Thomas Nelson Review - His Name is Jesus

His Name is Jesus: The Promise of God's Love Fulfilled by Max Lucado

When I received this book I couldn't help but he impressed by how beautiful of a book it is. This hardbound book is full of beautiful, breathe-taking, landscape pictures. It makes you think of God's creation right from the start. This book isn't one that I would read as a novel but one that I would read in snippets, a great coffee table book. There are many short segments where Lucado talks about different miracles that Christ preformed and delves into his observations of Christ’s personality. He shows Christ not only as a God among men but shows the human side of Christ and helps you see how loving and in touch with humanity he really was. It helps you see Christ as someone you can relate too, not just someone to praise, someone who struggled through trials, not just someone who lived life without temptation. We know that Christ suffered all things for us because he loves us but this makes you feel how much be loves you. It is very well written, with poems, Lucado’s thoughts, scripture and beautiful art. This would make a wonderful gift. Something to think about with both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day coming up.
