Book Overview

Building on stories and illustrations from He Chose the Nails by bestselling author Max Lucado, He Did This Just for You is a booklet designed to lead you through God's plan of sacrifice and salvation.

When you think of the cross, what thoughts come to mind? Steeples? Gold necklaces? Churches? Or do your thoughts go deeper? Do words like these come to mind: Jesus. Nails. Blood. Pain. Death. Tomb. Empty. Joy. Promise. Life. Savior!

The words of the cross are so full of pain. So full of passion. So full of promise--God's promise to each and every one of us. His promise to do whatever it takes to save your soul. He did this just for you.

He Did This Just for You shares the story of salvation in a new light, taking you through three distinct pieces of the puzzle:

The Parable--God's longing for usThe Promise--God's gift for usThe Privilege--God's invitation to us

Customer Reviews

Great book!

Very interesting!

Beautiful book

Impactful. One of the most beautiful books I’ve read concerning the cross.

Es increible!!

Este libro es realmente bueno, puedes entender el porque de los clavos, el porque del madero, el porque del rótulo que lo proclamó rey de los judíos... Es un libro que te lleva a enteneder un poco mas el amor de Jesús por ti.

The Gospel Message

A great presentation of the gospel message. Biblical and human...

He Chose the Nails: God's love letter to me

As it always does, Max Lucado's writing once again grips your heart and gives it a big squeeze. His humor and folksy stories make you feel like you're listening to a close friend. I read this book at a time when I was emotionally drained and wrung out-and what a thirst-quencher. Chapter after chapter, his vivid descriptions made me feel (only in a much greater way) like I do when I realize my husband did something incredibly caring or sacrificial on his part; I sit back and think, wow, he really does love me. On such a larger scale, each aspect of what Jesus did on the cross and leading up to it was Him saying to me personally, I love you, I hurt when you hurt, I do know your pain. The title says it: he didn't have to - he CHOSE to because God Almighty, creator of the universe, LOVES ME! Wow. I gave this book to a friend having a rough time. The next day, she called me in tears, sobbing "He really does love me, doesn't he?" What a love letter.

Always Outstanding!!!!

I just finished reading this book and Max Lucado, as always, has written another outstanding book. He analyzes the symbolism of the three crosses, the nails and the actual crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. His use of imagery in the book is second to none as you feel as if you were actually present during the actual event. I have walked away with a deeper understanding and appreciation for what God chose to do for me (and you) because of His love. You MUST read this book!
