When Christ Comes: The Beginning of the Very Best

Max Lucado has been truly blessed with the gift of interpretation. As a Christian, I read my Bible but falter with meanings and explanations. Max Lucado to my rescue.This book oozes hope. It relays joy. It shares the Truth about our heavenly expectations. Peace abounds as you learn that Christ will return, keeping His promise, allowing us access to Our Father's Kingdom. All of this is deciphered for us verse by verse; translated into common understanding and personal adeptation. I loved this book. Fear was invading my spirituality but "When Christ Comes, reinstated the strength within me to have Faith.Excellent teaching. Worth more than gold!

this book gripped me from the very first page. i must admit i was a little troubled by some of the paragraphs,but on the whole i learnd a great deal about jesus,the pain and suffering he indured for humankind.i enjoyed the chapter crossing the threshold where he told a story(or what i thought was a story)about a prince and a peasant bride. as i read through the paragraph i realised max was actually talking about god being the prince and us representing the peasant bride. we may at times dessert him and forget about him but my heart is full of HIM.An inspiring book written by an extremlely talented author,who shows great faith and compassion in his writings. GOD BLESS you and your beautiful family max,may they give you joy,peace and happiness for the rest of your life and beyond.

All of us have faced death in one way or another. All of us have come across grief, a simple sad rainy day, or a pure agony that seems to go on for months...maybe years...Even when our bodys don't seem hurt, we all have felt our hearts, our souls, bleed...How are we freed from this? Can we ever truly be freed in this body? Not in this world, a truthful answer to both questions. Will we actually be free one day...a most definate YES! if we live in the glory and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ!Life is harsh, can be cruel, life is painful, can be sinister...oh but God...God is so glorious... He sent his Son to die for us...because he did that...we are changed...How are we to live? Are we suppose to live for just today? No! Christ will return to us someday...whether it is on our death bed...or the beautiful Rapture of the Church...Max explores our lives in living and serving for Christ...how we are able to change lives...like the idea of the butterfly whipping its wings... causing a tornado across the world...We might not be saints...But Max explains how we influence others, how we influence ourselves... how we are able to help bring people to the glory of God...how we are able to bring ourselves up to Christ so that he may say with love "Welcome Faithful Servant..."This book is so important in our lives, in our witnessing, in our private pains, in our most glorious moments...when we seem to be atop the world...It puts it all together...I thank Lord for Max, he is a hero...

I've read almost all books by Max Lucado and he outdid himself on this one. They keep getting better. Any time you want to be uplifted or need to feel closer to God, just pick up a Max Lucado masterpiece. His writing is so mellow yet his teachings are adapted perfectly from the Bible. I could write 5,000 words and not be finished. P.S. If you are a new convert to Christ, Lucado's books will help you understand lots of questions immediately!

Reading Max Lucado's book "When Christ Comes - The Beginning of the Very Best" was some of the best time I have spent this year. His insights into the word of God concerning the Second Coming of Christ were heart-searching, dream-launching, and understandable! Full of truth, and current life application, I would recommend this book to EVERYONE. I so much look forward to seeing Jesus; more than ever before.
