This story, excerpted from Next Door Savior, will become the Easter giveaway book for churches next spring-in the vein of He Did This Just for You.
In this story a woman gives her garbage of shame to the trashman; an old man hands over his heavy bag of regrets. Hundreds walk to the landfill and find it filled with trash.
“Give it to me. Tomorrow. At the landfill. Will you bring it?” He rubs a moist smudge from her cheek with his thumb and stands. “Friday. The landfill.”
“You can’t live with this,” he explains. “You weren’t made to.”
For individuals and churches, here is a beautiful story of a Savior who can take all our garbage on his shoulders-and amazingly, still stand!
In addition to this story, Max explains in easy-to-understand language what Christ did for us and how to turn in our old baggage and exchange it for new life in him.

Give it all to Him and move on

You will read it again and again!
I have many of his books – and he he makes you feel like you’ve known him forever. His insight and the ability to relate that insight is not just the gift of a wonderful writer and story teller but a gift from God. This book makes you want to hand out this little jewel to all your friends and family (especially at Easter) and keep a few to pass out to strangers – it’s that relevant!As with most of his books, Max has that down home Texas feel in his story telling – warm, sincere and earnest in all he shares. If you’ve never read any of his books before, this is the perfect book to start out with – it’s short, sweet and to the point. It will make you want to get down on your knees and pray for those who don’t know the Gospel, and weep tears of joy because of what Jesus has done for you!

A GREAT LEARNING TOOL
GIVE IT ALL TO HIM, A STORY OF NEW BEGINNINGS by MAX LUCADO, may be small in size, but don’t let that fool you. I was surprised when I completed this book to discover how much I had highlighted.GIVE IT ALL TO HIM is about new beginnings, forgiveness, and letting go and giving it all to God.Quote from page 26:”Listen. The weight of weariness pulls you down. Self-reliance misleads you. Disappointments discourage you. Anxiety plagues you. But guilt? Guilt consumes you.”This little book is a great tool for those far from God, as well as those that are new Christians. I volunteers are Illinois Youth Center Warrenville, and plan to use this booklet as a teaching tool for the girls. It’s a quick read, clear, and right to the point.How many of us have filled a garbage bag or two in our lives with guilt, shame, hatred, worry, resentment or unforgiveness? In GIVE IT ALL TO HIM, we learn that though some may have more bags then others, we’ve all had a garbage bag or two in our lives. It gives us not only the permission to give it to God, but the insight that He wants us to do that very thing, and the freedom it’ll bring. Something most of us need reminding at one point or another.

Moving!
I am a big fan of Pastor Max Lucado and have read a few of his books and still reading them. I have loved everyone! I love his stories and the simple way he explains the Bible and God’s love. This little book of 67 pages is wonderful, it touched deep in my heart. He speaks of all our human troubles and how we carry them around with us and explains of God’s love for us like I have never heard it explained. This is a favorite of mine for sure and I will read it again and especially when I’m needing a reminder of God’s great love for me. My opinion, everyone should read this book! Thank you Pastor Lucado.

Achei que fosse um livro em tamanho normal, mas é uma versão de bolso, porém, pelo conteúdo vale a pena.

Max does write what we need to hear/read. We do carry a lot of trash and NEED to get rid of it. We have a Saviour who is waiting and willing to take it from us. What we hold onto on the inside of us can cause sickness and pain in our lives. HE is waiting, what have you got to loose but to read this great little book
readyreader –
Such profound explanations through dramatic word pictures that clarify the message of the cross and Christ’s sacrifice. Highly recommend this read before Easter!
