Helen’s Reviews > 3:16: The Numbers of Hope > Status Update

Without a doubt, these short one-page devotions are some of the best writing Max Lucado has ever done.

Lucado 3:16 Day 13 of 40-day devotional – Why did Jesus get in the boat? It wasn’t to catch fish. In the boat, after a boatload of fish. Peter doesn’t see the fish or the Rabbi. He sees Jesus the Lord. That is why Jesus got in the boat. I want Jesus in my boat. I want to see Him in my life, in the everyday duties.
This is some of the best of Max Lucado.

The book narrative I found to be so-so, but the devotions are exemplary. Every day I find a small saying to hold on to for my day. Every bit is yummy food for thought.

I'm into the devotions after the narrative and am getting much more out of it. John 3:16 is, in my opinion, the verse that says it all about who God is and what is important to Him. The devotion is all about the 'only begotten son'. I like that.

The first part is finished. Now I get to spend 40 days with a literal scrapbook of Jesus' life. 40 days, what an experience from the manger to the empty tomb. I'm looking forward to it.
