Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Stories from the Bible retold to remind us what Jesus did, and does today what people cannot do themselves. Topics include: Afraid of the future? Understanding death; Confused by God's actions; how to love growing old; overcoming bad attitude; dealing with difficult relatives; etc. Taking a parable and applying it to current day situations is gently, but directly targeted toward the reader. Max Lucado applies unique insights to touch the readers heart in each chapter. Each chapter addresses a separate passage, making this book ideal for a meaningful addition to daily devotions. Short chapters on the theme of 'bruised reeds and smouldering wicks'. The author takes Biblical characters or situations, and puts a slightly different perspective on them. Poetic license undoubtedly, but he's a good writer and it makes interesting reading. Relevant anecdotes from more recent years are included in some places, and the author gently makes the point - many times - that God is with us, and loves us, and wants to heal us inwardly. Shame, guilt and other inner burdens can harm us more than more obvious disabilities. Intended for Christians, and recommended to anyone, particularly if struggling to hear God's voice in difficult situations.

It's what happens when obstacles prevent you from seeing what God has done for you ... He still moves stones. People with questions. The Bible is absolutely full of them. A crook on a cross. A wild man in a cemetery. A five-time divorcée. A despondent cripple. A grieving sister. A father at the end of his rope. Why are these portraits in the Bible? So we can look back in amazement at what Jesus did? No ... these aren't just Sunday school stories. They are historic moments in which a real God met real pain so we could answer the question. "Does God care when I hurt?" On every page of this powerfully moving book, Max Lucado reminds us, the God who spoke to Moses at the burning bush still speaks loudly to you today. The God who forgave King David still offers you forgiveness. The God who helped men and women in ages past still comes into your world, and he comes to do what you can't, to move the stone away so you can see his answer. No library descriptions found. |
