Fantastic book! I definitely recommend it to everyone! This book is a great sermon and life refresher. It helps remind you and enlighten you and put your world in perspective. We are such selfish me-centered people. But Max Lucado reminds us in an easy to understand, easy to follow, interesting manner, that IT IS ALL ABOUT GOD, not us. This book is a great reflection on life and priorities. Take it and sit down in a private quite room and meditate on it or read and ponder the ideas. The author even repeats the key highlights for extra emphasis! So just in case you missed or didn't realize what was most important, the author repeats and ALL CAPS these key sentences. This book was fantastic from start to finish. I am going to buy a couple for friends and relatives.
My favorite parts:
- When we make life about us, we end up pushing happiness further away. So if we would just let go of our agendas and timetables and let God hold the reins, our lives would turn out fantastic!
- The moon generates no light, so she has a good reason to complain. But, instead, she reflects the light of the sun and look at her beauty when she does this! Just like the moon, we should reflect the glory and light and beauty of the Son, Jesus Christ.
- Our deepest desires should not be the things of God (what we can get from Him), but God himself (a relationship and understanding of who He is). When we look to God, we should see Him for HIS BEAUTY/GLORY, not for what we can get from Him or how He can make our lives easier.
- There is hope! For all us who are sufferring, God promises ETERNAL happiness and life. He doesn't take away our burdens and trials, He offsets them by giving us better treasures.
Disclaimer: I received this book free of charge from the publisher but I am giving my honest review.
