He Chose the Nails

Excellent book! Really helped me understand at last!!!!! Highly recommended! Thanks.

Okay - I admit it - I'm a Max Lucado fan BUT not so much as to be overly biased on anything he produces. This book however really brought me to tears at many points during it. Max's superb talent for taking bible stories we've all heard 1000 times before and turning them round to look at them in a whole new light, makes you rethink many views you may have had before. This particular book along with "Six hours one Friday" focuses on the salvation offering of Christ's crucifixion and points out that Jesus had EVERY choice in heaven and earth to not undergo death at that time, in that manner or for any reason given his divinity. But He CHOSE to - and Max writes much about the reasons behind that choice. Enough to bring the hardest unbeliever to a point of rethinking their attitude about the whole event perhaps. Also, certainly, one to read if you are a Christian and your faith is perhaps waning somewhat and you want to rediscover what it was about Jesus that ever made you want to know Him in the first place.

Lovely lamp and it is so convenient having chargers in the base to charge phone and tablet overnight instead of hunting for wall sockets.

If you are a Max Lucado fan, you won't be disappointed with this book.

Max Lucado has a gift for reaching all hearts and this book especially so. A real book for real people, not the religious, but the people Jesus would have reached out to. Easter was the perfect time to read this, but it's a book for all seasons. Just beautiful.

If you want a deeeper insight as to why Jesus went to the cross, then read this book. Max Lucado obviously loves God very much. I really liked his style of writing which, in spite of the serious subject of the book, included humour (often directed at himself) and an ability to put the reader into the story as it unfolds. He has a wonderful, God given gift.

Max has a gift for explaining and exploring the wisdom of God. The book is easy reading, the understanding is gritty and at times shocking to accept, but please allow the enormity of the sacrifice to wash over your life. One final thought....here's a spoiler alert.... why did Jesus die on the cross? He did it for you!

We are using this inspirational book at our weekly Breakfast with the Bible meetings for the Lent season, It has provided us with much discussion at our sessions which we have been holding for many years. Thank you Max Lucado
