Book Review: Just Like Jesus Devotional

Just Like Jesus Devotional: LadyD Books

 About The Book:

God wants to give you a heart just like Jesus.
Jesus felt no guilt; God wants you to feel no guilt.
Jesus had no bad habits; God wants to do away with yours.
Jesus had no fears; God wants the same for you.
Jesus had no anxiety about death; you needn't either.

My Review

I felt a need to grow deeper in my faith and this special devotional showed me my need to have a listening heart. If you want more of God in your life, then you'll really want to get to know Him, by listening and praying to Him. The more I read, I began to see that my nature and heart responses were not always like the heart of Jesus but I wanted it to be so. The confidence and hope I gained through this study (daily spending more time with God), is that He promises to change me completely to be like Him, when I will be in His presence one day. In the meantime, as a worshiper, He changes our faces through worship and He changes those who watch us worship. I love this part. I highly recommend "a thirty day walk" for a personal study and a deeper awareness to be like Christ.

About The Author

In just under two decades of writing, Max Lucado has accomplished more than most writers hope for in a lifetime. Most of his books have appeared on one or more best seller lists, including those published by the "New York Times," "USA Today," "Publishers Weekly," and the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA). Aside from hardcover books, Lucado's writings have also been published as children's books, videos, CD-ROMs, DVDs, music CDs, mass paperback booklets, apparel, giftware, bookmarks, calendars, study Bibles, workbooks, curricula, and plush products. In spring 2003, Hallmark/Dayspring Cards launched a new gift card line featuring excerpts from Lucado's writings--and has already sold more than one million cards.


Additional Readings

As many of you know, Max Lucado is one of my favorite authors. His writings are so warm and personable. His children's books are favored in our family and fill our bookshelves abundantly. Do you have a favorite of his? In case you are not acquainted with Max and have the time, here are some previous book reviews of mine posted awhile back from the same, wonderful author.

Swami's By The Sea

Swami's Encinitas, California: LadyD Books

Along the old coastline, Hwy. #101 is a famous surfing spot called Swami's Beach and Sea Cliff Park in Encinitas, California. It sits border line to Cardiff By The Sea.  It is a local hot spot for surfers (it's huge) and local residents. Nearby, is the Self Realization Fellowship.

Photos for Skywatch Friday  You can see why the surfers love to come here, to try and catch the perfect wave under a beautiful So Cal sky.

Farther up the coastline is a popular beach for families that has access to the playground, the pier, restaurants, etc. I find the beach so relaxing, don't you? It's a wonderful place to let go of the cares of the day.... and just breathe. When was the last time you went down to the sand and played? You know, just felt like being creative and getting all messy with the sand and the water? Do you like the feel of your feet in the sand? My daughter and granddaughter are huge fans of California beaches!

My entry for the meme, The Friday 56

"The ocean is a favorite place of mine. I love to listen to sounds that only the waves can make. I walk miles along the shoreline leaving my footprints in the sand, which are then invaded by an endless ebb and flow of the tide. These moments bring an unspeakable calm. I can see with a clear mind and heart all the ways God has held my life and walked me through the violent storms to bring to a restful place." -- Kathy Troccoli

Whenever the grandbabies and I return from an outing at sea, after we shower off, it's time for snacks, of course and then to snuggle with a book. Here are some earlier posts of a few of my reviews for children's books about the sea:
