His Name is Jesus
On 5/1 Brenda Wood wrote: His Name is Jesus This is another Max Lucado hit.Once again he takes the familiar of Christ and sets it on its edge. Phrases like 'God interrupts our lives with something we've never seen and rather than praise, we panic' force a deeper awareness of the Gospel. However to the Lucado fan, this material ... Another Hit for Lucado
The Noticer
On 5/1 Brenda Wood wrote: This book reminds me of 'The Shack." However it didn't move me quite so much. It is a pleasant quick read with some tidbits to brighten one's life.

I'll Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse
