Max on Life is a copulation of questions that Max Lucado has received over the years. It is broken into several sections. He starts his book by making the following statement that pretty much sums the up book. Weve created a question mark to highlight our questions. Its stooped and bent, perhaps questions because questions can leave us in the same shape, burdened and weary.

I found this book an easy read that can be completed in a couple of days. Compared to other Max Lucado books I did not find it as interesting. I think this would be better suited a reference book for a particular problem or question that the reader or others may ask. I lost interest in some of the questions that he included due to not pertaining to me at this moment in my life.

There were a couple of places in which I found the book to be vague or confusing with his answers. One in particular was a question that I had to read the section multiple times to grasp the answer he meant. He was referring to something that Jesus said but then referred a modern day situation. The answer made it sound as if Jesus was speaking about cars and other modern items as if he lived in todays society.

I can see the positive in the book that would help believers on their path trough todays struggles and trials. Overall the book was entertaining.
