No Wonder They Call Him the Savior
No Wonder They Call Him the Savior by Max Lucado
In his book No Wonder They Call Him the Savior, Lucado delves deeply into the meaning of the cross. He takes his readers through the familiar story of ChristâÂÂs crucifixion, but focusses on the small details that are so easy to breeze past and overlook, without uncovering what each little detail adds to the truth of the cross. By examining Jesusâ journey to the cross, Lucado helps us see that Jesus went through some of the same trials that we face every day and is compassionate to our needs. I received copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Great Message, easy to read, makes you think.
Max LucadoâÂÂs book, No Wonder They Call Him the Saviour is the latest gift that I received as part of the Booksneeze Bloggers. Max takes the reader on a journey to better understanding the purpose of the cross and the reason for salvation. The book starts off with someone posing the question âÂÂWhat really matters?â and Max walks through all aspects of the crucifixion and the story of Salvation. Every chapter it seems is written in a different style to keep the reader engrossed in the story. Every viewpoint of every person that played a part and was present at the crucifixion is explored.
Nothing about this book is ordinary, except for the possibility of the language that is used. I enjoyed reading the story in a plain English sense, using plain words to tell an extraordinary story. I found myself imagining myself as one of the characters of the chapter. Even though I had heard the story of the journey to the cross, and the reason for the crucifixion this story made me think time and again of all the âÂÂordinaryâ moments that occurred at the crucifixion that we often take for granted. Overall this book was a pleasure to read and I can see myself rereading it time and again.

No Wonder They Call Him the SAVIOR
This is my second book of Max Lucado's. I love his style of writing which can really strike your heart.
Scripture+Human Stories=A Great Book.
On the first day that I read this book--chapter 1-- (i miss 3 days stories in Our Daily Bread, that's why i stop & read it first), i cried so much that the book was filled of tears stain..
Why?
Because the book "No Wonder They Call Him the SAVIOR" and Our Daily Bread, got the same idea & concept.. A coincidence or must be God's plan..
I was enlightened about the CROSS.. (ItâÂÂs Words, ItâÂÂs Witnesses, & ItâÂÂs Wisdom).. Through this book, i had realized how GREAT is God that questioning Him as a Savior will be put it an end.. He truly is a Savior, and NO wonder why they call Him One.. He is so selfless that you wanted to be with Him till the end.. His disciples, people around Him (at the time He has a human body) and we, are truly blessed to meet God.
"They do not what they are doing."
We are forgiven by means of Lord Jesus Christ as he let himself to be nailed at the CROSS for our sins..
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneezeî.com <http://BookSneezeî.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review.

An Awesome Look at our Savior
No Wonder They Call Him the Savior by Max Lucado, one of his earlier books, has been republished in 2011.
It is my mission to read all of Max LucadoâÂÂs books, as I just really love his style of writing and the heart-felt, honest way that he âÂÂletsâ us as readers all be human, but challenges us to strive to be everything we were intended to be as kids of the Heavenly Father who made us. I also love that most of his books are written in small bite-sized chapters that are easily studied as in-depth as you want to go with a meaty study-guide included in the back for use if you choose.
First time through this book, I enjoyed the imagery I got from Max describing Jesus in the flesh. I took to heart the fact that Jesus was thirsty, exhausted, frustrated, angry, and joyful. I allowed myself to take a good look at the Cross: ItâÂÂs Words, ItâÂÂs Witnesses, and ItâÂÂs Wisdom (the three parts this book is divided into.) I closed my eyes, and imagined that Jesus was who the Bible says He was, as I read through the thoughts and ideas written down here in plain and simple words. I also âÂÂsawâ the disciples, his friends, and the people we know surrounded Him, wrote about Him, and who kept their promise to tell the world about Him after he was gone.
I love the mix of Scripture, Bible stories, and modern applications. I love the way things are explained, and the questions that are asked. I love the images that are brought to mind through descriptive illustrations and stories.
In 33 chapters, Max takes his readers through the life of Jesus Christ straight to the Cross, âÂÂleaving no doubt why they call him savior.âÂÂ
On my second read through this book, highlighter and zebra pen in hand, I am taking a look at some deeper hidden jewels that are in every book IâÂÂve ever read by Max Lucado. This is the part, in my opinion, that makes him a most successful author, pastor and teacher. You can read his words, ideas, interpretations, conversations, teachings, chapters, sentences, and books as a quick pick-me-up inspiration, or can take it to a deeper level, picking out the theological principles that are there in plain English.
This is definitely one of my favorites IâÂÂve read from Max Lucado, and would certainly recommend to others.
