She shares the sorrow, fear, and hidden blessings of enduring two traumatic events within weeks of each other. She found unexpected strength in weakness, joy in the midst of sorrow, and undeniable purpose in the pain. She offers this book as a testimony to her unwavering faith in God. Her enthusiastic energy uplifts readers as she humanizes herself by sharing honest experiences and the emotions associated with them. Through thoughtful metaphors and beautiful imagery, she communicates deep messages that will resonate with and encourage you. Each chapter includes a character study of biblical giants such as Daniel, Joseph, Naomi, John the Baptist, and Jesus. You will experience their journey on literal and figurative country roads as you discover modern applications of ancient scriptural truths. Each chapter concludes with an epigram, highlighting scriptural nuggets of wisdom, and a moment of reflection designed to help you reflect and internalize the truths read from both Jody and the biblical character’s experiences. Whether you are navigating through seasons of transition and trial or need to find rest in the promises of God, this testimony offers hope.

Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99Add to cartIn this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), bestselling author Max Lucado explores the life and character of Jesus, helping participants become more familiar with the man at the center of the greatest story ever told. As Max explains in this study, for thirty-three years Jesus felt everything that we have ever felt: weakness, weariness, rejections. He got colds. His feelings got hurt. His feet grew tired. His head ached.
To think of Jesus in such terms almost seems irreverent. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. Clean up the manure from around the manger. Wipe the sweat out of his eyes. Pretend he never snored or hit his thumb with a hammer. There is something about keeping Jesus divine that keeps him distant, packaged, and predictable.
But we have to remember that by Jesus becoming human, God made it possible for us to see him and hear his voice. If we want to know what matters to God, all we need to do is look in the Bible to see what matters to Jesus. If we want to know what God is doing in our world, we need only ponder the words of Jesus. By learning more about the person Jesus was and is, we come to understand more clearly the people we were created to be.
Jesus will inspire group members to spend time at the foot of the cross and search the heart of the one who would rather die for them than live without them.
