Max Lucado has done it again. This prolific Christian writer has provided a book as the subtitle states with, Answers and Insights to Your Most Important Questions. He has taken some important life issues and expounded in 172 responses to relevant questions many have about life. I highlighted many of his statements for quick reference as I read through this book. The great thing about the book is the ability to read any one of the segments without missing any point although he has divided it into the various life themes that present questions. The themes presented go from our purpose of existence through discussions of death. Any Christian would find this a great addition to their personal library.

The Principle of the Path
The Principle of the Path, by Andy Stanley
This book is an awesome read for anyone who is willing to take a look at the journey they are on through life. I liked the simplicity of storytelling to arrive at a conclusion and application. Andy Stanley attracted my attention through television ministry years ago and I find his book to be straight-forward and applicable with much of the same poignancy as his sermons I’ve heard. Several of his comments hit a note of interest including: “To get from where we don’t want to be to where we do want to be requires two things time and a change of direction.” I particularly liked his expression of the principle of the path: “Direction—not intention—determines our destination.” I recommend this book for the person who is beginning their Christian journey as well as one who has been a follower for many years. In all it was refreshing information.

PUJOLS
Pujols, More Than the Game, by Scott Lamb and Tim Ellsworth
I selected this book to review for Booksneeze. It was a venture away from my usual genre of book reading since I am not really into any kind of sports. I found the book interesting but not really an attention grabber for me. The authors are of course trying to put a spiritual spin on the life of Albert Pujols and his baseball times. To be the remarkable player the book portrays is certainly an accomplishment for Albert. There is something to be said of his integrity through all the difficulties he faced in the world of baseball. Overall the biography was interesting. I could recommend it to those who like baseball history.
