This was my first Lucado book experience. I was intrigued by his Grace for the Moments devotional I am doing and picked up this book. Honestly I was sincerely disappointed! It was by no means revelatory, as what I look for in Christian non-fiction. I'm going to give Max the benefit of the doubt and hope not all his books are mashed up stories. I'd much rather read someones thoughts than a basic themed recollection of stories. The stories weren't bad and didn't make for hard or boring reading, it...

I never thought I'd say this about anything Max Lucado wrote, but I found this book hard to read. There was no...pattern. It was like he took his musings and threw it into a book.

This man has the ability, bordering on amazing, to relate Biblical stories of long ago to the present day and make them come to life. It's hard to relate to Moses, perhaps, but maybe you could relate to the former CEO of a huge company who killed a mugger and spent many years in hiding, working as a night janitor in the same building where he formerly presided at high-level meetings. Not every piece of writing in this book struck me as brilliant, but there were some great moments to be sure. Por...

This was the first Lucado book I ever read. It is by far my favorite of his.

Marking a Max Lucado book as read is difficult because they call you back, again and again, to inhale God's Spirit and listen for the wisdom contain in a Lucado book. Simple, yet complex. Rich in images and examples. When God Whispers Your Name is a must-read.

"When God Whispers Your Name" By: Max Lucado - Book Review We have all been there at one point in time or another losing faith or possibly losing our way. For some of us it becomes gradually harder to find your way back to keeping the faith & staying on the right track with our christianity. What if I told you there was a book by the widely known Max Lucado, that could easily inspire you to do better, & to understand that there is hope even in the darkest corner? Well I am going to tell you just...

Very good, easy to read book that will build up your spirits. It's good-natured and positive, reaffirming the spirit of a Christian reader who needs help as they take the walk. You don't have to fear that you will get behind and have trouble picking this book up if you haven't read it in a while. It is written as self-contained chapters that can be picked up and read on a casual basis. Highly recommended for the Christian in need of uplifting, faith-affirming, and positive inspirational reading....

I haven't read anything by Max Lucado in years, and I had a hard time getting into this. He has so many good things to say, and I think his teaching is solid, but his writing is a little choppy for me. I imagine he's a good speaker, because he gets to the point quickly and uses lots of illustrations. Just not my style of literature.

Max always have a way of using humor with his story telling as they relate to the Word. I seem to retain his message better through this concept.

Each chapter is an individual story. Was ok-didn't light me up.

Uplifting, down-to-earth, rational and refreshing. Max Lucado's work is heart-changing, but they are gradual, gentle revelations - one barely notices the seeds being planted. A simple, humerus, humble HUMAN approach that is a true gift to read. Lucado gently relays truths about our Father that had me in tears more than once. He truly is a good God - and by the end of it, i felt as if Max and I had had a conversation about Him - rejoicing in our Father and the endless joy of having God Whisper Ou...

I have read quite a lot of Max Lucado's books, and enjoyed every one, so when this one was available to review I decided to grab it. It is a collection of unrelated stories which weave together through the common theme that God cares for you, and wants to be closer to you and lead you, you just need to have faith in Him. For example, the first story is of a man who used to be some kind of high-powered executive, but because he committed a big crime has been working as a humble janitor in a schoo...

Stuff I want to remember . . . Or perhaps you’ve never seen your name honored. And you can’t remember when you heard it spoken with kindness. If so, it may be more difficult for you to believe that God knows your name. But he does. Written on his hand. Spoken by his mouth. Whispered by his lips. Your name. And not only the name you now have, but the name he has in store for you. A new name he will give you . . . but wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ll tell you about your new name in the last...

The book is easy to read and filled with enjoyable stories. However, when I got the book, I wasn’t aware the stories/chapters would be isolated stories or unrelated vignettes. And although I enjoy each story I think the title is a little misleading as I anticipated stories that provided instances or examples of “God Whispering Your Name.” What I found instead was a book about faithful advice.

I like Lucado's ability to talk about figures and stories and concepts in the Bible and discuss them in modern terms. The janitor who used to run the head office - why that's not so different from Moses's story now, is it? Paul wasn't much as far as heroes go, was he? Died with just a few letters to his name. But those letters, written to encourage the churches in their infancy in Ephesus, Thessalonica, Phillipi, will be read in every language for thousands of years to come. What a pleasure to r...

This was a simple read with a good number of truths. For being a religious book it lacked in the area of Biblical support. The author was confusing with the use of multiple Bible versions when scripture was used. I was not overly impressed with the writing.

I remember reading this once before, but as I came to read it again I found I couldn't remember much about it. Now that I've finished this second read I can understand why I haven't remembered too much. It's not that When God Whispers Your Name is a bad book, it just winds up being a fairly average one.The book is written with a focus on giving people hope. Particularly hope to keep their faith and understand that God knows them, loves them, and is there for them. This is done by presenting a nu...

If Max Lucado had been around when the Book of Proverbs was being written, maybe he could have contributed some. That was my thought near the end of When God Whispers Your Name , a collection of short readings with hopeful messages. Either that or maybe a Christian version of Aesop’s Fables.Containing 28 stories, Lucado continues to impress me with his ability to take seemingly random topics and make them relevant. From a description of anger at a noisy cricket to fictionalized accounts of Old T...

This was a good read short read. There was a couple of things I took away from this book. The first is my favortie, and that is the chaper about Jesus going to parties. First Jesus was invited, which implies he was liked and probably was fun to hang around. He mentions that Jesus went to the wedding to simply have fun. He was in the desert for 40 days, dealt with the devil and many other situations that warrant a rest and a good time. This is an angle I have never heard or thought about.Next, is...

This was the first book I have read by Max Lucado and it was life changing! This book talks about various situations that every Christian has gone through at some point in their life. Through these life-changing situations Lucado explains how God is present even when we feel like he is absent. He provides excerpts of scripture in each chapter showing how God is always nearby not just for us but for all of mankind. The book ties in scripture, humor, and impeccable writing in each chapter. Each ch...
