Pre-Order ‘Glory Days,’ Max Lucado’s New Book, and Receive Free Gifts! Also Glory Days Review.

About the book:
Glory Days
(Thomas Nelson, September 2015)

The wilderness. Maybe you know it well.

The Israelites sure did. After all, they spent forty years wandering the desert. Victories were scarce. Progress was slow. They were free from Pharaoh but not free from fear. Saved but stuck.

Sounds a lot like midlife misery. Caught in a rut. Stalled out. Running on empty. Are you mired in the same?

You can name the day you became a Christian and escaped Egypt. But you can't remember the last time you defeated a temptation or experienced an answered prayer. You're fighting the same battles you fought the day you came to Christ. You're out of Egypt, but Egypt's not out of you.

Isn't the Christian life supposed to be better than this?

Jesus offers abundant joy. Yet you live with oppressive grief. The epistles speak of grace. You shoulder guilt. You are more than a conqueror yet are commonly conquered by temptation or weaknesses.

But there's good news. With God's help you can close the gap between the person you are and the person you want to be. Like Joshua and the Israelites, you can move from a wilderness existence into a promised inheritance.

This is God's vision for your life. You, at full throttle. You, as you were intended. You, as victor over the Jerichos and giants. You, minus the stumbles, hurts, and hate.

You and your Promised Land life.

My review:

I really enjoyed this book and felt it had a lot to say to probably most Christians.  Lucado goes through the book and life of Joshua to show us the parallels between the Hebrews' physical journey and our spiritual one to the Promised Land.  He points out that we don't have to live in defeat or feel like we're stuck in a rut; that we have God's power and His promises.  Some of his chapters deal with regrets, failure, trust and finally a reminder that God fights for you.  He especially points out that we need to be reading our Bible so we know the voice of our Shepherd and obey it.  A study done shows it's the most important tool in our spiritual growth.  I loved the personal examples from his life, the inspiring stories of people he's met and a few from famous people.  The book was very encouraging and had great practical advice.  I highly recommend it for Christians needing some encouragement and wisdom!

I received this book free from Litfuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review.
