The master of Godly writing, Max Lucado, has published another book with the help of some friends-as if he needs help! The new book titled “Max on Life” brings real life questions from real life people that the author elegantly dares to answer.There is a vast array of different heartbreaking and thoughtful questions submitted to Max for his response. Some questions include: “Does God allow war? If so, how do we reconcile his commands to love our enemies?” “I don’t like the narrow-mindedness of Christians. It is absurd to say that Jesus is the only way to Heaven.” And “Our Son (16 years old) was diagnosed with mental illness three years ago. We have prayed without ceasing for God’s healing. But healing has not come, and the atmosphere in our home is becoming increasingly tense. Should we keep praying for his healing or just accept that he will never be healed?”
Mr. Lucado is transparent in his responses about God’s love and mystery while giving raw, gut-level, honest responses to some really tough questions and statements. This book is unlike any other that I have read by the same author. It is timely and discusses some hot button topics such as homosexuality, unanswered prayer, and struggling with negative economic conditions. This book provides answers and insights for seasoned Christians and people who have no experience with Christianity.
