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: 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: 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.
Rating: Summary: The Second Coming Review: Max Lucado gives an easy-to-understand explanation of the Second Coming of Christ in this book. He uses Scripture, along with examples from everyday life, to show what it will be like. He advises the reader on what his attitude should be while "waiting forwardly" for Christ. He tells us what Scripture means when it says we will be raised to Heaven at our death and will be given a new body when Christ returns. He tells us about the difference between being saved and then about appearing before God on Judgment Day. He emphasizes God's grace and the defeat of Satan. This is a clear and concise book which will give the Christian a positive feeling about the Second Coming.

Rating: Summary: Easy Reading Review: Max Lucado makes reading about the Lord simple and understandable. When you are overwhelmed with trying to figure out where to go from here, he provides analogies, stories and anecdotes to make things more clear. Its kind of like, without being sacriligious, the Bible-lite.
Rating: Summary: Easy Reading Review: This book is FANTASTIC! I have just begun to read Max's books and love his style! You come away feeling like you've grasped the truths from the Bible without having to "study" per se. THIS book is especially good for those who really struggle with the details of Christ's second coming--I was a Jehovah's Witness several years ago and was really struggling with what was God's truth and what I was taught as a member of that cult. This book helped me to break free from the false teachings!
Rating: Summary: excellent read Review: This book talks about what happens after we die and when Christ comes, our new spiritual bodies we'll recieve, and more.
