With his poignant stories and illustrations, Mr. Lucado reaches out to his readers in a personal and transforming way. The reader feels like Mr. Lucado is sitting in the same room, discussing matters of the heart in a calm and caring demeanor.
I love his style of writing.
Using Psalm 23, Mr. Lucado shares how we are carrying burdens that should and need to be released to God.
Very interesting approach to the 23rd Psalm!
Study guide questions are included in the back.
Here is a list of the burdens and the corresponding phrase/verse:
1. the burden of a lesser God -The Lord

4. the burden of weariness- He makes me to lie down in green pastures
5. the burden of worry-He leads me beside the still waters.

7. the burden of guilt-He leads me in the paths of righteous for His name's sake.
