The Lucado Inspirational Reader - Max Lucado

Hope and encouragement for your daily life. This is a collection of stories, selections and quotations from Max Lucado's previous books, such as God Came Near, Next Door Savior, Fearless, and Outlive Your Life. At over 400 pages, there is a lot of material to cover, and it is organized by subject and indexed for easy reference.
The chapters are organized alphabetically into subjects such as Comfort, Encouragement, Faith, and Peace.
The author has written so many books that it is good to have a greatest hits collection all in one volume. The reader will have the option to spend a few minutes or a few hours with this book. It is the kind of book that you may want to keep around for reference and can begin and end at any point.
Most readers of non-fiction Christian books will have read at least one of his books in the past. I would recommend this volume to those that are already familiar with Max Lucado books, as well as an introduction to those that are not.

Max on Life - Max Lucado

Answers and insights to your most important questions. This book consists of 172 questions answered bu author Max Lucado. Some material appears in prevoius books and articles. The questions are catagorized in chapters titled hope, hurt, help, home, and hereafter. The answers are honest, Bible-based, and come from many years of experience and lots of thought. They all sound like a seasoned pastor that has actually had these questions asked in email, letter, or in person and contain some very good advice to those that are struggling with these issues. Some, however, may need more than just a one page answer, and my hope is that those that need further advice would seek it out. They may need more that just reading the answer in a book to get them through a difficult time. However, good, solid, Bible-based advice is surely needed at this time and welcome. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for answers to questions they, friends or family members may have.
Fans of Max Lucado may have heard some of this advice before, but others may be reading it for the first time. Either way, it's worth the read.
