This is my favorite Max Lucado book! When I saw that it was on sale, I just had to purchase my own copy.

I love anything by Max Lucado. He is wonderful.

Please keep Max's books available not just in paper but also as ebook.

Thank you.

I confess that I love every book by Mr Lucado but this is truly my favorite........so far!

Max Lacado is my favorite author and like all the other books I've read from him I love this one also. And i love his humor

The Applause of Heaven was written in 1990 and was one of the first books Max Lucado wrote. I received the book several years ago and finished it in no time. The 200 pages are divided into 18 chapters focused on the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5. Each chapter starts with a picture representing in some way the theme or message of the chapter. A publisher's preface and a foreword by Calvin Miller are found at the start of the book while some notes and a 22-page study guide are found in the back of the book. Additionally, a list of some of the inspirational books written by Pastor Lucado is provided in the back of the book. Although Max Lucado's books are regularly on the New York Times Best Seller List, I thought The Applause of Heaven was just a fair read. Like Lucado's Cast of Characters (2008), I think The Applause of Heaven does not have a great deal of depth. I have enjoyed reading to my daughters some of the children's books that Lucado has written. The Crippled Lamb and You Are Special are two Lucado books that I can recommend.
