Is there a purgatory? Why does God let babies die? How can I forgive my unfaithful husband? These and dozens more of life's hardest questions are addressed in "Max on Life" by Max Lucado. Each page of this book answered a different question. If I was struggling with one of the specific areas touched on in Mr. Lucado's book, I likely would have really benefited from reading it. While the content of this book is bang on, I find Mr. Lucado's writing style relate-able but tedious. My favorite parts of the book were his quotes from C.S.Lewis. Then again, who can compare to C.S.Lewis? I have no doubt some people will be greatly encouraged and helped by this book but I wasn't one of them.

Fearless by Max Lucado
Loved it Loved it Loved it!!! I can't speak highly enough about "Fearless" by Max Lucado. It was like Mr. Lucado read my mind and then wrote a book to try and help me understand my fears. "Fearless" touches on the fear of death, failure, success, world turmoil, the opinions of others etc. Each chapter was like a brand new therapy session without the couch. If you find yourself holding back from doing what you know you should then I urge you to read this book. I kept finding myself thinking "I really ought to write that line on a post-it." Definitely a must for anyone and everyone's bookshelf.

Kids' DVD Review
I just finished watching Hermie and Friends: Whose in Charge Anyway? by Max Lucado. What a delightful DVD. The animation was bright and cheery. The "bad guys" were far from frightening and the music was perfect. My 11 year old son didn't appreciate it although I did hear a chuckle from him. My 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter each gave it a thumbs up. My guess is that neither one of them would chose this video again over something else as it's a bit young for them. If you have a 2 to 5 year old I would definitely recommend this video.
