Just Like Jesus For Teens :

By Max Lucado

Book Overview

No bad attitudes. No white lies. Not even a single pity party. In short, Jesus was-and is-perfect. And God wants us to be the same way, too. "You've got to be kidding," you may think to yourself. The bar is too high. The standard too steep. "How can I ever be just like Jesus?" you may wonder. Master communicator and best-selling author Max Lucado knows the feeling. It's an impossible calling-unless you see it through God's eyes of grace. In Just Like Jesus for tweens, Lucado unravels the mystery of holiness through stories and scenarios that charge straight to the heart, told in his characteristically casual style. By wholly leaning on God, His grace, and His goodness, we can and will see our lives conformed to His character. It's a promise we have from God and a positive perspective on God's exciting plan for all of His children.

Hard To Put Down, Good Second Time Around!

When I first heard about Max Lucado it was for his latest book "He Chose The Nails" (another great one!). But when I walked in the book store I ended up getting two books and neither was the book above. I got this book and When Christ Comes. I do not regret the day I did that. Max Lucado has now become my favorite author. I love the way he puts stories in his books to make you think, and this book is too good for words. I am using it as part of my devotional because my time is few. What I really loved about this book was how Max told us to listen to God and let God love US (not let us love God, there is a difference in that!). I never thought of it, and this got me thinking. This whole book will make you THINK! I mean talk about a "what would Jesus do?" book. This one would be up there with that kind of book. This book teaches you how to live like Jesus, and it shows you that God loves you, just for you but He wants you to change daily. Pick this up, you wont regret buying it and like me,it will be hard to put it down. And dont be suprised if you find yourself picking it back up again not too long once it is done. Good going Max Lucado! Truly a God Sent!

" A DEFINITE EYE - OPENER "

"I HAVE SPENT YEARS CLAIMING TO BE THIS AND THAT, THIS BOOK MADE ME TAKE AN HONEST LOOK AT MY DAY TO DAY LIFE" . AFTER READING "JUST LIKE JESUS" , I KNEW I WASN'T WHERE I SHOULD BE AND NOW THAT MY EYES ARE OPEN, ON A DAILY BASIS I STRIVE TO BE JUST LIKE JESUS ! (THANKS MAX)

Excellent!

Lucado has done it again! This book is so great that I have bought several to give away. No- it's not intellectually stimulating- I don't think the author intended it to be- it is "heart" and "spirit" stimulating. Anyone as intelligent as Lucado could write something too difficult for us to understand, but he chooses to use a style that all of us can relate to- Just like Jesus did (and does)

Very Inspirational

I was going through a tough divorce and it gave me the strength to do nice things, instead of wanting revenge. I made a point to read at least one chapter a day. If I was upset, I would read and he helped give me the strength to do what I morally should do. The book was not overpowering by too many scriptures. He did an excellent job of using scriptures to get the message across. I have also read two more of his books. He is a great author.
