My newest favourite author

Lately I can't seem to get enough of Max Lucado's books. I buy them as fast as I can find them (I've picked up so many recently that I had to sit down and make a list of which ones I had because I'd lost track of them). Something in the way he writes speaks to me on a very personal level. I'm finding that I'm discovering more about myself and my faith through reading his books. The way he presents his material is very simple to follow and just makes so much sense! I have so many "A-ha!" moments when I sit down with one his books. So far, I've finished "Every Day Deserves a Chance" and I'm currently reading "Cure For The Common Life". I started reading "3:16 The Numbers of Hope" one night but put it aside when I realized I was going to need a notebook and pen to keep track of all of the insights that were coming to me while reading it (I was relaxing in the tub with it at the time, and notebooks and pens and water don't mix very well).

I also really enjoy his devotional books. I have "Grace For The Moment" and am looking for "Grace For The Moment II". I really like his online devotions too. They only come once a week, so my email inbox is not being overwhelmed with new messages every day. I really like getting that little "boost" to get my week started off on the right note.

TTFN!
