About the
book:
Glory Days (Thomas Nelson, September 2015)
The
wilderness. Maybe you know it well.
The
Israelites sure did. After all, they spent forty years wandering the desert.
Victories were scarce. Progress was slow. They were free from Pharaoh but not
free from fear. Saved but stuck.
Sounds a lot
like midlife misery. Caught in a rut. Stalled out. Running on empty. Are you
mired in the same?
You can name
the day you became a Christian and escaped Egypt. But you can't remember the
last time you defeated a temptation or experienced an answered prayer. You're
fighting the same battles you fought the day you came to Christ. You're out of
Egypt, but Egypt's not out of you.
Isn't the
Christian life supposed to be better than this?
Jesus offers
abundant joy. Yet you live with oppressive grief. The epistles speak of grace.
You shoulder guilt. You are more than a conqueror yet are commonly conquered by
temptation or weaknesses.
But there's
good news. With God's help you can close the gap between the person you are and
the person you want to be. Like Joshua and the Israelites, you can move from a
wilderness existence into a promised inheritance.
This is God's
vision for your life. You, at full throttle. You, as you were intended. You, as
victor over the Jerichos and giants. You, minus the stumbles, hurts, and hate.
You and your
Promised Land life.

author:

million readers have found comfort in the writings of Max Lucado. He

his wife, Denalyn, and a sweet but misbehaving mutt, Andy.
Margie’s Comments: In Glory
Days, Max Lucado takes us through a study of Joshua as he led the Hebrew
nation into their Promised Land. The author contends that believers are all
called into their personal promised lands, and he discusses the principles of
faith and obedience exhibited by Joshua and the Hebrews that enabled them to
embrace all that God was giving them. As I read this book for review, I
realized once again that God’s timing is perfect. The study of the book of
Joshua is exactly what I needed right now. The author’s emphasis on the
importance of the Word and the character of God and God’s desire that we each
claim the inheritance He has given us through Jesus Christ in salvation are
reminders of how I am to live each day. Glory
Days is a book that I will read more than once in order to absorb the
biblical principles the author emphasizes. I want to live each day to the
fullest, knowing that no matter what circumstances and trials I may face, these
are truly God’s Glory Days here on earth.
