    About this audiobook

    Doesn't every day deserve a chance to be a good day? An opportunity? A shot? A tryout? An audition? A swing at the plate? After all: "This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." But what of those days when traffic snarls, airports close, friends forget, and spouses complain? Or divorce days, final exam days, surgery days, tax days, or even days when the cemetery dirt is still fresh?

    "Yes, every day," says best-selling author Max Lucado. In Every Day Deserves a Chance he unpacks Jesus' delightful formula for upgrading each of your days to blue ribbon status: saturate your day in Jesus' grace; entrust your day to His oversight; accept His direction. Grace. Oversight. Direction. G-O-D. The perfect prescription for filling your day with divine power and giving every day a chance.

      Summer: A Love Story

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      How commonly, and understandably, we lament for “one more day” when we’ve lost someone we love. I’ve often longed for such a day with my granny, or with my sister who we lost too young. In the last year, I’ve longed most for that day with my dad. If

      As usual Max allowed God to use him to remind me of another area in my life that needs prayer and working

      Awesome book! Something to listen to every day because we're surrounded with so much negativity in the world.
    • 4/5
      When I finished Every Day Deserves a Chance: Wake Up to the Gift of 24 Hoursby Max Lucado I made tweeted this:It is amazing how Christianity when done unselfishly and without bigotry has so much in common with other world religionsand I am sticking by that review. When I picked up this audio book in Florida for my drive home a few days ago I knew Max Lucado was a religious author but I didn't know to what extent and when he started spouting off Bible verses after just a few minutes of listening I wasn't sure I would make it through the whole thing. I respect all religions and are genuinely interested in how they work and what the people on the ground actually believe but I do not like to be preached to, I have spent my days in the pews of a church and have had my share of blind following, as an adult I will have no more of that. I was pleasantly surprised however to find that although Lucado was using Bible verses to back up his ideas his ideas weren't narrow minded or derogatory.The message in Every Day Deserves a Chance is smart, uplifting and realistic. People do not wake up with a smile on their face they wake up and decide to smile. Max Lucado presents the case that we should decide to smile because God made this wonderful world to live in and gave us each the opportunity to make that choice in the first place. This is by far the best openly Christian book I have ever read, if all Christians acted the way this book suggests the world would be a better place.
    • 5/5
      Great book. Max was right on target when saying to give every day a chance and make the most of it.Just give it a chance. Don't dwell or live in the past. Remember GOD stands for: G =grace,O= oversight, and D =direction which we must follow daily.What is esp nice is that there is a discussion guide at the end .
