Book Review: You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be by Max Lucado

What a timely book!

Between the current economy and the upcoming graduation season, you’ll think of many people you’ll want to give this latest book from Max Lucado.


Written for those times when you find yourself searching for “what comes next,” Lucado guides you to your “sweet spot” – that place where your passion explodes into the effortless joy of living life as you were meant to be.


A few months into unemployment, I found myself at a job fair where an executive career coach was volunteering. He gave me his phone number and his standard assignment – working through a famous career guide to reveal what I’m truly meant to be. Up against several hundred pages of reading with 30 or 40 fairly extensive exercises, I finished several weeks later, much more tired but no better informed.


But like spending a quiet afternoon talking with an old friend, Lucado taught me more about myself in a few hours than the standard guides did in weeks. You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be is the friendly wisdom I’ve been looking for. I wish I had found it sooner.
