Max on Life: Answers and Insights to Your Most Important Questions by Max Lucado

Max on Life is a 254 page book (including Scripture index) filled with 172 questions. The book is divided into 7 basic sections titled Hope, Hurt, Help, Him/Her, Home, Haves/Have Nots and Hereafter. There’s a new question and answer on nearly every page. There are also some photo copies of actual notes that Max has written people. I love Max Lucado books so much and this book did not disappoint! He is very straightforward with his answers and always backs his beliefs with scripture. I really love that this book has such a wide range of questions. In addition to the typical questions Pastors are asked, Max has included some very personal, very atypical questions. For example one person asked Max “What sexual items and activities are acceptable to God? Negligees? Body Oils? Engaging in specific activities, using sensual language, and watching stimulating movies? What does God prohibit and permit?”.  This may be a question that many couples have but it isn’t something that a lot of pastors are comfortable answering and probably isn’t something that people are comfortable talking about with someone that they have to see every Sunday.

The back of the book has a scripture index but I love that Max quotes scriptures directly in all of his answers. Max has a way of telling a story and getting a point across that a lot of Pastors just aren’t blessed with. I am so happy that I will have this book to refer to when I have life questions and I would DEFINITELY recommend this book to a friend. I honestly think that this book would be a good tool for any Christian, in any season of their walk with Christ.
