Gayl C. (IUGal22) reviewed on 6/4/2006 + 17 more book reviews

Many of us struggle to be better people, but how many of us understand Jesus wants us to be just like Him? Max Lucado breaks it down for us in this book of spiritual wisdom. This book teaches or at least reminds of us of the facts of life when living in a fallen world with people who aren't alike. We learn to forgive ( not as easy as it sounds), have compassion (as a common character trait), how to listen with our heart, be focused, honest, pure, hopeful and enduring all the while keeping our eyes on Jesus the grand goal. No one will every be all things at once, but Lucado gives us the perspective not as man but as Jesus would teach if he were here in the flesh. Max Lucado is a humble man with the work of missionary seeking to bring his reader into the fold or back into it whatever the case maybe. He doesn't use criticism or dogma to break your spirit, but the same loves he professes we use toward each other. Here is a real person who wants us to have the same inner joy he has with the wisdom of the ages in one of his many books on Jesus. I learn so much more than I ever dreamed. It compliments my Bible readings not replace them. I have a new perspective in a modern view of a timeless teaching. I hope it will bring a wonderful fulfillment to your life too.
