Max on Life.... book review

“Max on Life” by Max Lucado was offered for me to review through Booksneeze.com. This book was an easy read and it was a good book to have around when I only had a short time to read. Hope and love resonate throughout this book and it’s clear that Max is truly a gifted spiritual writer.

I loved the letter from a young child, Sam, to Max. Sam is terribly sorry about pulling the fire alarm after one of Max’s church services. The open honesty and pureness of an innocent child rings (no pun intended) loudly and clearly. I can only imagine how hard it was for that small child to sit down, write that note and send it. It is much like how we feel about God. We are sorry for our actions, but it takes a lot of courage to ask for forgiveness. God will always forgive and many times it is hard to remember that. We get caught up in our own fears and disappointments and forget we have a truly loving God who cares deeply about us. He’s crazy about us!

Max reminds us that no matter what your age, you will always have questions, ask for forgiveness and receive grace.
