Thank you NetGalley for an advanced readers copy of this book. In this book Max Lucado gives twelve biblical promises that you can apply to your everyday life. It relatable and hopeful and does not come across as too preachy.

As Max Lucado does best, this book is full of practical Bible based teaching. He gives 12 promises in the Bible to apply to our every lives, and he unpacks each promise. It is real, relatable, and filled with both hope and encouragement.

I am a big fan of Max Lucado. I always feel like I learn something new whenever I read one of his books.

In Unshakable Hope, Max Lucado unpacks 12 of the Bible’s most significant promises, equipping you to overcome difficult circumstances by keeping your focus on the hope found in the promises of Scripture rather than dwelling on the problems in front of you.For every problem in life, God has given you a promise.

This book really hit home with me and I really feel like I have learned some valuable lessons. As you put your faith in the promises of God you will see God's character and find his power to change you both from within and also your external circumstances. Max understands that there is no condemnation for the believer.

Max Lucado has been a pastor for 40 years and you can tell right from the start of this book that he is used to dealing with people in all walks of life and in all circumstances of life. His warmth, his humanness, his deep and abiding faith, his sense of humor and his skills as a pastor and wise counselor are evident throughout this book.

Unshakable Hope: Building Our Lives on the Promises of God is a highly readable, non-"preachy" book reminding us that though we may be suffering difficult times personally, as a family, as a community or as a nation, there is no need to despair if we but remember the many promises of God. He enumerates many of the promises of God, teaching about them and offering anecdotal stories to make them more real.

I found this a very inspirational book and definitely recommend it!

Many thanks to Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for allowing me to read a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Not his best work, but Max Lucado's newest book Unshakable Hope is classic Max Lucado (comes out next month Aug 7). Unlike his other works, there's more exposition and less poetry. But you won't be disappointed; his writing style is still superb.

He starts off each chapter with a specific promise from Scripture. As expected, each chapter can stand on its own, but the overarching theme is that God keeps his promises, and that gives us hope. He unsuccessfully keeps trying to push the "we are people of the Promise" theme, as if to inspire us, but I don't think it works. Nice try, though. It may have worked if he devoted a poetic chapter to it first, a tear-jerker.

All in all, Max Lucado does it again. Good work, but nothing that really stands out from his other works.

#Unshakeable Hope# is a very helpful and practical book. It draws the reader to remember all the many promises of God. There are promises for our weariness by coming to Him when we are tired . We are to stand and believe the promises of God are for us and can be used in our life. We are stamped with His image. Our failures have been forgiven which should be very freeing. Romans 8:1 talks about how we have not any condemnation since we are God's . We have been given victory over death according to 1 Cor. 15:54. God also does not like it when we are proud according to 1 Peter 5:5. He guides us to have a humble spirit . We need to know when we pray great things will happen according to James 5:16. He wants us to have an believing heart when we bring prayer requests to Him. Max showed how much He loved His unborn granddaughter before we were born as a comparison with how much God loves us. He also reminded us since people are made in God's image we should treat others with honor and respect since they are made in His image. He took the promises and used many stories to make them real and personal for our every day life. He reminds us to trust no one but God when the storms come . He writes in a personal way to help us walk through each trial we face and use the promises each day. His book is very helpful for any Christian . Are you standing on the promises of God ? We have been given such treasurers in these promises for our every day life. I was given this book online for review purposed from Netgalley.
