Just Like Jesus: Learning to Have a Heart Like His 2

By Max Lucado

Book Overview

God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you there. He wants you to be just like Jesus. Can you think of a better offer? In Just Like Jesus, pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado reminds us that being just like Jesus feels like an impossible goal until we accept one simple truth: God loves us.

Jesus felt no guilt; God wants you to feel no guilt. Jesus had no bad habits; God wants to do away with yours. Jesus had no fears; God wants the same for you. Jesus had no anxiety about death; you needn't either. God's desire, his plan, his ultimate goal is to make you into the image of Christ. Not only does God love each of us exactly as we are, he wants us, little by little, to become like him.

He doesn't love us and leave us alone; he loves us enough to live within us, making our hearts his home. But doing so requires a bit of sprucing up, remodeling, refurnishing. Why? Because he wants us to have a heart like his too. Just Like Jesus will teach you how far God will go to transform us into his likeness.

Along the way, Max addresses questions that might arise as you examine the peaceful, passionate, and pure heart of Christ, including:

How do we know that God wants us to be made in his image?How does this change occur?If God wants me to be just like Jesus, why do I still seem just like me?

In Just Like Jesus, Max gives you the tools you need to better understand God's gracious gift of transformation and restoration, so you, too, can start to live Just Like Jesus.

Max Lucado books.

I love all of Max Lucado’s books. This was no exception. All Christians should read it.

Excelente

Max Lucado toca nuevamente el corazon de los cristianos. Esta vez nos hace un llamado a imitar a Jesus. Utilizando sus conocidas ilustraciones nos muestra como podemos explotar nuestras capacidades siguiendo el ejemplo de Jesus en nuestras vidas. Es un libro que debe estar en el hogar de cualquier cristiano o persona que desee ser como Jesus.

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!
