This is the newest Max Lucado book.  He is still one of my favorite authors simply because his books are inspiring.   His books are always filled with great stories that help us connect the dots when it comes to spiritual truth.  For instance, he tells the story of Carl McCunn, a man who moved from Texas to Alaska At the age of 35 he embarked on a photography expedition.  He hired a bush pilot to drop him of 70 miles north of Fort Yukon.  Later that year as his supplies ran low he realized he had not made arrangements to be picked up.  When a state trooper discovered his body he had left behind a 100 page diary in which he wrote, “I think I should have used more foresight about arranging for my departure.”

The lesson is clear – many people live this life with no clear exit strategy.  They live as if life will go on forever.  Those who realize this is not the case and commit to following Christ will be ushered from this life into the next.

I liked the verse quoted at the start of the book:

God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes. - I Samuel 22:25 (MSG)

As I have stated before, Lucado’s books seem to run together at this point but are still worth my time as far as I am concerned.
