I have read several “little kid” books by Max Lucado, and really enjoyed his parallels to real life situations along with Christian themes. I especially liked how in this book not only did he share different stories from the life of Jesus Christ, but also included beautiful photography and fonts to look at.A couple parts that I really enjoyed are how he helped me understand once again how Jesus Christ can be a personal Savior for each of us. I especially liked his telling of when Jesus calmed the seas and the woman who touched his robe, favorite scripture stories of mine. I also liked how he asks poignant questions that made me think what would I do in this situation.
Though some of the theology of Lucado I don’t agree with, overall, I found this book moving and especially beautiful to read. I read it in a couple of days so it’s an easy book to read in a couple of hours, or to just take little “sections” or even one story at a time to think more deeply about.
Overall, this story increased my love for my Savior Jesus Christ and made me think harder on how I can have a better relationship with Him.
