3.5 stars- interesting meditation on the Lord's prayer. I didn't entirely buy the house analogy central to the book, but it is well-executed

A very informative and accessible look at the Lord's Prayer. I think that as I repeat this prayer in the future, I will be more fully engaged and appreciative of each line.

Great read using the Lord’s Prayer as a map for visiting God’s house. Each room reveals a unique aspect of His love and care for us, His children. As we abide in His love and journey through each room we grow in understanding of His perfect love, Has agape love for us. What joy He brings because of who He is who loves us! Well done Max!

Similar to “My Heart, Christ’s Home,” Lucado takes us through the rooms of our heart, one by one, showing us how God meets us there in a unique way. This was my “Sunday reading” book, great for meditation and contemplation!

If you like Max Lucado this book delivers his usual mix. He reflects on the Lord's Prayer through the extended metaphor of a home. The attic is this part of the prayer, the kitchen is this part and so on. One thing to note: lots of people read his stuff for the stories (pastor's use them for sermon illustrations). "The Great House of God" has fewer stories than most his books.

As far as I can remember, I have never not enjoyed Max Lucado books. I like his writing style, and his theology seems pretty love-centered. This book was really interesting to me because I never learned the Lord's prayer growing up, and it has always seemed suuuuuper dry; this book gave a great way of thinking about the Lord's prayer, and I'll actually use the information I found in this book. He did use one problematic analogy on p. 165, so my score isn't quite a full 5 stars, but it's close.

Amazing book, well put together.

max has an awesome way of explaining the things of God!

The bible teaches that in our Lord's house there are many mansions, and one of them can be ours. Using the rooms in one of these mansion, Max Lucado brings The Lord's prayer to life. Walking into the living room, noting the foundation, entering the observatory, room by room a greater understanding of the power of the Lord's prayer and God's promises are made clear.

Awesome.
I listened to it twice in two days.
Max has a soothing voice and a down to earth message.

I really love this work of Max Lucado's. It's not without some problematic theology, but it's one of those works I've gone back to over time that deeply inspires my own, personal faith.

I learnt that God wants me to live in Him, He wants to be my home.
