God Came Near

By Max Lucado

Book Overview

It all happened in a moment -- a most remarkable moment. God came near. He came not as a flash of light or as an unapproachable conqueror, but as One whose first cries were heard by a peasant girl and a sleepy carpenter. The hands that held him were not manicured, but callused and dirty. No silk. No ivory. No hype. No party. No hoopla. God had come near ... for you. Travel back in time and relive Christ the Son of God becoming man. Come with Max as he brings to life the most important event in history ... when God came near. And as you catch a vision of this incredible moment, let it mark the beginning of a new life for yourself. God came near. If he is who he says he is, there is no truth more worthy of your time.

WOW!

Reading this book helped me come to a much better understanding of just what our Savior did for us! To leave Heaven in all of its glory and splendor and come to earth to become a human! Max brings the Incarnation into such focus. I found myself in tears several times as I considered God's sacrifice for me! What a blessing! This book is going to my favorite people this Christmas!

God Came Near

This book is amazing; it was the first book I was given as a new believer in Christ and I found it so thought provoking and inspirational. You will "see" Jesus in a way you never have before- and maybe for the first time. I highly recommend this book.

This book is incredible

Lucado's writing is so moving. I am thankful that he is a Christian and put his amazing talent for writing for use for Christ. I couldn't recommend this book more highly. I like the way the chapters are broken down. It is very easy to read and I enjoyed every word of it.

AWSOME!!!

What else could I say except Awsome!! Tis is a must read for all christians! I had my 9th grade homeschooled daughter read this and report each day what she'd learned and it was so awsome to read what came from her. We as parents should educate our kids with this kind of literature. And thats what I like most about Max is the easy to understand thought he puts on paper and I love how his mind work to make the teaching of Gods truths so simple and to the point! Read and you will not be disappointed!

Awesome -- A real Eye-Opener

I read "God Came Near" in nearly no time at all. Max Lucado's books, especially this one, show the way to Christ. In reading this book I finally realized that Jesus was a human just like the rest of us and He knows what we feel and the struggles we endure from first-hand experiences. This book was wonderful and I recommend it to anyone seeking Jesus.
