You Can be Everything God Wants you to Be by Max Lucado

This is an excellent book for high school graduates, even people who are searching for a new way of living. Lucado provides excellent Biblical Scriptural bases for his guidelines. He speaks for the uniqueness of each individual and urges each to search for that uniqueness. He talks about each person having a divine spark.

One of my favorite parts of the book is entitled "Am I stretching theology?" It gave me pause to think about the coincidental roles that each of us play in the lives of others, sometimes unaware of the fact that we are acting out God's hands on the earth.

I appreciated the author in his use of words and phrases such as "God gave you, not a knapsack, but a knack sack." These phrases were all used to provide support for the cogent points. The book is fast-reading but it causes the reader to stop and think along the way. The illustrations are very effective and appropriate.
