Beyond Heaven's Door by Max Lucado

You can NEVER go wrong with Lucado, and this book does not disappoint. It is an easy one day read. Hard bound and lovely, in gift book formatting. The book is broken down into 20 easy reader chapters. The feel for the book is this: since the sacrifice of Jesus, we no longer have to go to the temple to be with God because when we accept salvation, God sends the Holy Spirit into us. We become one with God, we become like a bag toting God around (ok, thats not an ideal metaphor). Lucado emphaes that we should remember that we are carrying God around with us. We should talk to God and act like He is with us. We are saits acting like criminals and hoping noone will know. We hunt excuses and blame our selves for our short comings and cheat God out of His glory. Lucado is inspirational as always and pulls people back to the good news with hope. If you are a little down, this is a great read and inspiration. You can never go wrong with a Lucado book.
