Review \\ No Wonder They Call Him the Savior by Max Lucado

In this compelling quest for the Messiah, best-selling author Max Lucado invites readers to meet the blue-collar Jew whose claim altered a world and whose promise has never been equaled. Readers will come to know Jesus the Christ in a brand-new way as Lucado brings them full circle to the foot of the cross and the man who sacrificed His life on it.

I've had a difficult time coming up with something to say about No Wonder They Call Him the Savior by Max Lucado. What can I say about Max Lucado's books that has not already been said?

If you are aware of Lucado's style, then this book will be no surprise to you. It contains chapters that to some seem island-like and choppy and to others seem the perfect blog-type entries that can be read individually in about five minutes. I lean a little more towards the choppy-thinking side. I didn't like that I felt I had to break between chapters since most carried separate ideas and equally deep thoughts that I needed time to ponder. But there is pleasure in the fact that I could set the book down for about a month and then return to it without difficulty.

The thing that I like most about Max Lucado is that, in each book he writes, he asks the reader to really take the time and think. Sure, one chapter is an easy two to five minute read, but the feeling and question it contains lasts long after you put the book down. No Wonder They Call Him the Savior offers the perfect opportunity to ponder and discover the character and purpose of Jesus Christ.


I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers. All opinions of this book are my own.
