You'll Get Through This Review


You’ll Get Through This Review


You’ll Get Through This is Max Lucado’s most recent book. He takes the story of Joseph from the Bible and parallels it to modern life. Evil, Satan plans for us, is always turned to good by a gracious God. The reader sees this in the story of Joseph. Joseph was favored, hated, sold, enslaved, falsely accused, imprisoned, forgotten and then exalted. So many of us go through similar situations that leave us feeling the way Joseph did at times. Did our God abandon us when bad things happened? No. He is always there, He is always working to turn evil to good. He loves us.
    Max Lucado has long been a favorite author of mine. He is talented in writing the books for the everyday person to understand who God is & what He does. Biblical understanding is a blessing the reader can receive by reading Mr. Lucado’s book. I was not disappointed by this book. Jesus is the one who receives the glory in the story of Joseph. My favorite part is the parallels Max wrote between Joseph and Jesus.  An ordinary man (Joseph) went through one hardship & trial after another yet he remained faithful to God. Can’t we do the same?
