God led me to this book in a dream! I’ve been struggling with extreme health problems that’s caused me to live in utter fear of death constantly. Im only 31. This has shown me God can use Satans evil and turn it around for good. I won’t be in the pit forever. God has a plan for me I just have to be patient like Joseph and wait to find out what it is! Doesn’t make it easier but it makes it easier for me to understand what’s been happening to me. Trials. We all go through them.

I was going through a really tough time in my life and in my marriage. My job of 15 years said "good-bye". And I found myself in a really dark place. Reading this book, amongst others, truly helped me see that I CAN get through this. It's been a little while since I read it, but I'm feeling like I should read it again, just because it is so awesome of a story! Thanks Max!

Another uplifting book by Max Lucado. This book offers encouragement and insight into the struggles we all face dealing with life in this fragile and fallen world. Max makes you laugh, cry, and carry on for this is not our home. Keep writing Max for you have been blessed with a gift.

Once again Mr. Lucado hits it! He is truly remarkable! I love reading his books. He definitely has a gift from God and I highly recommend this book. Awesome read:) God Bless you Mr. Lucado!

I loved every chapter. Very encouraging

God has used this book to emotionally and psychologically heal me, and I highly recommend it for every person in the world to read. You don't have to be going through a crisis to read it. It'll help prevent you from going through a crisis. God definitely guided Max during the writing of this. I was suffering terribly and looking for any help I could find, so I went to the Christian bookstore and God led me to this book. God knew what was best for me and now I share the good news. What I love most is that the foundation of the whole book is from events in the Bible. Max uses God's story to help us (i.e. Max let's God heal us).

We've all been through it...or will...Satan and his demons pounce, growl and set fire to what we have built, saved, or birthed. We see it clearly as evil winning over goodness. We are fed the lies...over and over again...God isn't here....God doesn't care...it's God's will that you be defeated...Life isn't worth living... Many of us have learned the Bible stories from early childhood. Jonah in the whale; David vs Goliath; Paul in shackles; Noah in the flood; Jesus, the sinless one, feeling forsaken as He hung dying. Why did God put these illustrations in the Bible? Max Lucado adds new perspective. One the world needs to know... I've got at least 10 people who desperately need to read the first sample...and then in September...the whole book. Please note: this review is based on the sample provided by the publisher and I tunes. The full book will be released in September.
