Six Hours One Friday: Living in the Power of the Cross by Max Lucado
4.0
I've always enjoyed Max Lucado's writing, and this book was no different. It wasn't my favorite of his (I felt it hit a slightly odd middle ground of dramatized biblical stories and practical Christian living truths, rather than most of his books which tend to lean heavier to one side), but still an inspiring and impactful read.
There were several moments that really stuck with me, such as his dramatized account of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. His portrayal of God instructing the angels to go to Eve (when she was being tempted) the instant she looked to Him for help, but to stay back if she refused to look to God, was convicting. How often is God just waiting, longing and ready to help me overcome temptation, if only I would look to Him? And how many times have I grieved Him by refusing to look to Him for help, but ignoring Him and looking only to my own desires instead?
Overall, I'd read Lucado's other books much more often than this one, but it was definitely worth reading at least once.
