Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

Ever wonder if you’ve stumbled one too many times for God to use someone like you? Could you benefit from an encounter with God’s unending, unbending, unswerving love and devotion?

If your answer is yes, it’s time for you to see how God’s grace transformed Jacob’s life. And if you feel undeserving of God’s grace, this book will serve as a refresher course on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things.

God Never Gives Up on You is for the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel; we mean well, but we don’t always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures. But where can we find examples of God’s steadfast grace?

No one is more suited to help assure you of God’s grace than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Weak on conscience. Jacob took advantage of his famished brother and pulled the wool over the eyes of his dying father, yet God never turned his back on Jacob. And he won’t turn his back on you. If you are ready to start counting on God’s grace and believe he never gives up on you, this book is for you.

Encouraging book!

I can relate to these characters—feeling like I’ve failed too much for God to use me, but this book brings out the fact that God really does use “broken vessels.” Max is also an amazing wordsmith—he uses very vivid illustrations.

Love it

I love listening to Max. He gives me so much peace and comfort throughout my day as I take care of my terminally ill husband.

God’s grace and ever lasting love.

Nothing. I found this to be a very satisfying book. Max’s humor and personal stories made it even better to listen to.

My am like Jacob

Max Lucado does it again! This book explains, through scripture, how much we are loved by God. Jacob was a scoundrel on so many levels, yet God never gave up on him. There’s so much love, hope , and peace demonstrated in this book. I needed to hear it.

Inspires

Max hides no cracks, blemishes, or shortcomings in the story of Jacob. I will be reading this again and again.

Grace

I’m not alone struggling with the things that I should not do. I relate very well with Paul.

Grace! The scandalous Grace of God

Thank you for being vulnerable about your story Pastor Max. You made Jacobs's humanity more relatable than any pastor I've learned from.

Just what we all need to hear.

When you feel all your past and mistakes closing in listen to this. Reminds us we are all sinners always. But Gods grace never leaves. He is always with us.

An excellent reminder of amazing grace!

I just finished listening to this audio recording, and Max Lucado did not disappoint! I feel like I’m breathing lighter. This is a message so needed in this world today! As I accept this grace for myself, I feel inspired to offer it generously to others. The story of Jacob was really interesting to dive into and witness God’s grace and relentless pursuit despite Jacob’s shortcomings.

Great Reminder of God’s Truth

Mr. Max,
Thank you for another wonderful reminder of God’s love and grace. He has truly blessed you with a gift for delivering his truths. I loved this book and the lessons.
