Product Description

From Amazon.com

"What if for 24 hours Jesus wakes up in your bed, walks in your shoes, lives in your house, assumes your schedule?... What if for one day Jesus lives your life with his heart?

Within these opening lines lies the premise of Max Lucado's book about the possibility of becoming "just like Jesus." In recounting the biblical stories of Jesus' life and deeds, Lucado then explains how Jesus' acts of compassion, forgiveness, honesty, and faith can be reflected in anyone's everyday life. Lucado's concrete analogy of "just like Jesus" helps many readers grasp the fundamentals of Christianity in a new and inspiring way. Furthermore, in taking on the values, heart and deeds of Jesus, Lucado believes, Christians can expect a richer, more accessible relationship with God. "Jesus had unbroken communion with his father," writes Lucado. "Do you suppose the Father desires the same for us? Absolutely ... God has the same abiding intimacy with you that he had with his son."

One of the reasons that Lucado's popularity has soared is that he combines straightforward storytelling skills with simple, unfettered theology to explain how Christianity influences modern life, from marriage and career to golf games and traffic jams. Fans will also appreciate his companion study guide at the end of the book, which offers provocative questions relating to the themes of each chapter. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Library Journal

Popular Christian author and minister Lucado skillfully applies humorous analogies and down-to-earth wisdom to reflect on what it means to become more truly Christlike. Lucado's insights are culled from scriptural reflections on the life of Christ. If we can examine our own lives, longings, and abilities in light of Christ's example, the profound liberation of God's grace could change in our lives what we alone cannot. Lucado's appeal, for the most part, lies in his own powerful faith and in the lightheartedness that it brings to his writing. His conclusions, however, tend toward simplification and sometimes stop short of necessary further reflection (his heavy-handed condemnation of Judas's betrayal is a case in point). Suitable for larger devotional/Christian living collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing for the Troubled Heart, Nov 15 2002
By Rebecca Johnson "SeasonedwithLove.com" (Washington State) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Just Like Jesus (Hardcover)
There are times when you wonder how God could love us. We are so very human. This book starts with the premise that God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you in the state he found you in.

Jesus felt no guilt.
He didn't have any bad habits.
He had no fears.
Jesus wasn't afraid to die.

If you are a Christian you will at times feel very troubled. As if you are changing and sometimes you just want to stay the same. You reach a comfortable place and then your heart seems troubled.

Max Lucado says God is just remodeling your heart.

"What if, for one day Jesus were to become you?"

What would you be like? Would anyone notice a change in your behavior.

The Contents Includes:

A Heart Like His
Loving the People You are Stuck With (A Forgiving Heart)
The Touch of God (A Compassionate Heart)
Hearing God's Music (A Listening Heart)
Being Led by an Unseen Hand (A God-Intoxicated Heart)
A Changed Face and a Set of Wings (A Worship-Hungry Heart)
Golf Games and Celery Sticks (A Focused Heart)
Nothing but the Truth (An Honest Heart)
The Greenhouse of the Mind (A Pure Heart)
Finding Gold in the Garbage (A Hope-Filled Heart)
When Heaven Celebrates (A Rejoicing Heart)
Finishing Strong (An Enduring Heart)

One sentence really stood out about Jesus Christ:

"He spent over three decades wading through the muck and mire of our sin yet still saw enough beauty in us to die for our mistakes." -pg. 6

Being like Jesus is a real challenge. It seems you can become like him in some areas and then you struggle like crazy with other issues.

It is a good thing God loves me, because I have a way to go and he is sure doing a job on my heart.

Dear God: "Do we get coffee breaks?"

Sometimes I wish Jesus was still on earth and he could
just give you a big hug. I see him that way.

By reading this book, you will figure out which
room God is trying to remodel.

I guess you can't really lock any doors, cause
God has all the keys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Like Jesus, Sep 22 2002
This review is from: Just Like Jesus (Hardcover)
In yet another wonderfully inspirational book, Lucado urges his readers to live a life that Jesus would be proud of. He doesn't tell the reader what he needs to do however, just reminds us of the way that Jesus lived and that we should look at him as an example of how to live. Enhancing this message is a very useful study guide perfect for small group study or even individual contemplation.

Lucado's illustrations using his own family and experiences really help to fit his words and the words of the Bible into our own lives and remind us that "He loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus."

Why 5 stars?:
Lucado has turned out another powerful book concerning how we can become like Jesus. The study guide make the reading of the book even stronger by challenging the reader to look deeper into his own life. Recommended for those strong in their faith, but still wanting to improve their walk with God, all the way to those who are just curious about who Jesus is.
