God loves you just as you are, but refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be …JUST LIKE JESUS, is the longer than typical title of a book by popular Christian author Max Lucado (Word Publishing, Nashville, 1998). Lucado’s book is about a topic that is central to recovery – change. Have you ever wondered what God’s will is for you life? According to the Apostle Paul God’s will for you is to be “conformed [or changed] to the image of his Son” (Rom. 8:29). In other words, God wants you to

A book on truly seeking Christ and developing the mind of Christ. An emphasis is put on the diligence and determination that the Christian life requires as we follow after our Savior.

I loved this book. I can't stand Christian preachers/writers/friends who pretend that now they have Christ they never had a previous life and temptations. I often think we can be in denial as to who we are and how we are made. This book reminds its reader of that in a lighthearted way. If you are a Christian who is struggling with try to stay in the light, then read this. You will feel better about who you are and laugh at what you do. I found that while I was trying to be faithful to my faith t...

Just Like Jesus written by Max Lucado was a great easy read! I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about how to be just like Jesus. Each chapter starts with a relevant verse from the bible, a personal experience from Lucado and exploration of a particular theme. The themes included forgiveness, compassion, listening, contact with God, worship, focusing on Jesus, honesty, the mind, finding hope, heaven and finishing the journey strong. There are questions at the end to reflect

For many Christians, the phrase "Come as you are" is popular. The problem, however, is the misconception that it's okay to stay that way. I love how this book addresses the need to change and become more like Jesus, more like the one we follow. Max Lucado identifies key areas of Christ's character that we can emulate, but only if we keep our eyes on Him. I always appreciate how Lucado makes these lessons applicable and relatable by using anecdotes and his own personal failures and triumphs. A gr...

He loves you just the way you are , but he refuses to to leave you that way.He wants you to be just like Jesus.

This book is all about, transforming into the image of Christ. Jesus is the perfect example. He had no guilt, no bad habits, no fears, no anxiety and no sin. God wants us to be the same. God wants us to be like Him and have a heart like His. Jesus has a forgiving heart. He forgives everyone. The Lord wants us to bear with one another and forgive others as He forgave us. A compassionate heart, Jesus showed compassion on the one’s who people disliked. He intentionally reached out to those in nee...

Today I am reviewing Just Like Jesus by Max Lucado. I will be the first to admit I am not a big Lucado fan, in fact it took me several days to read the first 3 pages of this book. In order to write an honest review I knew it would require me to actually read the book, so I trudged on. Much to my surprise just a few short pages later I found I did not want to lay Just Like Jesus down! The chapters were short and pretty concise making the 12 chapters a quick read.I enjoyed the theme of each chapte...

The reason why it took me so long to read this book was that I misplaced it for several days, but wanted to read it. Most of the book was extremely interesting. My book was actually the orange paperback version, but I could not find the ISBN on Goodreads. The book emphasized over and over that enthusiasm must be part of the faith. That even means that children watching their parents in days prior to getting ready for church must "feel" that the parents are just as excited about going to church a...

I have read this previously, but I saw it in a thrift shop for $1 and at the time wasn't sure if it was one that I had read before, and figured. it wouldn't hurt. to read again.It is signature Lucado with pithy stories, then relating it to scriptural concepts.Sometimes Lucado is a bit towards the shallower end of the pool, but it is still decent writing which motivates you to live like Christ.So it still has great value, but it is more devotional and reminding the self of the truth rather than e...

Listened to audio book. I'm always inspired by Max Lucado.

I really love Max Lucado's books. Including his children's books, (which are wonderful) I've read 19 of the books he's written. I always end up feeling like I have a clearer idea of how to grow my relationship with God after reading them. This book was no exception. Lucado's main idea is that God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you there. He wants you to have a heart like Jesus. This book is all about improving and becoming closer to the example Jesus gave us. Letting go

A great book, I need to read it again and do the Bible study along side it. This was my first Max Lucado book.

"Where did we get the idea we can't change? ... If our bodies malfunction, we seek help. Shouldn't we do the same with our hearts? (p4-5)Behold the gift Jesus gives his followers! He knows what these men are about to do ... By morning they will bury their heads in shame and look down at their feet in disgust. And when they do, he wants them to remember how his knees knelt before them and washed their feet. (p19)Relationships don't thrive because the guilty are punished but because the innocent a...

This book is a blessing to me. The Max Lucado really took the time to really paint a picture of what it would be like to be like Jesus. The book challenged me on so many different levels. The There are so good lesson through out the whole book, but the one that stuck to me like glue is when Max asked me, "What if you had a normal day, but with the heart of Jesus. Would their be something about you different that people notice?" He went deep in to detail. I really enjoyed it.

Lord, May I be like You!

In this book Max teaches us how to develop a heart like Jesus’. He takes us through different aspects of Jesus’ heart (in order to show us who we are) and how He displayed them in various instances in the Bible. He calls us to yield to our heavenly Father (through personal communion with Him) to transform us into the same likeness as Jesus.This book is as potent as all books about Jesus and His gracious loving nature are, but its peak moments are when Max manages to whet our appetite for God, fo...

An excellent look at what it means to truly live like Jesus. I particularly liked the story about where the phrase "face the music" came from.

Beautiful :) :) :) :) And inspiring!!!!
