Book Review: Max on Life by Max Lucado

Max on Life by Max Lucado is not a book you sit down and read in one sitting, but more of a resource on some of the most asked questions the famous author received about the Christian life. He organizes the 200 questions he answers with biblical truths in the following seven categories:

-Hope
-Hurt
-Help
-Him/Her
-Home
-Haves/Have-Nots
-Hereafter

In addition to answering questions in these categories, there is a brief section about information for aspiring writers, notes, and a topical index for quickly finding the answers to you questions.

While the questions were not answered in depth, they did scratch the surface of the issue and point the reader in the right direction. Obviously, in answering 200 questions, you cannot address every aspect of the question, but some of the answers were a little brief for such deep questions. While I wasn’t blown away by any new information, I believe this would be a great beginning point for a lot of questions. This would be a great resource for a quick biblical perspective when faced with tough questions to keep on your bookshelf. I would recommend Max on Life as a great resource to have, but not all conclusive for life’s issues.
