Book Review: Max on Life

Book Review: Max on Life by Max Lucado

Many sections of the letters St. Paul wrote to the various Churches in New Testament times were responses to questions raised by the early Christians as they attempted to work out the relationship between their new found faith and their individual or community practices. They asked the questions and Paul provided the answers.

Max Lucado applies a similar format in this new book. He has compiled 172 questions posed to him throughout his ministry, and provides answers, based not only on scriptural foundations, but also as these relate to his own experiences and observations.

You can read this book thoroughly in several sittings, but its lasting value will be for those who place it prominently on their book shelf or some other obvious place, where it can be readily available as a resource when questions need an immediate reply.

It can be utilized effectively by Church leaders, but, I suspect that those who keeps it handy as a ‘quick reference’ or a ‘do it yourself’ resource will enrich not only their own spiritual journey, but also that of others who raise questions about their Christian Faith, providing directions, tips and advice for the various situations and circumstances encountered in every day living.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
