Here master storyteller Max Lucado weaves ten wonderful, captivating tales that reveal the hopes, hurts, hardships, and very real needs of the ordinary people Jesus met. He shows how rather than meeting their expectations, Christ exceeded them - remarkably, surprisingly, and lovingly. This moving book on tape reveals a God who often does the unexpected amidst the ordinary.
Why does the Bible contain so many stories of hurting people? Though their situations vary, their conditions don't. They have nowhere to turn. Yet before their eyes stands a never-say-die Galilean who majors in stepping in when everyone else steps out. Lucado reminds us that the purpose of these portraits isn't to tell us what Jesus did but rather to remind us what Jesus still does.
These are more than just Sunday school stories or romantic fables. They are not somewhere-over-the-rainbow illusions. Author Max Lucado invites us to relive these stories with him. To be reminded that the God who spoke still speaks. To know that the God who forgave still forgives. The God who came still comes. He comes into your world. He comes to do what you can't. He comes to move the stones you can't budge. He still moves stones.
