The Great House of God by Max Lucado

The Great House of God by Max Lucado is a book that uses the metaphor of a house to walk through the Lord's prayer line by line.  The breaking down of such a familiar passage of scripture is a great way to catch the details that are often missed due to our frequent reading and speaking of the passage.  Max uses his comfortable and familiar style to guide his readers room by room through the details and promises that are contained within this powerful prayer.

I really enjoy the writings of Max Lucado, but with this book, I wish he would have gone into some more depth on the different sections of the prayer.  It often felt like he was just skimming the top of what he could be talking about.  What he had to say was very good, but I was left hoping for more.  A nice bonus with this book is the study guide at the back of the book that would make this very helpful for a small group or book study that would easily facilitate a deeper study of the materials.
