Just Like Jesus Author:Max Lucado Where did we get this idea that we can't change? From whence come statements such as, "It's just my nature to worry." "I'll always be pessimistic. I'm just that way." "I can't help the way I react. I have a bad temper." Such thoughts are not from God. He can no more leave a life unchanged than a mother can leave a tear untouched. His plan for yo... more »u is nothing short of a new heart. If you were a car, God would want control of your engine. If you were a computer, God would claim the software and the hard drive. If you were an airplane, He'd take His seat in the cockpit. But you are a person, so God wants to change your heart. Max Lucado tells how God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you there. He wants you to have a heart like His. He wants you to be Just Like Jesus.« less
I think this is one of the best books ever written. It will bring you to tears and to laughter throughout the book, I couldn't put it down. Mr. Lucado brings Jesus into the same room with you. I give it 5 stars.
Max Lucado is one of my favorite Christian writers. This book only lends more energy to that claim. I believe that a non-believer could comfortably read this book. It makes a statement that seems to have been lost over time. Afterall aren't we as Christians suposed to treat the world like Jesus did, with love and understanding. This book lays out some very poignant ideas for making that happen in our daily lives. Great read, try it, you might like it.
Max Lucado has a unique ability to make scripture & scriptural themes very understandable. He writes, simply, yet consisely and shares the truth. A quick read that you will want to read again & again
