Max Lucado is very gifted with words. If you are looking for a very nice centerpiece for your coffee table, or if you need a gift book with wonderful pictures in them, a compilation of some of Lucado’s best books is now available from Thomas Nelson Publishers. It is called His Name is Jesus.
Excerpts from 21 of Lucado’s books combined with beautiful pictures and excellent font graphics, bound by a giant rectangle book with a sheath to hold it in, make this the perfect gift giving book for people over forty. The words themselves bring you into the very life and story of the gospels. They bring to life all of the scenes from the Bible, highlighting the humanity of it all. The grace and love of the person of Jesus Christ seep from these stories and bring to light the person and function of Jesus Christ.
Quotes from Lucado’s books, sections from the books, and Bible verses are on each page. One of my favorites is this one, “Christ’s resurrection is an exploding flare announcing to all sincere seekers that it is safe to believe.” The book is filled with beautiful thoughts to bring to mind the words and actions of Christ, concluding with the decision to accept or reject this belief.
If you are looking for powerful words and a powerful presentation of the gospel that is life like and love filled, this book is for you! “He invites us to love Him. He Urges us to love Him. But, in the end, the choice is yours and mine.”
