Beyond Heaven's Door By Max Lucado


Beyond Heaven's Door
By Max Lucado

One of the smaller of Max's books I have read, yet this had the Biggest impact.

Max openly and honestly shares the bible and how it says what Heaven will be like.

There are many rooms in my Father's House; I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me so that you may be where I am. (John:2-3)

Max talks about us having new bodies.  
corruption, dishonor and weakness- changing to incorruption,glory and power.
Max questions us.. can we argue with these words? I know I can't.
Another question? Can you imagine a world with out sin?  If you can.. than you can imagine Heaven.
Earlier I said that this book hit me BIG... well I am broken.. in many ways.. as we all are.
Reading this book has helped me to see that yes one day I will run with 2 legs.. both of my own body and not as now one that is man made...
He will transfigure these wretched bodies of ours into copies of his glorious body (philppians 3:21 TJB

This little book is a new friend..

THE HOUSE THAT LOVE BUILT


Hi, I received this book for free from www.booksneeze.com.
With the promise that I would read and review it.
I have read many of Beth Wiseman’s books. This was a very good book showing forgiveness.


The Home That Love Built
Beth Wiseman
Booke Holloway is a single mom to Spencer and Meghan. Her Husband had passed away a couple years ago. Brooke works at the local hardware store. Her husband had his own store, which is right across the street from the hardware store. Brooke is struggling with letting go.
Owen Saunders is new to town. He just bought a big old house. Being single, people in this small town wonder why he would buy such a huge house. He tells them he just wants to take his time and fix it up.
Hunter is the “bad” kid in town. Having had robbed the hardware store when Brooke was works.  No one knows what Hunter’s life is really like at home. His parents are drug addicts and in treatment in another town. His grandmother drinks and is also dying of cancer.
Brooke’s mom and dad. She was close to her mom and hates her dad. Till for reasons she did not understand at first, brought them back together.
Uncle Denny, Owen’s Uncle. I wonderful addition to the family.

John Hadley- I think you need to read the book for this one.
Lauren – A special little girl, that brought love together.

All of this people are lost in their own little ways. Brooke is fighting letting go of her husband. Owen is struggling to forgive his ex wife. Hunter, who feels alone and useless. Brooke’s mom, who has found forgiveness.
