Product Description

From Amazon

Reading a Max Lucado book is as comfortable as having coffee and conversation with a close friend. He Chose the Nails: What God Did to Win Your Heart is signature Lucado: warm, conversational storytelling blended with scripture, humour and vulnerability.

Lucado invites us to understand the symbols surrounding Christ's crucifixion and celebrate the significance of the promises they offer. From the sign in different languages tacked to the cross ("I will speak to you in your language") to the burial clothing ("I can turn your tragedy into triumph") he speaks of each symbol as a "gift of grace" that reveals God's love for mankind.

Lucado takes us to Calvary, and shows us our sins nailed between the hands of Jesus and the cross. "You've made some bad choices in life, haven't you", writes Lucado. "You've chosen the wrong friends, maybe the wrong career, even the wrong spouse. You look back over your life and say, 'If only I could make up for those bad choices.' You can. One good choice for eternity offsets a thousand bad ones on earth. The choice is yours".

Whether he's bantering around phrases like "the hall monitors of holiness" or crafting a deeper expository on the crown of thorns, Lucado neatly balances the task of making his words accessible to a broad audience while delivering a meaty message on God's greatest sacrifice. Pick up this insightful read, and you will be glad you made the choice. --Cindy Crosby

From Publishers Weekly

Lucado's understated homiletical style has propelled sales of more than 15 million books and made him the first author to win three Gold Medallion awards for Christian Book of the Year (Just Like Jesus, 1999; In the Grip of Grace, 1997; and When God Whispers Your Name, 1995). His loyal following will in no way be disappointed with this latest offering, which focuses on the "gifts" of the cross, including the soldiers' spit, the crown of thorns, the nails, the wine-soaked sponge, the burial garments and Pilate's sign identifying Jesus as the King of the Jews. Each of these tragic objects teaches Christians something about the nature of God, says Lucado. The wine-soaked sponge, for example, offered when Jesus spoke of his thirst while dying on the cross, demonstrates how God through Jesus took on the entire human experience, complete with its suffering. "To take on our sins is one thing, but to take on our sunburns, our sore throats? To experience death, yesDbut to put up with life?" God did this so that his followers would fully trust him, Lucado explains, and know that their pain was understood. Lucado uses good humor and everyday situations (such as coping with road rage) to bring his points home. His skill in highlighting even the smallest detail of the crucifixion scene will prove an epiphany for many readers. (Aug.)

5.0 out of 5 starsALMOST MADE ME CRY! A NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT JESUS DEATH!
By Holly Johnson on May 20 2001
Format: Hardcover
First of all, I have to say Max Lucado is a great author. All of his books not only make you think, they really move you. At least they have for me. This is one of my most favorite books by Max Lucado. He takes you to the cross, he shows you the small details some you might not even thought did matter, and he shows you what the meant to you and me. Like when he says that it they hadn't nailed Jesus to the cross, Jesus would have taken the nails and nailed Himself there. This book made me want to cry. If you have forgotten what the cross meant, if you dont know, if you want to know more, if you want to fall in love with Jesus more, if you want to know more about HOW MUCH Jesus loved you, buy this book. It is a quick read, each chapter isn't very long at all, and its so GOOD you will read it and wish to read more. Its a great book, I HIGHLY recommend to anyone out there. I wanted to recommend this book for my job at the bookstore but they got rid of all the copies so I recommend it here! For Easter or any time of the year. You will walk away with a new sense of who you are, and what Jesus did for you. God Bless You!

5.0 out of 5 starsNicely Done
By J. F Foster on Dec 4 2000
Format: Hardcover
As I understand it, this book is a composition of a sermon series that Lucado delivered to his church. I think this would have been quite a sermon series to listen to live.
Lucado does a good job of combining everyday examples of life with the imagery of the cross to paint a compelling picture of God's love as demonstrated by sending the perfect lamb of Jesus Christ to live among sinful beings and to die on their behalf only to conquer the grave and be physically resurrected for the world to see. When I first started reading this book, I was frankly a bit skeptical of Lucado's premise - that the individual components of the cross themselves have meaning in terms of comprehending God's love. But this book got me thinking about this premise, and reminded me and reenforced within me a timeless truth. In all creation, God's perfection, beauty, love, and omnipresence are evident if we take the time to look. The Creator is distinct from the creation, but the creation reflects the Creator. And while reading Lucado's book, it dawned on me that if we accept this premise, then why can't the nails, wood, thorns, etc of the crucifixion provide insights into God's character if the rest of creation does? The answer I came to is that Lucado's premise makes sense, and the ideas he puts forth are very compelling within that context.
Whether Lucado's ideas in and of themselves can be regarded as theological truth is somewhat open to interpretation. But in my view, his ideas taken as a whole most definitely support and reenforce a long held theological truth - that God's love knows no competition because it far surpasses anything that human beings are capable of expressing. God's love can be imperfectly emulated, but it cannot be duplicated.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsWhat God did to win your heart
By A Customer on Aug. 14 2000
Format: Hardcover
Not since Robert Folghum (It was on fire when I lay down on it) have I read anything by anyone who could find so much meaning and depth in the seemingly ordinary.Max Lucado (Pronouneced Lu- KAY doh not Lu-KAH-doh He wrote an intresting chapter on this) uses ordinary events to illustrate and explain biblical concepts in simple and easly understood ways.He also has some fascinating insights in to the crucifcation of Jesus. Every detail of the crusifiction is explained with amazing clarity, from the crown of thorns and the inscription above his head to the burial and reserection. The only problem I had with this book was it's brevity the book can easily be read in less then five hours leaving the reader wanting more. The last fifty pages or so are a kind of study guide for the book. I would have preferred an extra fifty pages of Mr. lucado's insights than a chapter by chapter study guide. All in all though this is an excellent book for all christian and contains some useful insights and humor.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhat God Did to Win Your Heart
By shoutgrace on July 8 2003
Format: Hardcover
Lucado takes the reader to the foot of the Cross to see for ourselves what God did to win our hearts. God's promises of the ancient prophecy are revealed in the tools of torture and shame. Every instrument was a gift of love and redemption. Could you do what He did in your place to ransom you from Sin and Death? If we all stood in a line waiting for our time to linger in sacrifice for the atonement could you do it? Imagine what it would be like to have nails driven in your hands with 6-inch spikes and feel scratching and stabbing of thorns on your brow. Instead God sent His Son Jesus to die in your place. That's why 'He Chose the Nails.' No other god would come from Heaven to redeem the lost, like Jesus did. To let you know He Loved you. Jesus sacrified His Life and shed His blood as a Sin Offering-Pure, Sinless and Full of Grace. For our sake He was made Sin, who knew no Sin. So that in Him we might become the righteousness of God [2 Corithians 5: 21].

Lucado examines each tool of torture to tell that beautiful, loving story of atonement and redemption. He invites you to listen to each one tell you what God did to win your heart. When the soldiers spat on Him, He bore your dark side of sin. By the gifts from the Crown of Thorns, the Nails, between the two crosses He beared His own Cross that He become one of us, he forgave, he gave you a choice for freedom and He promised to Love you Forever. The greatest Love He gave was demonstrated on the Cross. As it was written on Romans 5: 8...that God demonstrated His Love for us in this, while we were sinners. Christ died for us. We couldn't do what He did alone. Only He could do it for us. The price of sin was paid-in-full. What we all can offer is our lives to Him, and leave our troubles and sorrows at the foot of the Cross.Read more ›
