In the Eye of the Storm
by
Max Lucado
One day in the life of Christ.
Call it a tapestry of turmoil: A noisy pictorial in which the golden threads of triumph knot against the black, frazzled strings of tragedy.
Call it a symphony of emotions: A sunrise-to-sunset orchestration of extremes. One score is brassy with exuberance -- the next moans with sorrow.
Whatever you call it -- call it real. Author Max Lucado call...more

This was an inspiring book. I read it when my mom (who is only 54) became very suddenly and critically ill. She's a very devout Christian and I couldn't help but wonder why this was happening to her. I read this book for comfort and to gain some perspective, and I believe reading it accomplished both goals. I recommend this book to anyone who is experiencing a major struggle in their life!

Love how Max Lucado makes God so REAL.
One of my favorite chapters was "Why God Smiles" in which Lucado writes "I'm not one who easily envisions a smiling God. A weeping God, yes. An angry God, OK. A might God, you bet. But a chuckling God? .... What do I think he was doing when he stretched the neck of the giraffe? An exercise in engineering? What do I think he had in mind when he told the ostrich where to put his head? Spelunking? What do I think he was doing when he designed the mating call o...more

Max Lucado has a gift for finding the eternal in the commonplace. He spots the inspiration in the historic. He can take the divine and make it personal. The thrust of "In The Eye Of The Storm" is to give his readers comfort and direction in times of adversity, especially those times when we are hounded by demands, filled with doubt, or facing failure. To the heart ready receive, the impact of this unrelenting trio dwindles before the prospect of perspective, endurance and choice. This book is de...more

This book was given to me as a gift; and although initially I was intimidated I decided - why not? Let me give it a fair shot.....so.....I read it and my eyes were opened to just how "easy" I had it. Just when I thought I was drowning in a quagmire of problems, and challenges - I see that what I can't "seem to bear" is completely doable! It was a book that I hold dear to my heart & am eternally grateful to my friend.....who I will always hold in a special place in my heart.
Christ in His last day on earth. His loss of friends the stress of what was to come and the weight of our sins all crashing down on Him. But He is faithful to His Father's will and goes the length and achieves victory.
This book has been very inspirational for me in dealing with the storm that's going on in my life right now. My storm is nothing compared to what Jesus went through on the road to the cross.
Lucado is masterful. His use of language is superb. This book focuses on one day in Jesus' life: the day he fed the 5000. There are awesome insights to apply to daily living.
This book was helped me through some very tough times. It is my absolute favorite of his books, although they are all great.
Comforted me in a tough time. I enjoy his humble writing style. Good storyteller. Will read more of him.
Filled with 30+ quick stories from the New Testament and Jesus centered around when we are going thru turbalent times. Light, yet good reminders.
Each chapter is like a short story, easy to read before bed. Very inspirational
I sooo love this book
Don't miss this one-vintage Max Lucado, which means TERRIFIC!

Awesome book!
This is the book that the VERY book that first gave me any hope. I was feeling sentenced to a life of being forsaken, when I found this book, and read about God's love...
This book, is that book that joined my first hopes that life could be better and without it I would have never made it to today.
The love and grace of God was something I did not had to taste, as of yet then.... now My heart quivers with deep compassion at the fear of rejected outcasts.Read this book !!!
I thank Max for this book.

Love Lucado!
Has your life ever gone from calm to chaos in a short while? Mine has. This book was given to me by my sister at a time my life was changed by a doctor's visit to my hospital room. A Christiam perspective on how to handle a dilemma in one's life.
Easy read, chapters were very short, so it made for a great daily devotional. Not particularly "deep", but still made you think about things in a different way. Great easy summer read.
Enjoy all of Max Lucado...we're not alone! and in the deepest darkest hour...we can find that quiet place in the center of our storm. All things work out in time.
Lucado is such a nice gentle, yet passionate, storyteller, that you've gotta love him. He encourages and inspires the faithful without being offensive.
This is my 'book of the year'. Refreshing for 'experienced' believers. Applicable to every 'storm' that hit us. My favorite is Chapter 7.
