Max on Life is a book that asks Max Lucado questions from various aspects of life, and he answers them to the best of his ability. It is cleverly divided into sections all beginning with the letter “H,” that of hope, hurt, help, him/her, home, haves/have-nots, and hereafter. Common questions related to death, money, marriage, children, eternal life, are asked. Lucado begins each section with a hand-written answer to a letter someone wrote, then seeks to answer more questions.
While the book cannot possibly answer every question in every area of life, he picks major ones. The answers are concise. They rarely take up more than one page, and occasionally bleed onto a second. It makes it easy to read. A particular subject is simple to find since the book is divided into categories. Lucado uses Scripture in a lot of his answers, though I think he could have used more. At times, there seem to be a few proof-texts, but most of it is true to the context of Scripture. This book may not appeal to those stronger in their faith or who have been Christians for a long time as many of the questions are those that young Christians, or even non-Christians, may ask.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program.
