Review of Max on Life

I was thrilled when Thomas Nelson announced they were releasing a new Max Lucado book. I was initially introduced to Lucado only a short while ago when Outlive Your Life was published, and I fell in love with his writings immediately. In his newest book, Max on Life, Lucado tackles some major life and spiritual questions that he has received over the years concerning issues such as love, death, grief, and the list goes on and on. With his relatable writing style and profound wisdom on a large variety of topics, Lucado definitely does not disappoint.

Max Lucado is the only author I have ever read who literally makes me read his books with a highlighter pen in hand so that I can go back and read certain special quotes over again and share them with others. Highly recommended author and book!

I received this book for free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as a part of their book review program. I was not required to write a positive review; my opinions, therefore, are completely unbiased.

Review of The Final Summit

I must confess that I was drawn to this book immediately without really knowing much of what it was about – I hadn't read Andrews' previous book, “The Traveler's Gift,” but I thought I would give the book a try anyway. The premise of the book is a fascinating one; seventy-four year old David Ponder is asked to discover the solution that will save humanity. His help for the task are the likes of Winston Churchill, Joan of Arc, George Washington Carver, and other notable historical figures. I've always been fascinated with stories involving historical figures in modern times, and this book was no exception. The solution they discover is a simple one; almost TOO simple, so I would suggest making the effort to keep from over-thinking it, as I am often prone to do. Nevertheless, Andy Andrews is known for the masterpieces he creates with his storytelling, and yet again, Andrews delivers.
