Unsure of what to do with your life? You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be will inspire you and put you on the right path.
The book by Max Lucado is a small, 127 pages on 5″ x 7″ paper. I suppose this would be considered a gift book. But it’s filled with valuable principles and makes you think. How are you unique? Why did God make you the way you are? What is your purpose? What are your strengths? The main message of the book is to help us discover how we are uniquely made by God for a purpose.
As with all Max Lucado books, this book is easy to read and to the point. It contains entertaining stories and metaphors to illustrate each principle. I particularly liked the chapter on Unpacking Your Bag. “You were born prepacked. God looked at your entire life, determined your assignment, and gave you the tools to do the job.” (p. 27)
However, the book is a little disjointed. I understood why when I read a line on the title page – “Selections in this book are taken from Cure for the Common Life.” This book does not read like a complete book, rather it’s more like a simple inspirational book that hits on some main points.
I would recommend this book to those who do not normally like to read. For those who want more content, this book will not satisfy. Get a full version Max Lucado book instead.
