Max on Life- Max Lucado

What a cup of tea this book has been. This book is filled with questions and answers on many different topics. Some are serious, some are fun. Lucado answers the questions candidly and gives Biblical truths on each. There are so many different topics, and the book is broken down into 7 headings: Hope, Hurt, Help, Him/Her, Home, Haves/Have Nots, Hereafter.


The amazing thing to me is that Lucado never fails to deliver and always offer true Biblical answers and gives many verses for reference. There is an appendix at the end of the book and it is broken down into various topics so that you can easily find the answers by topics. Also featured is The Lucado Reader’s Guide, which gives various highlighted topics and gives the core scripture to read to provide insight to the topic.

I enjoyed the journey of reading this book, and quite honestly, every Lucado book has been an adventure and a true treasure to read and enjoy. I would recommend this as a staple in any Christian’s book collection as it can be a quick point of reference for one of the world’s most popular and most God-driven individuals of our time. You will not be disappointed with this one.

OUT LIVE YOUR LIFE – MAX LUCADO

What another wonderfully beautifully written book by Lucado. This takes you on a journey again, and it gives you fuel to love and live a life that truly makes a difference in the lives of others and all while serving God.


The chapters are broken down to a few pages each. Each chapter begins with a strong Bible Verse. For example Chapter 8, entitled “Persecution: Prepare for it, Resist it,” begins with quoting Acts 4: 1: The Priest, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them. Then the chapter takes you in to examples, real life and often Biblically. At the end of the chapter there is another verse and a prayer. Each chapter has the same format and has great, relatable examples.

One of the things that I love the most about the book is the discussion questions at the end of the book. This is a highlight for me, as the leader of a book club. This is an ideal book for any book club. This is a book that challenges you and makes you think. I love the use of scripture and Lucado writes well and never has disappointed me yet. I highly recommend this one, you will not be disappointed!

Cast of Characters Book Review

Max Lucado has really set the stage for a God experience with his book Cast of Characters. The book goes through several well-known, and some not so well known characters in the greatest book of all-time, the Bible. I absolutely love Lucado’s use of making the Biblical characters relatable, even bringing some of them in to our time.

One of my favorite passages throughout the book is the chapter entitled, “The Privilege of Paupers”. This passage gives the example of a being a bachelor at potlucks. Then it relates the experience to a Biblical character named Mephibosheth. I love how the book mentioned in this chapter how “fear not” is listed in EVERY book of the Bible.

This book takes you on an amazing journey and I would encourage any Biblical scholar or anyone who has a hard time relating the Bible to our time to pick this book up and try it out for yourself. There are plenty of great characters to get a spin on and learn more about. There are scripture examples and so much more. I do not think you will be disappointed, and you may learn a thing or two about yourself and God. This book by Lucado is truly a page turner.
