You Changed My Life

You Changed My Life was sent to me by mistake by Thomas Nelson, but they allowed me to review it for them anyway.  I would never have chosen to read this book on my own; I'm not big into gift books.  I find people generally don't actually read the book itself; they may place it on the coffee table or beside their bed, but they don't actually sit down to read it in its entirety.

Max Lucado can be a bit on the fluffy side anyway, and I figured this gift book would be the same, especially since all of the content was taken from his previously published books.  This book is intended to provide several different encouraging and uplifting short stories, and surprisingly some of them are actually very good.  Others are just downright corny, and didn't really necessarily provide any encouragement to me specifically.  While most of the stories had a spiritual overtone, they mostly focused on how good people are instead of Jesus providing us with the ability to do good.  There were definitely some interesting stories from history throughout the tiny read, and I found those the most interesting.  It's definitely a fluffy read, but I guess fluffy reads have their place- just most likely not on my coffee table.
