        Max Luccado has a wonderful book out for children.  The art work is
by Ron Di Cinnio?   It has a letter to parents in it that made an impression
on me. I have used this same book a number of times to teach Sunday school
and childrens church with. It has a varity of different stories in it that
imphassive the creation* and the fall** and in His presence*, the
resurrection of Him  etc... the message is simple and beautiful.  I cried
and thanked the Lord for his provision of salvation. While others who have
read it have also been stirred.  I can't tell you which one is my favorite
because they are awesome!!  Next time you go the book store ask for Max
Luccados'  "TELL ME A STORY".----  This ones a keeper. ----  ( but I think
all of his books are anyway).   
           star ratings * makes you fall in love  with Our GOD again
                        ** Bring out the kleneex in praise and worship and
thanksgiving
                        *** Life changing

         I have never encountered the beatitudes in such a real life way
than I did in Max's "THE APPLAUSE OF HEAVEN"*** My kids love for me to read
to them from this book as well as his other books.

         His book "HE STILL MOVES STONES" helped me thrue a bad, emotional
vally time in my life.  People would stop me and ask if I was Okay because
of my continued pallor due to this vally.  I literally clung to this book.
It ministred to me in my deep emotional pain. Spacificly the story "Cracked
windows".

         I have managed to get a number of people here to become collectors
of his books mostly ministers and my pastor as well!!! (to bad I'm not
getting a commission, hehe).   ---- honest folks you will not be
disappointed .  These are wonderful books.

        I've given "GOD IS NEAR" and "NO WONDER THEY CALL HIS SAVIOUR"  as
gifts of wittnessing on our ONE GOD and His boundless mercy and love, more
times than I can remember.   

        Let me know what your favorite book and authors are. & What do you
think about Max's books (after! you have read one on the above).
