Book Review: Grace by Max Lucado

Yet another challenging and easy-to-read book by Max Lucado. Lucado uses his story-telling to illustrate various truths about the biblical concept of grace in eleven chapters.

There is nothing "exceptionally amazing" about this book; just good solid content like the reader has come to expect from Lucado. This reader did not find the book as mentally challenging or emotionally stirring as other of Lucado's works (eg. God Came Near, Facing Your Giants, or Outlive Your Life), yet there is nothing that can be criticized.

Along with each chapter, a reader guide is provided at the end of the book that provide related passages to consider, activities to consider, and a prayer. The reader's guide can be used individually or for a small group study. Along with a Spanish translation of the book, there are related resources (eg. DVD series, DaySpring devotionals or cards, and books for children or teenagers). It would be interesting to hear him speak on the grace tour to see how the book aligns with his verbal presentations.
