Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Lucado (When Christ Comes; Facing Your Giants ) digs deeply into one of the most famous and oft-quoted passages of the Bible-John 3:16. First situating it in its biblical context as part of Jesus's conversation with Nicodemus, Lucado then dissects the 26-word promise phrase by phrase, picking out key theological ideas that provide hope to Christians. What does it mean that God "so loved the world"- What must we do to gain everlasting life- Using his trademark folksy style, Lucado employs great stories and real-life illustrations to drive home points about God's love, justice and determination to save. The chapter on hell (pinging off the phrase "shall not perish") is alone worth the price of admission; it's uncharacteristically hard-hitting for Lucado, with the beloved pastor drawing a line in the sand for evangelicals who might be tempted to believe in universal salvation or who imagine hell as a mere metaphor. That chapter, in fact, could and should be further developed in a book of its own. Some of Lucado's points in this book are devastatingly insightful, others only gimmicky or superficial; still, the book is an excellent entry into the popular Texas writer's body of work. It's short, marvelously accessible and followed by a 40-day Bible study on the life of Jesus (excerpted from Lucado's prior books).

Max Lucado is a pastor, speaker, and bestselling author who, in his own words, “writes books for people who don’t read books.” He serves the people of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, and his message is for the hurting, the guilty, the lonely, and the discouraged: God loves you; let him.

Max is known for combining poetic storytelling and homespun humor with the heart of a pastor. All of his trade books began as sermon series at Oak Hills Church, and his sermons all begin with Max asking himself this question: “What can I say on Sunday that will still matter on Monday?” He’s been dubbed “America’s Pastor” by Christianity Today, and “The Best Preacher in America” by Reader’s Digest.

Max’s books have sold more than 96 million copies in 56 languages worldwide with more than 145 million total products in print branded with his name and words. Max’s books regularly appear on bestseller lists, including The New York Times. His writing has also been featured in Bible studies, Bible commentaries, songs, greeting cards, and even plush toys.

Max and his wife Denalyn live in San Antonio, Texas and celebrated forty years of marriage in 2021. They have three grown daughters, three sons-in-law, and two grandchildren.

Jesus died on the cross as payment for the sins of mankind. The act of martyrdom is not uncommon, but Jesus was. The world is abundant with evidence that Jesus wasn't just another martyr - he moved people beyond this world. He got people to BELIEVE. That is a fantastic contribution to the human race. Without hope, what do we have to look forward to. With hope, beyond material desires, we realize we are more than human. Even famed astrophysicist Neil deGrass Tyson shares an appreciation for God in the statement that while others see humans as being only a small particle of dust in vast universe, the real truth is that throughout the entire universe, the fundamental make-up (organic matter) of what we are at the subatomic level, is at ONE with the ENTIRE universe. Dr. Dyer said it another way, that if you believe you originated from a Creator such as God, then you are part-God. Rather than humans that have spiritual experiences, think of yourself as a spirit having human experiences. If you want more inspiration, watch the heroic story of "Life According to Sam" - a boy with Progeria who viewed his time on Earth as a complete blessing and who lived with more positivity than any of us could imagine if we were in his circumstances. The LOVE that he felt and that he SHARED is DIVINE. And that is all Jesus really cared for us to know - in my opinion. And so Max Lucado basically breaks down the entire premise of the Christian faith by examining each word in the passage of John 3:16.

I am a Max Lucado fan. I am attempting to read everything that he has written. This is his newest, re-released book and next in line for my Bible Study. Max is an excellent writer and he brings scriptures to life and easily understood by those who need simple explanation of scripture (Me). I am ready to dive into his book 3:16 and study this beautiful passage deeper. John 3:16 -- These are my numbers of hope.

I love this book. Max does such a great job drawing new believers in their faith all the way to those who have believed for years and need a sweet reminder, and a fresh wind of the Holy Spirit. Very easy read, but thought provoking…the devotions at the end are the icing on the cake. Thank you Max Lucado for loving the Lord and refreshing and deepening my walk with the Lord.
