review 1: While there were a couple of good messages, the rest of it sent my eyes rolling with the privileged life that this author must live in. In general, this in no way could help my bad days get any better, and in fact, could potentially be harmful.What I liked:"You can never go anywhere where God is not."i.e. God is everywhere, even in that drug house that you're raiding to find the scared child, and He is with you through it all."Challenges are opportunities."This, I felt, was a great perspective, and I may even post it somewhere at work.
review 2: I have started feeling like the great complainer when it comes to reviewing books. You'll get some of that in this one too. However, I'll direct most of the criticism to the title. First of all, it reminds me of th... moreis little ditty that a co-worker used to sing at camp about picking up trash..."All together we can make a difference, earth day every day." Like many things when you are young and full of yourself, it became a joke between my friend and me, so now I can't really take a comment with the same cadence seriously. I realize, that is strictly an issue with me. However, my other criticism may also resonate with others, and that is the title implies that every day will be wonderful--a name it, claim it sort of gospel, or that bad things don't really happen to good people. The contents of the book do not align with any of those thoughts, and I am sure that the title invites plenty of people searching in the "self-help" category, but I still think there is a better option out there.I have read this book twice, mainly because so much time has passed since reading it the first time that I did not think I could write a reasonably good review about it. I am so glad that I read it the second time. If you decide to read it and find yourself grumbling about it or not liking it, my suggestion, based on personal experience, is to put it aside for awhile and then try it again later. When I read it the first time, my take on it was that it was a bit too facile, glossing over life's problems. Upon second reading, I think I was putting my own preconceived notions into the book, because I don't think he does that. He acknowledges that life is not always sweet and beautiful, that days are filled with inconveniences and heartache. It is our approach and filter that makes the difference. If you are already a fan of Max Lucado, I am sure you will enjoy this book. He uses his typical conversational style. He uses plenty of scripture to show people in awful situations who chose to trust God. He also uses other real-life stories he has researched and accounts from his own life. In addition to the main part of the book, there are questions that would be helpful for a book group, especially if a small group decided to read the book over a few weeks. There is another section that helps with individual application, similar to a devotional. I thought these two additions to the book really added to its usefulness. Sometimes I don't like devotionals, particularly when they tell me what I should do, but I like the direct application, and the way in which the steps could help lead to change in our approach to life.Even though this book is easy to read, my suggestion is to read it slowly, perhaps over the course of a month. (The section in the back is divided into 30 different readings). The slower pace would allow for better digestion and practice of the books' concepts). I appreciate Lucado's accessibility to a wide audience, but that he does not stray away from biblical teaching or dive into a humanist mindset, which I think would have been easy for a book dealing with this subject. less
