Max Lucado’s book,
No Wonder They Call Him the Saviour is the latest gift that I received as part
of the Booksneeze Bloggers. Max takes the reader on a journey to better
understanding the purpose of the cross and the reason for salvation. The book
starts off with someone posing the question “What really matters?” and Max walks through all aspects of the crucifixion
and the story of Salvation. Every chapter it seems is written in a different
style to keep the reader engrossed in the story. Every viewpoint of every
person that played a part and was present at the crucifixion is explored.
Nothing about this
book is ordinary, except for the possibility of the language that is used. I
enjoyed reading the story in a plain English sense, using plain words to tell
an extraordinary story. I found myself imagining myself as one of the
characters of the chapter. Even though I had heard the story of the journey to
the cross, and the reason for the crucifixion this story made me think time and
again of all the “ordinary” moments that occurred at the crucifixion that we
often take for granted. Overall this book was a pleasure to read and I can see
myself rereading it time and again.
