Like so many others, I have always enjoyed the writings of Max Lucado. He has a way of making deep spiritual truths relevant and easy to understand. He speaks and he writes with the heart of a pastor, even with the heart of Jesus, with an obvious desire to see people know and understand all the wonders of God's glory and love. He uses storytelling and short chapters to make his points, which makes his books easy, even fun, to read. True to form, Max on Life is a collection of stories, in the form of readers' questions, covering 172 topics from "Who is God?" to "Why me?" to "Is this wrong?" Many are age-old questions, but many are questions that the church often avoids talking about because the questions are awkward or uncomfortable. This book is written for those who are hungering for answers to life's difficult questions and those who are trying to figure out how to apply God's Word in their everyday lives. My only criticism is the title and cover...I love Max Lucado and would pick this book because of him, but there are many who would really benefit from reading it, but will never pick it up because they don't know who Max is. I would hope that they may release a new edition someday with a different title and cover to broaden the appeal to those unfamiliar with his work.
