I was given this great little book to review. It’s called For The Tough Times written by Max Lucado. A beautiful little hard covered gift book, it would make an awesome gift!
 |
For the Tough Times: Reaching Toward Heaven for Hope |
This book deals with the struggle of watching life fall apart around you and all the questions and frustrations that boil out. “God is still in His temple. He is still on His throne. And He’s still in control.” Max helps point out the answers through Scripture and his awesome stories that keep me turning page after page.
It’s short, sweet and to the point. It would be a powerful full length book but as a gift book it really does well. It covers the topics enough to wet the interest and stir the waters of someone’s heart to turn to God in those hurting times.
It’s a great book to set on your bedside stand to read in snippets or to give to a struggling friend with a basket of goodies, or even as a secret friend gift.
In fact… I think it’s so inspiring… I am going to use it as my first book giveaway. I want to use my blog to encourage, uplift, and inspire myself and others to grow in our relationship with God. Do you need, or know someone that needs this book? Someone that is depressed, angry or vengeful about things that have happened in their life? Someone with questions that seem to have no real answers?
Just leave a comment and don’t forget to leave a way I can contact you if you win. Be sure to follow my blog as well! I will do a drawing next Tuesday to see who wins this lovely book.

Wow, I could use this book! And I love Max L – he has a way of bringing out the truth in Scripture in a new and refreshing way, making me see and know things I hadn’t seen before. Thanks, Shirley!

Wonder why my pic didn’t post with my comment? Hmm. Curious.
I have that book but haven’t read it yet. You’ve motivated me to do so!
Oh – toss my name in the ring! I would LOVE this book. SOO want to read it. LOVE Lucado (hehe I just friended him on Facebook!).
I love Max!! Please enter me:)
Enter me in this as well. This is something that I’d love to share with someone very close to me that has issues with God. I think God is thumping him on the head because of several incidents that have happened that have got him thinking about his sour attitude with God, but anything else I can share with him that might help would be great.
Listen to Joanne! Can you guys hear her now? “Well, I AM friends with Max Lucado on Facebook!” ROFL Talk about name dropping!! (Just kidding, Joanne! You know we love you!! LOL ;D )
Yay! I finally made it here-lol. I’m using firefox, not sure if IE had something to do with the error today. I tried a few times. oh well. lol.
