“God Will Use This for Good: Surviving the Mess of Life” by Max Lucado is a powerful and inspiring quick read. Max, a well-known Christian author, offers comfort and hope to those struggling with life’s challenges.

In this book, he reminds us that God is always with us, even in the middle of our darkest moments. He encourages readers to trust God’s plan, even when life seems spiraling out of control. Max shares biblical wisdom to help readers see that even the most difficult situations can be used for good.

One of the things I appreciated most about this book is his honesty. He doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles of life, but he also doesn’t leave readers feeling hopeless. Instead, he offers a message of hope and healing grounded in faith.

Favorite Quotes from Max

“You’ll get through this. It won’t be painless. It won’t be quick. But God will use this mess for good. In the meantime, don’t be foolish or naive. But don’t despair, either. With God’s help, you will get through this.”

“God as master weaver, Master builder. He redeemed the story of Joseph. Can’t he redeem your story as well?”

Does God guarantee the absence of struggle and the abundance of strength? Not in this life. But he does pledge to reweave your pain for a higher purpose.”

“You can’t control the weather. You aren’t in charge of the economy. You can’t undo the tsunami or unwreck the car, but you can map out a strategy. Remember, God is in this crisis. Ask him to give you an index card–sized plan, two or three steps you can take today.”
