As always, Max Lucado knows how to encourage and inspire you to be the best you can be! I thank my Tati for sending me this devotional and I will probably be reading and writing about it for years to come

Good solid study

My nephew and I read these devotions together for 2021 and exchanged texts daily about what we were learning. It was a great way to connect our faith and fellowship over hundreds of miles and years of age difference. Thanks Max!

This has excerpts from other Lucado works rewritten with a little more application specifically for teens and college students.

A beautiful hard cover year devotional packed full with insight, inspiration and encouragement. A perfect gift!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I can't wait to pass it on to my teenage daughter. Each devotional page has a scripture verse, a story or explanation and a deeper application. (F.Y.I. The scripture verses are taken from many different translations.) It only takes a couple of minutes a day to read and will inspire a deeper understanding of God. I've always loved the deep and thought-provoking way Max Lucado can take one single concept and peel back so many layers to it. He is a gifted teacher and encourager. His words are simple enough for young people to understand, yet profound enough to inspire change. They do not carry a preachy, "you better do better" tone, but rather a loving conversation pointing out a fresh take on the trials of growing up. Max's storytelling abilities shine in these pages.

Some extras added to the book are the hard cover, for endurance and a ribbon for bookmarking your place each day. There is also a bible reading guide at the end of the book. The publishers list it as appropriate for ages 13-17, but I think adults could benefit from the words in it as well.

An absolutely awesome book - worth every penny.

Thank you to BookLook Bloggers and Thomas Nelson publishers for a free copy of this book to review. I am not required to review it positively. These thoughts are my own.

The teen years can be so difficult. One of the best things to combat that is to instill a firm foundation in your teen. Helping them become grounded in the Word of God at an early age won't necessarily shield them from all that life throws at them but it does give them Someone to turn to during those times.

One God One Plan One Life is a great way to introduce your teen to a daily habit of reading and dwelling upon God's Word. Each day begins with a scripture passage and then has a short devotional thought from Max Lucado.

In his masterful storyteller way Max speaks relevant truth to his teenage audience. The devotions come across as a caring older uncle just having a conversation with a favorite niece or nephew. I was pleased to see the variety of subjects that are addressed in the book. The book doesn't come across as preachy or judgmental but rather it will be okay because there is One that loves you and wants what's best for you.

I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review.

This book is a blessing to our family devotionals.

We loved read it in our family devotionals, it has given us plenty of times for discussions and conversations. Hope it can do the same for all who buy it.
