Author: Max Lucado
Title: Just Like Jesus
Max Lucado is one of America's favorite writers with more than 100 million products in print. He serves the Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas with his wife, Denalyn.
This book is beautifully written. It helps us accept the simple truth that God loves us. Not only does He love each of us exactly as we are, He wants us, little by little, to become like Him. He loves us enough to live within us, making our hearts His home. Max reminds us of just how far God will go to transform us into His likeness. God loves us just the way we are, but He refuses to leave us that way. More than anything, He wants us to be just like Jesus. This book helps us to understand the heart of Jesus.
The heart of Jesus is forgiving, compassionate, listening, God-intoxicated, worship hungry, focused, honest, pure, hope-filled, rejoicing and enduring. This may sound like too much, but this little book explains it all in an easy to absorb fast read. At the end of the book there is a complete study guide. The study guide covers each chapter seproup study separately and completely. It would be a great book for a group study, as well as a personal study. I can't think of a greater gift than to be like Jesus. Christ felt to guilt; God wants to banish yours. God wants to remove our bad habits. Jesus had no fear of death; God wants us to be fearless. Their are many more qualities that are covered in this book that we can learn from studying the heart of Jesus.
I give this book five stars.
