Max Lucado's new work

The land where Jesus walked
Taken from the four gospels
Max Lucado's warm and clear stories of comfort

“Will he care about us?”
“Will Jesus come to our house too?”
“Are you still with me, God?”

A new book from Max Lucado, one of our time's greatest Bible storytellers and bestselling Christian author.
As his previous books have long done, Walking with Jesus with Max Lucado delivers a message that is warm, witty, and yet deeply insightful.
We re-establish the Christians of this era, who are tired and wounded, and wandering with anxiety and worry, on the solid foundation of the Bible.
What makes Max Lucado's Walking with Jesus unique is that it captures and tells the stories of moments spent on the road with Jesus.
He takes them to the village where Jesus was born, lets them stand beside Joseph's wandering heart, and lets them hear the inner weeping of Jairus, who was busily leading Jesus.
He walks alongside the two disciples who have just finished the funeral and are walking to Emmaus in a state of exhaustion.
With each page turn, readers can walk alongside Jesus and ponder his promises: Bethlehem, where weary travelers and shepherds met under a star-studded sky; the village on the Sea of ​​Galilee, where Jesus spent most of his time during his public ministry and which is our home; Jerusalem and Gethsemane, where he chose death for him rather than life without him.
I can willingly take a step forward when I hear His voice.

No one would have brought up the couple or wondered about the woman's condition.
People were so busy.
As a new day began, there was bread to be baked and other morning chores to be done.
There was too much to do to imagine the impossible: God coming into this world in the form of a newborn baby.

---「Chapter 1.
From "Arrival"

Joseph was extremely lonely.
What must Joseph have been thinking during that eternity of time, from then until the baby was born? He walked in the darkness, gazing at the stars.
Did Joseph pray? For some reason, I suspect he wasn't silent.
He is loitering.
He shakes his head for a moment and then shakes his fist.
This is not what he envisioned.
Maybe he didn't say this?
---「Chapter 2.
From “Living as a Carpenter’s Family”

I have a confession to make.
I don't always finish what I start.
Maybe I'm not the only one like that.
Do you have unfinished projects? Exercise equipment turned into towel racks, or pottery supplies left unopened in their boxes? What about a half-finished terrace deck or a half-planted garden? Let's not even talk about dieting or losing weight.
---From "Chapter 3 Leaving Home"

It's two thirty in the morning.
You can't sleep.
I touch the pillow and smooth out the wrinkles in the blanket.
I try turning this way and that way.
But no matter what I do, it's no use.
It's time for everyone else to sleep.
The spouse is in dreamland, and the dog is curled up and sleeping at the feet.
Everyone is asleep.
Everyone except you.

In six hours, you will walk into a new job, a new office, a new world.
You will be working as a new employee in the sales department.
I'm worried because I don't know if this is the right decision.
Time goes by slowly.
The economy is in a recession and competition is getting fiercer by the day.
Besides, you...
---From "Chapter 4: Facing Worries"

We expected Jesus to come through peaceful hymns, Easter Sunday, or spiritual training.
I expected to find Jesus during morning devotions, during fellowship at the church table, or during meditation.
I never expected to see Jesus through divorce, death, lawsuits, or prison.
I never expected to see Jesus in the storm.
But it is in the storm that Jesus works best.
Because our attention is most intense in a storm.
---From "Chapter 5: Coming into the Storm"

Most of our lives are spent rowing.
Get out of bed, prepare lunch, turn in assignments, change diapers, and pay bills.
This is our daily life.
We work hard rather than enjoy leisurely.
Rather than enjoying the rest, we wrestle with the problem.
But even so, don't give up.
Don't give up! God is too wise to forget you and too loving to hurt you.
Trust God even when you cannot see Him.
God is praying.
---From “Chapter 6: Teach, Teach, Teach”

Can Jesus really help us?
Does Jesus really care about us?
Will Jesus really come to our house?
We too have experienced the same fear as Jairus, so we understand his feelings well.
Jairus' Capernaum is our hospital, our courthouse, our desolate highway.
His dying daughter is our marriage, our career, our future, our relationship, all in sight.

---From "Chapter 7: Taking Care of Your Heart"

We often expect Jesus to get up, step forward, or climb the stairs to speak.
But instead of doing that, Jesus bowed down.
Jesus humbled himself more than anyone else, including the priests, the people, and even the woman caught in adultery.
The accusers looked down at the woman, but had to bend down further to see Jesus.

---From "Chapter 8: Bowing Down"

Your body is very tired and exhausted.
My joints ached and my muscles were tight.
The days of being healthy and strong are gone.
A storm came and ripped holes through this old tent.
A cold breeze came in through the hole and the tent tilted in the wind.
It's not as sturdy as it used to be.
No, maybe your body has never been healthy.

---From “Chapter 9: Speaking the Unchanging Truth”

Prayer is the practice of sitting quietly on God's lap and placing our hands on His steering wheel.
God controls our speed and drives us through difficult curves to safely reach our destination.
Then we ask God:
Please let this cup pass.
Let this cup of illness, betrayal, bankruptcy, unemployment, conflict, and old age pass by.
---From "Chapter 10: Among the Olive Trees in Gethsemane"

Suddenly the funeral procession stops.
The pallbearer stops, and you stop too.
A man blocks the way to the coffin.
He is a stranger.
You have never seen him.
Dressed in a corduroy coat and jeans, he is not the type of person to attend a funeral.
What on earth is he trying to do? But before you can even say anything, he comes over and speaks to you.

---From "Chapter 11: Turning Sorrow into Hope"

The questions we harbor in our hearts make us hide, but there are no answers inside the cave.
Christ gives us courage through community and dispels doubts through fellowship with other Christians.
He does not give all knowledge to one person, but distributes pieces of the puzzle of knowledge to many people.
When I add what I understand to what you understand, we can learn something new.
When we gather together, fellowship, share, confess, and pray, Christ speaks.

---From "Chapter 12 Come, Walk Together"
