Synopsis

Join bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado as he brings to life the most important event in history: when God Came Near.It all happened in a moment--a most remarkable moment: God came near. He came not as a flash of light or as an unapproachable conqueror, but as One whose first cries were heard by a peasant girl and a sleepy carpenter. The hands that held him were not manicured, but callused and dirty. No silk. No ivory. No hype. No party. No hoopla. God came near, just for you.In God Came Near, Max reminds us that just because we want a calm life doesn't mean we'll have one. The minute you sink down in the easy chair of life, heaven pushes the remote and changes the channel:The financial aid office says "no."A doctor says "pregnant."The boss says "transfer."The test grade reads "F."The auto mechanic says "totaled."Despite the challenges we face on earth, the Bible gives us a chance to be eyewitnesses of Jesus' majesty. We can take on our problems, we can have a fresh start tomorrow, and we can rest assured in the safety of God's embrace. Christ entered our world, and, as a result, we can enter his.God Came Near invites you to travel back in time and celebrate Christ the Son of God as he became man. When you catch a vision of this incredible moment, let it mark the beginning of a new perspective, a new life, and a new appreciation for Jesus. Because when you see the truth of his life, it will change yours forever.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! I really enjoyed this book. Lucado draws you in with short stories that paint an elegant picture. These short stories fill the book with great life lessons that anyone can relate too. This book is a two part book the first part focuses on stories in the Bible especia......more

Goodreads review by Chautona on December 13, 2021

I've loved this book for thirty years. It's not a complicated look into faith or an exegesis of any topic. No... it's a simple look at a magnificent--or should I say MAJESTIC--God. From "branch sitting" to questions for Mary to a blind beggar in Brazil, Lucado takes tiny moments and extracts lessons......more

Goodreads review by Erin on September 27, 2008

Great short stories that are Lucado's take on stories about Christ throughout the new testament. Makes a good bedside book if you want a short 3-5 page story to read when winding down for bed. Keeps you focused on the important stuff.......more

Goodreads review by Glen on June 08, 2020

A book that tries to explain how the historical Jesus dealt with people, and how he might be perceived today. Not bad, if you're in the audience.......more

Goodreads review by Dale on June 16, 2013

An enjoyable, short read I had just ended a book and was casting about for something to read in my big pile of books in the closet. I came up with God Came Near more as a "Why not?" choice than anything else. I've seen different versions of this book around for years, but I'd never picked it up.......more
