Max on Life by Max Lucado

Hope. Hurt. Help. Boy/Girl Issues. Home. Have and Have Not. The Hereafter. Big issues that cause us big questions that need big answers from God.

Max on Life is Max Lucado's latest offering to the world of godly advice. This question and answer format gives his best answers to the questions asked most often. He takes his answers from Scripture, from personal experience and from his experiences as a pastor. This book takes issues from each part of life that causes our hearts to wonder, questions that “leave us… burdened and weary.”

This book categorizes the questions Max answers into specific topics and while reading through the whole book in a sitting can seem repetitive, for anyone seeking answers to these kinds of questions, the book is wonderfully informative and extremely helpful. The answers are scripturally based, and Mr. Lucado knows that people are in need of the answers that God can give through his Word.

I know that, though I do not struggle with many of the issues presented in this book, I have friends who struggle deeply with these questions. They hurt, they are weary, they do not know what to do next. Sometimes I do not know how to help them. The answers Max Lucado provides in this book give me more words to give to those friends. It allows me a resource to help them. It is helpful to me in this way and helpful to them at the same time. I know that I will remember this book as I go through life and work to help friends or face these issues myself. And, I know I will be able to return to these pages and the Book that they point back to, the Bible for help for so many deep, heavy questions that are contained in this book.
