Review: Max on Life

Posted in Reviews

Max on Life by Max Lucado We have questions. Real, important, and challenging questions. In Max on Life, Max Lucado answers some of the thousands of questions he has received as well as some of his own questions. Max has broken down the chapter into 7 general topics: Hope Hurt Help Him/Her Home Haves/Have-Nots Hereafter These chapters include both new questions/answers as well as some questions/answers from Max’s previous books.  Max uses scripture to back up all of his answers. In typical Max Lucado style, the book mixes entertaining, fun writing with deep questions.  Most of the questions really need…
