Youll get Through This by Max Lucado - a 5 star book!!!!

This book is a perfect example of why I love to read Lucado. He is without exception by favorite modern author. Lucado once again speaks to the masses with this book - inspiring millions at a time of economic upheaval and financial crisis on a global scale. People are afraid and do not know where to turn or if they will survive. Lucado once again, offers hope to the masses! God has gotten others through way more than any of us are living through and HE will save us too and bring us through to a good place! What do we do when something awful happens to us? We think we will never recover. I know I do. We focus on why good people do bad things. We focus on pain. Well, in this the best of all his books so far, Lucado uses the story from the Old Testament about Joseph to remind us that God will use what the devil tries to destroy to make something wonderful and powerful and fantastic - all we have to do is hold on and wait for God to do His miracle in our lives. What a powerful message of hope! Joseph was betrayed by his brothers because his father loved him most. But Joseph was gifted by God to have an understanding that was unpatrolled and he was gifted by interpretations: God had Joseph a better man. Daniel, has the same story. Daniel was taken from Judah to Babylon as a castle slave, but God gave Daniel an understanding; and Daniel was excelled above all others to third in power over all of Babylon. There is no limit to what God can do and if you don't get anything else from this book get this: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HOPELESS SITUATION IF WE TRUST IN GOD. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through the booksneeze program in exchange for writing a review of the book. That in no way earned this book a good review - Lucado's work always stands on its own merit. This like all of his other works, is a great investment!!

  1. Just saw your blog. Good people do bad things because we have never learned as James put it, Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. You are speaking truth, "there is no such things as a hopeless situation if we trust in God." Wonder why we speak this but do not believe it in our heart. I will meditate on God and his promises today. God bless you.

    1. Patsy, thank you. Hope can be the most faith challenged aspect of life. We want to have hope but somehow, our faith makes us literally hope for hope. It is hard sometimes to see that God is God of impossible things.Praise Jesus!
