The Numbers of Hope, John 3:16

Christian best selling author and pastor, Max Lucado has done it again. On September 11, 2007, Max Lucado released his highly anticipated book, John: 316, The Numbers of Hope. There are high expectations of this book as the publisher claims a one million first print run.

It is hoped that this book and it's campaign will help to turn more people to the Lord. The verse John 3:16 is thought to sum of the essence of Christianity better than any other verse.

With over 50 books written and an amazing 50 million copies printed, Max Lucado is regarded as one of today's top Christian writers. There is a massive marketing campaign promoting the release of the book which was chosen to be released on 9/11. These numbers of despair starkly contrast to the numbers in the book, John 3:16, The Numbers of Hope. Lucado thinks so highly of this verse that he calls it the "Hope Diamond" of scripture.

The Bible verse, John 3:16 is probably the most famous verse in the Bible "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." The book takes that verse and runs with it. The Numbers Of Hope was written as a book that is both for those that are very familiar with the Bible and worship God, and for those that know little about the Bible and do not actively Believe in the Lord. It is written to help show the reader why it is so important to understand and live in the light of the words of John 3:16.

Lucado accurately interprets the gospel as he discusses the work of Jesus and his importance to man. The book goes into man's free will and how God gives us this will and does not force his upon us.

The book also does a good job in emphasizing that there is only one God and that Christ is the only way to Heaven. Lucado also discusses that Hell is real and goes into detail about the horrors of Hell and the joy of Heaven.

There are twelve chapters in The Numbers of Hope which deal with the verse in a way that is easy to understand and effectively communicates its message. The book concludes with 40 brief readings that are intended to be a part of a 40 day devotional. These readings are taken from Lucado's previous books

Max and Benedict $17.95 Illustrated by Donata Dal Molin Casagrande 'This lovely illustrated book for children (of all ages!) is a sequel to Joseph and Chico , the international best-seller that told the story of the life of Pope Benedict XVI from his youth through his election as the Pope. With the same award-winning author and illustrator, this lavishly illustrated book is aimed at children but in a way that even adults will enjoy. It takes up the story of Benedict's XVIs new life as the Pope. ''The narrator of this book is a blue rock-thrush that spends most of his time on the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica and in the Vatican gardens. (The scientific name of this kind of bird is Monticola Solitarius , and it really lives in Rome.) This particular bird's name is Max, and from his solitary perch, he observes everything in the vicinity. He is fascinated by one human in particular: the Pope.'Max tells readers what the Pope does on a typical day, as well as about special moments in his life, such as his vacations and apostolic trips. The book provides a delicate portrait of the Holy Fathers many responsibilities, and it helps us understand the Pope Benedict's important obligations that he always strives to carry out with love, faith and dedication. ' 'Max talks about the Pope's private and public audiences, his meetings with heads of state and with children, important liturgical moments, and the Angelus. He also describes more curious events, such as the blessing of the lambs and of a fire truck. He tells us about the moments that the Pope devotes to writing and to prayer. Max flies to see the Pope at his summer home, Castel Gandolfo, and is sorry he cannot accompany him on his important apostolic trips, but is happy each time the Pope returns to the Vatican. Max is also delighted when he sees the Pope relax a bit, playing the piano or strolling through the Vatican gardens. Max loves music, too, as do many of his friends, who live in the Vatican gardens. The lavish color illustrations throughout make this a wonderful gift book and a cherished keepsake. ''Through this wonderful story, the author presents some of the fundamental ideas of Pope Benedict XVI and the important daily life and activities of the successor of St. Peter, told in simple words that young readers can understand and enjoy.
