Book Review of "His Name is Jesus" by Max Lucado


What a lovely book! I was won over at the mention of Lucado’s name! Besides being an aesthetically beautiful book, it is also superbly compiled. The pictures captured me, the words, even though they are excerpts from other books Lucado has written drew me in as I again encountered the birth, life and death of Jesus. This book is captivating to any age. Even my 2-year-old sat quietly with me as we paged through the book and read about Jesus.

This hard cover gift book is beautifully presented. It comes complete with a sturdy slide-in cover to keep it protected. While I know the story of Jesus’ life, I was reminded by this book of how completely human He was. It is easy to read, and is nicely laid out so that one could read it in short pieces or as a devotional. While this is definitely a beautiful coffee table book, it meant far more than I expected to me. It’s a non-threatening journey of Jesus’ life which even skeptics would be tempted to delve into a little. I honestly loved this book and would recommend it as a gift for anyone at any age.
