Max On Life

Max On Life was not what I expected from a book or from Max Lucado.  Maybe I like his books that concentrate on one subject rather than a multitude of topics:  Hope, Hurt, Help, Him/Her, Home, Haves/Have-Nots, Hereafter.  That's a lot of "H" topics.

He answers 172 questions on these topics, which are topics that we face in life in many cultures.  Okay, that's all well and great, and I thought as I read on, I could get into the book, but I couldn't.

In Lucado's other books, characters are developed throughout the book, which I love.  There are no characters here, rather topics with questions and answers.  I've read of number of his books and can see where he's coming from, but maybe I put Lucado on a pedestal to wow me with each book.

This book did not wow me or even come close.  It was really hard to get through this book.  I guess I like the longer version to answering tough questions in life rather than the short 1-2 pages typically for each question.  It didn't do anything for me.  Some answers to the questions, he did use Scripture.  I just don't find his writing in these short spurts all that great.  Disappointing.
