I've read and enjoyed quite a handful of Max's books. This is far and away my favorite!

I really, really enjoyed this book. Comparing our relationship with God to a house that He has was a very concrete visual for me. I have always enjoyed Max Lucado books because in many ways he reminds me of C.S. Lewis. I appreciated many of his examples of how our Father loves us no matter what in His living room. The kitchen is a place where we can ask God to provide for us “just for today”. One of my favorite examples is how his daughter gave a pretzel to someone that had done something annoying to her dad, the author.
Overall, this book is one I would read over again. The concepts are clear and concise. I don’t agree with every single analogy that Lucado uses; that being said, I do think he makes marvelous comparisons in what we use every day (our house) and how we can use those ideas to improve our relationship with God. There was a “pondering” guide in the back that I also found helpful to make me think about my own relationship and how it can improve. My favorite chapter was the one about the furnace and how God is there with us in the fires if we allow him to be.
In summary, beautiful book.

I think this is my favorite Max Lucado book. Teaches you to pray the Lord's Prayer. Truely awesome!

A very good book that takes the Lord's prayer as a blueprint for a house and walks through each phrase of the prayer as a different room/part of a house.

Wonderful way of looking at The Lord's Prayer. I've read it three times.

For anywone who would like greater insight and meaning to The Lord's Prayer.

An excellent look at the Lord's Prayer. The chapter about getting even really spoke to me, and inspired me to make some serious changes in my way of thinking.

I have read a lot of Lucado's books and they never disappoint. This is based on the Lord's prayer and once again, presents a new and fresh perspective.

This is my second time reading this book and I loved it more the second time around.

Taking the Lord's Prayer and breaking it down into the rooms of the House of God was a creative way to see who God is and how much he loves us. From the foundation to the roof, every room has a purpose for us to draw near to God. Definitely worth the read. The study questions in the back, not so much. I couldn't concentrate on them enough to finish. When the study became more of a chore with no spiritual results, I moved on to something else.

Max Lucado's books are always simple to read because he writes as if he is sitting right across you, telling you the story himself. It's like the author is having a chat with you.

Great illustration of the Great House of God, Max! It's like we kinda know it but needed someone to re-inforce it into our souls, and you did a great job with that. I will commit to stay in the house of God forever...
