We have questions. Child-like inquiries. And deep, heavy ones.
In more than twenty-five years of writing and ministry, Max Lucado has been the receiving line for thousands of such questions. The questions come in letters, e-mails, even on Dunkin Donuts napkins. In Max on Life he offers thoughtful answers to more than 150 of the most pressing questions on topics ranging from hope to hurt, from home to the hereafter.
Max writes about the role of prayer, the purpose of pain, and the reason for our ultimate hope. He responds to the day-to-day questions—parenting quandaries, financial challenges, difficult relationships—as well as to the profound: Is God really listening?
A special addendum includes Max’s advice on writing and publishing.
Including topical and scriptural indexes and filled with classic Lucado encouragement and insight, Max on Life will quickly become a favorite resource for pastors and ministry leaders as well as new and mature believers.
Max on Life is Pure Max Lucado reading enjoyment.
If you’ve read any of Max’s previous books over the last 25 years, this review is a no brainer. I read that his products have sold over 100 million. Read that again. He’s far from a one hit wonder and it’s no surprise why his books endured over the years. Max on Life is a must have because it involves Max at what he does best and it involves you, so to speak.
Max on Life takes questions Max received over the years from readers and church families and he answers them in the point you to the Cross and show you the Bible in a sweet, refreshing way as only Max can.
Topics include:
Hope: God, Grace and “Why am I Here?”
Hurt: Conflicts, Calamities and “Why me?”
Help: Prayer, Scripture and “Why church?”
Him/Her: S*x, romance, and “Any chance of a second chance?”
Home: Diapers, disagreements, and “Any hope for prodigals?”
Have’s/Have Nots: Work, money and “Where’s the Lifeline?”
Hereafter: Cemetaries, heaven, hell and “Who Goes Where?”
Max also includes an Addendum from questions he’s received over the years regarding writing and publishing.
I enjoyed this book, how could I not? There are 171 questions addressing everything you can think of. Max’s answers are just as you would expect: Biblical, grace-full, and wise.
Treat yourself and treat others with Max on Life. You’ll be glad you did.

TOTAL SURRENDER By Cynthia Roemer I’ve always been inspired by those who are willing to give their all for the cause of Christ.—missionaries who give up home and family to live in foreign lands in less than comfortable places, men, women, even children who stand by their convictions regardless of the consequences. These people have…
It’s a new year, time to work on those goals, themes, and for some, resolutions. But for too many, it’s a time to not just look back, but stare and wish for the clock to turn back and stay there. If you’re here today, it isn’t by accident. Every Sunday I share a thought or…
I have to admit that when it comes to thankfulness, I am not the poster child God would use. I often fail to rest in thanksgiving for all that He has bestowed. Oh, my. Every breath I take comes from Him. As I look over the last year, I find that I am most thankful…
