None. Second time to read it. As good as the first! (  ) journeyguy | Apr 2, 2013 |  I requested a digital review copy of this book from BookSneeze. In this book, Max Lucado takes an honest look at life as we know it. He points out that the things we thought would make us happy don’t. And then he offers an alternative which will. The main message of It’s Not About Me is that we can only experience true happiness when we take our focus off of our selves. Mr Lucado’s writing is, as ever, beautiful. His tone is warm and friendly and he draws the reader through his argument with artfully rendered anecdotes which stick in the mind where a dryer explanation might not. This book isn’t just comforting puff though. Mr Lucado has done his homework and backs up his anecdotal evidence with sound Biblical scholarship. I really enjoyed reading this book for the writing alone. The message isn’t really anything new but we can all use a reminder from time to time. notjustlaura | Aug 1, 2011 | Presents a practical guide to understanding that life revolves around God, and offers advice to looking at problems and difficulties differently and allowing God to change them. apachurch | Sep 27, 2009 | There really is more to this life than you've been told. It's All About Me....They all told us it was, didn't they? And we took them up on it. We thought self-celebration would make us happy.... But believing that has created chaos-noisy homes, stress-filled businesses, cutthroat relationships. We've chased so many skinny rabbits, says Max Lucado, that we've missed the fat one: the God-centered life. If you want to shift into high gear with purpose, this is it: Life makes sense when we accept our place! Our pleasures, our problems, our gifts and talents...when they're all for the One who created us, we suddenly gain what we've been missing and find what we've been seeking. Let Max Lucado show you how to make the shift of a lifetime. How to bump your life off self-center. How to be changed and experience the meaning-charged life you were meant to have. Your discovery starts here. DunnFunKat | Sep 18, 2007 | Light reading... good intentions. (  ) Mychiefthemama | Jul 30, 2006 | no reviews | add a review
