I just finished reading another great book by Max Lucado (I just love him!) and he answers some difficult questions in his writings. This book is a bit different from so many others of his that I have read. Yet, this author heralds truth and a great perspective to have on some of life's issues.
On Fridays I participate in a weekly meme and here's an excerpt from the book:
Page 56:
"The Greek word for worry, merimnao, stems from the verb merizo (divide) and nous (mind). Worry cleavers the mind, splitting thoughts between today and tomorrow."Max On Life: Answers and Insights to Your Most Important Questions

My Thoughts:
This is a very encouraging book for everyone. The special writings of Max Lucado's newest book, Max On Life, offer Bible-based responses to many questions we have in our own life. Questions about disciplining kids, special needs children, struggling marriages, sex, work, and finances. The one hundred fifty questions are conveniently indexed by topic and scripture to allow quick access as a reference resource. If you are looking for someone who is in your corner no matter how you perform, I think meditating on the answers in this book will reveal the Father's heart for hikers and bikers, and the cowboys and rednecks because God loves all people. Look around and ask God to show you his beautiful work of diversity all around you. His grace will give you rest and answers to some of your hard questions tugging on your heart. 5 * book and special gift book!
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of Max on Life through Book Sneeze, in exchange for my honest review.
