The book is so readable it&#8217;s almost like sitting down with Lucado and asking him these questions. Most answers are contained in one to two pages. Though the answers are short, Lucado has a way of getting to the heart of the issue without giving trite responses. However, given the nature of Q &amp; A, you can&#8217;t expect a full in-depth treatment of the topic, but with Lucado&#8217;s sharp insights, it&#8217;s enough to satisfy.<\/p>\n<p>The topics of the Q &amp; A are categorized into seven chapters &#8211; Hope, Hurt, Help, Him\/Her, Home, Haves\/Have-Nots, Hereafter. The best thing is the topical index in the back. You can search for the question you may be asking. For example, if you have a question about choosing your vocation, search Vocation, and you see three listings under &#8220;choice of&#8221; and one listing under &#8220;honoring God in&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>While I enjoyed the book, I&#8217;m not sure if it has wide appeal. I would rather buy a book that addresses the specific topic I&#8217;m most interested in, rather than having a book that touches on a lot of topics, many of them do not relate to me.<\/p>\n<p>Disclosure:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thomasnelson.com\/consumer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Nelson <\/a>provided me with a complimentary copy  of this book for this review.
