false 859315 6 <i>"What if for 24 hours Jesus wakes up in your bed, walks in your shoes, lives in your house, assumes your schedule?... What if for one day Jesus lives your life with his heart?</i><p> Within these opening lines lies the premise of Max Lucado's book about the possibility of becoming "just like Jesus." In recounting the biblical stories of Jesus' life and deeds, Lucado then explains how Jesus' acts of compassion, forgiveness, honesty, and faith can be reflected in anyone's everyday life. Lucado's concrete analogy of "just like Jesus" helps many readers grasp the fundamentals of Christianity in a new and inspiring way. Furthermore, in taking on the values, heart and deeds of Jesus, Lucado believes, Christians can expect a richer, more accessible relationship with God. "Jesus had unbroken communion with his father," writes Lucado. "Do you suppose the Father desires the same for us? Absolutely ... God has the same abiding intimacy with you that he had with his son."<p> One of the reasons that Lucado's popularity has soared is that he combines straightforward storytelling skills with simple, unfettered theology to explain how Christianity influences modern life, from marriage and career to golf games and traffic jams. Fans will also appreciate his companion study guide at the end of the book, which offers provocative questions relating to the themes of each chapter. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 167401 1998 Just Like Jesus total:307|5:139|4:109|3:50|2:8|1:1| 307 1298 432 26 859315 0849917859 9780849917851 281 23 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178949510m/859315.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/859315.Just_Like_Jesus 4 0 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Apr 12 07:08:25 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 07:09:00 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 859315 0849917859 9780849917851 281 23 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178949510m/859315.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/859315.Just_Like_Jesus 5 0 false Wed Feb 25 13:34:14 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 13:36:12 -0800 2009 2
I am currently using parts of this book to teach my youth group about living as a Christian in a dark world.
