God has a Promised Land for you to claim.
Maybe you're feeling a little stuck. Caught in a rut. You're fighting the same battles and facing the same temptations. You're wondering, is this as good as the Christian life gets?
There's good news. You were made for more. You were made for Glory Days.
In God's plan, in God's land, you win more often than you lose, forgive as quickly as you are offended, and give as abundantly as you receive. You may stumble, but you will not collapse. You may struggle, but you'll defy despair. You will enjoy abundant fruit and increasing faith.
With God's help you can close the gap between the person you are and the person you want to be.
These days are Glory Days.
Your past is past,
your future is bright,
God's promises are true and
his Word is sure.
With God as your helper,
you will be all he wants you to be,
do all he wants you to do,
and receive all he wants you to receive.
These days are Glory Days.
My thoughts: As I read the first chapter of this book, I thought how neat it would be to sit in a church and listen to Max Lucado preach. Then--it hit me that I have the better deal. I can read his messages in a book. I can highlight, take notes, read and reread. I can talk my time, and absorb every spiritual truth mentioned.
I like the way Max Lucado uses real life stories that people can relate to. He quotes the Bible verses (written out, with references included) so you don't need to read with a Bible handy (unless you want to) and you can squeeze a sermon in whenever you need spiritual food--lunch breaks, evening reading, morning quiet time, break time, whenever.
This book is going on my keeper self as I will reread this book multiple times. I absolutely love Max Lucado. I love his spiritual insights, I love his sense of humor, I love his voice and his heart for God's word.
Don't miss GLORY DAYS. Pick up a copy of this book for yourself, for a friend, for your church library--and maybe consider using it in a small group.
