What can I say - Max Lucado had written another amazing book. It is also great to read because of the way it is broken up. If you have to put it down for a few day it doesn't matter. Thanks Max!

I absolutely love this book! This is the first Max Lucado book I have ever read and I am so glad I did. The way the stories are put in today's time made the Bible so much more understandable. This book is worth the price and worth the time.

Once again I am awed at the way Max brings the Bible to our every day lives. A quote about Sari, "I bet she is the only woman to ever pay her pediatrician with a Social Security check". Max is the only one to think of that and it makes the story really memorable.

I love Max's books, but this wasn't what I expected. The style of reading didn't capture my attention. However, the real truth of all of us is there for sure.
