Max Lucado has written a devotional masterpiece that can attract the attention of any philosopher who is searching for the meaning of life or give insight to any clergyman who is in search of material that can supplement his or her preparation for a thought-provoking sermon.

I am generally wary of those who attempt to use individual biblical quotes to postulate their personal opinions and then formulate themes that they call daily devotions. In other words, beware of those who attempt to use scripture to "fit" their points-of-view.

Lucado, on the other hand, does the opposite. He presents a variety of stories that range from moral tales to historical accounts of triumphs and disasters, all of which parallel the fables and parables of ancient times, and while reading each chapter, one should conclude that if there is any point that Lucado is trying to get across, it is not for his own personal benefit; instead, it is this: we fail to realize that there are so many modern-day events in our world that make the works of the gospel writers just as relevant today as they were in the past and that many of these happenings brought to life are just as applicable to the so-called ordinary individual as they are to the famous figures who headline our daily news.

This book allows us to see God's word applied to situations we have been in and can relate to. Further proving the awesome power He has!

This book will give you an understanding of why God's message is delivered as it is, to get our attention. Max provides some wonderful stories from John to broaden our understanding of why God communicates the way he does.

The metaphores and analogies astonished me! It makes me understand the love of the father evenmore.I thank God for Max, and now I am enjoying his Cosmic Christmas.

A friend of mine gave this book to me as a gift. It is truly the best book I have ever read when it comes to improving your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I really enjoyed Max Lucado's style of writing. He used examples that made sense to me and that I could relate to. He grabs you and makes you want to read more. I am looking forward to reading other books by Lucado and hope that he continues to help those of us in search of HIM
