Cast of Characters

Max Lucado's: Cast of Characters: Common People in the Hands of an Uncommon God, rolls out before you like a string of pearls linked together by a single resplendent theme, hope. The stories are complete within themselves, making it a perfect book that can be read in short bursts or time grabs BUT it's not a read and drop book, you are invited to explore. Max Lucado encourages you to drift into reflective thought and possibly revisit these characters on more than one occasion. \\r\\n\\r\\nEach chapter takes you to a deep place in God and asks you to rest there. You are accompanying these characters on a journey of hope. He aligns these well-known characters with possible experiences of our own and asks us to look a little deeper and realise that we are all faulty creatures, even those that God used in a mighty way. \\r\\n\\r\\nMax Lucardo invites us to walk with each of these characters to the meeting place of Jesus, each of us guided into place by the Holy Spirit. It's here that we see our reflection in and out of God, not once, but possibly again and again. \\r\\n\\r\\nAs these Bible characters merge with our contemporary world we are challenged to see into our own situations and ask questions of ourselves. \\r\\n\\r\\nAt the end of each chapter the author has provided a series of questions to engage our reflective thinking. \\r\\n\\r\\nPick it up. It can be more than just a read.
