Just In Case You Ever Wonder by Max Lucado

     I recently had the opportunity to read "Just In Case You Ever Wonder" to my son. He loved it. The book tells children, and adults alike that while we are not yet perfect, and we have fears, God loves us just the way we are. In Heaven there is no tears, no monsters, just big God hugs. This also applies to parents as well, and while this book was written for children, it's enough for us adults to realize that we are all God's children, and God doesn't want us to change. He made us the way we are for a reason. No other person has the same eyes or nose as you. You were made the way God intended.

    I really enjoyed this book. It also came as a nice hardcover so it is a great collector item for my son. He should have it for many years to come. The pictures are very clear and conveys the message that is written in the book. It is a nice bedtime read to remind children that one day there will be no more pain and that us as parents will be with them always, in Heaven.

When God Whispers Your Name

I think the message being conveyed in this book is that of "No matter where you go in life or what you do, that is exactly where you're suppose to be." This is the first book I've read by Max Lucado and I can see he is a very talenter writer. He tends to take exerpts from the Bible and put them into todays contexts to show how they relate to you and I. The writer uses modern language to help the reader understand the point he is trying to make.
 If you need a little encouragement to help get you through the day, I would reccomend taking the time to sit down and read what the author has to say. If you flip to the end and scroll through that first, you will see a study section with questions pertaining to each chapter and you can follow along after each section. God is an unchanging God and is still the same today as He was back then, in the time of Moses & Abraham. He still wants you to seek him, worship Him, trust Him and he will see you through each situation no matter how small.
