Book Review: Glory Days by Max Lucado



If you have accepted Christ, according to Max Lucado, you are living your glory days. Glory Days is Lucado's newest book sharing how you can live each day with God as your helper in your own "Glory Days."

Max Lucado says many Christians underestimate what happened to them in their conversion. After conversion, Lucado says we are fully equipped to live the Christian life in our own promised land if we will claim our inheritance. Glory Days is an uplifting and encouraging book, as I find many of Lucado's to be, that it can help you live a victorious life in Him. This book is based on the book of Joshua. In the introduction of this book, Lucado shares that according to a recent research project, only eleven percent of Christians are propelled by their faith to love God and to love others with their whole hearts. This book was written to help Christians see that they can become the Christian they want to be. While we walk through the book of Joshua with Lucado's help, readers learn that they can overcome sin and fear, as well as other strongholds. In Glory Days, we see Joshua's victories and his failures and can learn from them how to apply those lessons to our own life.

I especially like that Glory Days has a study guide in the back to go along with the book. The study guide offers a great set of questions and Scripture to look up to go along with what Lucado is teaching in Glory Days. This is a good study guide to do on your own or along with a group. In addition, Glory Days includes a preview of the new devotional that will be out in December called, God is With You Every Day. This book has a daily reading from the Bible, along with readings from Max Lucado's other books compiled into this daily devotional. I recommend any Christian wanting to live a more victorious life to read Glory Days and take time to do the study guide reading and questions along with the book.

I received Glory Days from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for the book.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader.

There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
