Does life feel futile? Doesn't have to.
Do some of your failures seem fatal? They aren't.
And your death. Does the grave appear to be the final stop? According to Christ, your death is just the start of the something great.
There is a truth greater than all the losses and sorrows of life. And it can be discovered in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In Six Hours One Friday, Max Lucado delves into the meaning of Jesus' last hours on the cross. Through his death, your life has purpose and meaning. You are forgiven and loved by a Savior who died for you. And an empty tomb proclaims that death does not have the final word.
My Thoughts: Max Lucado is one of my favorite authors. His writings are so inspirational and his words always seem to touch my heart. Six Hours One Friday is one of those books you read and then you want to share with others. After reading the book, as with most of Lucado's books, I found myself wishing I'd never turned to that last page. How clever to equate a story of one of the death of Jesus Christ with a message of hope. Lucado has a knack for telling those biblical stories we've heard a zillion times and relating them to our everyday lives.
Is this his best book? No. Not in my opinion, yet it is one of my favorite Max Lucado books. One I'm sure I will probably read again and again and alas, again.
Buy It: Six Hours One Friday by Max Lucado is available at bookstores everywhere. You may also find it online at Amazon and Thomas Nelson.
