More Lost Than Found

Well to be honest, this book, More Lost Than Found, is quite interesting. I have never read a book by this particular author, Jared Herd, but needless to say it was quite an experience. As I read this book, I kind of had an awkward feeling. It was like I agreed on most of the stuff he was writing but then in a way felt uncomfortable and maybe even a little convicted about some stuff. For example where he said,

 “Somewhere along the way, Christians began to treat God as if he lives inside of churches and wants you to consume only things labeled Christians, but everywhere else in culture he is nonexistent.”

 He also said,

“There is the church we go to or the Christian stuff we participate in, and then there is the rest of our week.”

 It is a very challenging book but somewhere between chapters you become a little bored, tired, and ready to finish so you can say you are done. As I pointed out, it has some very good thoughts and I agreed with a lot of what this book said, but not all. I don’t agree with some of his theology. Maybe it’s the way he comes across, but to be honest, I would not take the time to read it again.

Book Review: No Wonder They Call Him the Saviour

First of all, I really love books by Max Lucado and this one is no exception. In my opinion, he is one of the most amazing Christian authors. In his book, No Wonder They Call Him the Savior, he brings the struggle of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, the humanity of Jesus on the cross, and the power of the resurrection to life. He also relates in a very profound way the story of not only Jesus, but the people who loved, lived, hated, and betrayed Jesus.

In this book you will have the chance to look through the Roman soldier’s eyes at the foot of the Cross, understand Mary’s perspective on that fateful day, see God’s unconditional love to the thief on the Cross, and then also experience the feelings of “Doubting Thomas”.

 I was especially moved by the one chapter where he went through the whole story of Jesus, from the Garden to the resurrection, in just one word sentences. It was a very powerful chapter called “Alive”. I also appreciate the personal stories that Mr. Lucado added to this book and the powerful words of testimonies of unlikely people of whom God saved, transformed, and then used for His glory. I would highly recommend this book and suggest you defiantly purchase it for your own library.
