Reviews for When God's Story Becomes Your Story
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As with all of Lucado's books, this one is well written and contains a number of compelling personal stories. In my opinion, the book started well but then the last 2/3 had some interesting comments and stories but failed to do any deep development. Since Lucado is writing inspiration rather than theology, this does fit in with the format...but it left me wanting more.

Dear friend,
Everything changes when you know the rest of your story.
As Israel’s King David discovered, GOD rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes
(2 Samuel 22:25 MSG). But what is the text of our lives?
The question is not a new one. Self-help gurus, talk-show hosts, and magazine headlines urge you to find your narrative. But they send you in the wrong direction. Look inside yourself,
they say. But the promise of self-discovery falls short. Can you find the plot of a book in one paragraph or hear the flow of a symphony in one measure? Can you uncover the plot of your life by examining your life? By no means. You are so much more than a few days between the womb and the tomb.
Your story indwells God’s. This is the great promise of the Bible. It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone
(Ephesians 1:11 – 12 MSG).
Above and around us God directs a grander saga, written by his hand, orchestrated by his will, unveiled according to his calendar. And you are a part of it. Your life emerges from the greatest mind and the kindest heart
