating: Summary: Very Comforting Review: I highly reccomend this book to everyone! Max Lucado is my favorite christian author. I recently lost my husband in a car accident & I am now a 33 yr old widow. This book was very comforting to me. My best "grief" book yet. It also tells how we should look forward to jesus' return and not be fearful. If you are afraid of death, this is a good book to read. It was very uplifting-- I will read it over and over.

Rating: Summary: Loved it! Review: I loved this book and thought it was absolutely incredible! It gives you alot to think about and all the writing is based on the Bible. I liked the fact that he used different translations. I will have to read more of his books!
Rating: Summary: When Christ Comes Review: I searched for answers after my only daughter dies on 1996. She was only 26 years old. Why,is she alright,will I see her again,etc.? I no longer ask these questions, God led my husband to buy this book about 4 weeks ago. In reading it together, we no longer question, but feel she is rejoicing with our Lord. I will always miss her and long to see her. But, today we both believe we will reunite with her on that glorious day When Christ Comes.
Rating: Summary: His "Very Best" Yet Review: I've read almost all books by Max Lucado and he outdid himself on this one. They keep getting better. Any time you want to be uplifted or need to feel closer to God, just pick up a Max Lucado masterpiece. His writing is so mellow yet his teachings are adapted perfectly from the Bible. I could write 5,000 words and not be finished. P.S. If you are a new convert to Christ, Lucado's books will help you understand lots of questions immediately!
Rating: Summary: Refreshing and inspiring Review: In his ever-fresh way, Max Lucado manages to walk the believer through the often-intimidating prophecies of the second coming while never becoming bogged down in eschatological tedium. His message is, 'You can be ready when it all goes down, and you can face it unafraid.' The book is aimed at believers; an unbeliever reading this book (?) would be left aware of his need, though I'm not quite sure he would know exactly what to do about it. For the believer, though, the book is very comforting. Hebrews 9:28 says that Jesus will return a second time for those who eagerly wait for Him. This book will help our wait be an eager one.
