“When God gives, he dances for joy. He strikes up the band
and leads the giving parade.” In typical
Max Lucado style, the vision of a great God loving his people is passed on to
the reader using metaphor that simplifies even the most difficult, unbelievable
theological idea to a level of understanding.
In Wild Grace, God’s grace is defined through stories of real
life ordinary people doing extraordinary things. If that weren’t enough, Mr. Lucado’s writing
style, elegantly simple and straightforward, drives each point home.
Wild Grace is an adaptation of Max Lucado’s Grace
geared toward a teen audience. Each
chapter is ended with 2-3 thought provoking application questions. It is not as consuming as a Bible study, but
is simple and clear. An example is, “How
has God given you grace lately?”
As the mother of a 12 year old girl who is spiritually
mature for her age and experience, I would highly recommend this book to any
teenager and plan to have my daughter read it, as well. If you are an adult who are wearied by
grandiose theological discussions, or just need an easy read to reaffirm what
you already know about God’s grace, this book will be a fountain of blessing
for you as well.
In my final comments, I would like to express my thanks to
Max Lucado and James Lund for this wonderful, spirit-filled book. This book should be a resource for every
parent of a teen that wants their child to have a better understanding of who
God is and who we are to him.
