"Max on Life" is a book compiled 172 questions that Max Lucado has been asked throughout his ministry and life. The questions are categorized into the seven topics of hope, hurt, help, him/her, home, have/have-nots, and hereafter. Lucado answers each of the question in a few paragraphs, including scriptural references in each of his answers.
This is the first Max Lucado book I have read. I knew the format was different than his former books and it did take me a little while to become interested in the book. I felt that there were very deep and tough questions asked and often times a couple paragraphs were not suffice to answer the questions - I often times wanted to read more about the question. I also felt that some of Lucado's answers didn't fully answer the question or skirted around the issue a bit. However, due to the tough nature of the questions, I don't believe that any person on Earth could give a solid answer to the question. I did appreciate and enjoy Lucado's easy writing style and his solid Biblical references. He used scripture to answer all his questions and also gave great practical examples.
I will continue to use this book as a reference whenever I am learning more about a Christian topic or discussing a Christian topic with another person. I would recommend this book to any new or seasoned Christian as it wrestles with tough topics that everyone would find relevant in life. I am also eager to continue reading Max Lucado's literature after reading "Max on Life".
