We’ve never been more educated and entertained. We have technological tools our parents could only dream of, and we are saturated with information, amusement, and recreation. Yet more than ever, we are starving for hope. After 40 years of counseling and ministry, Max Lucado has learned that nothing lifts the desperate, weary heart like the promises of God. In a world full of despair, depression, anxiety, and instability, we do not need more opinions or hunches; we need the definitive declarations of our mighty and loving God.

Do you find it hard to believe that the One who made everything keeps your name on His heart and on His lips? Did you realize that your name is written on the hand of God (Is. 49:16)? Perhaps you've never seen your name honored. And you can't remember when you heard it spoken with kindness.

One day in the life of Christ. Call it a tapestry of turmoil: A noisy pictorial in which the golden threads of triumph knot against the black, frazzled strings of tragedy. Call it a symphony of emotions: A sunrise-to-sunset orchestration of extremes. One score is brassy with exuberance -- the next moans with sorrow. Whatever you call it -- call it real.

Common people. Maybe you heard their names in a childhood Sunday school class. They're not often the champions or the go-to sermon illustrations. They probably didn't stand at the foot of the cross or even hang next to Jesus on one of their own. But they pepper the pages of the Bible, reminding us that we're not alone. Just like you and me, these ordinary people stumbled and struggled. They faced their own sin and came face-to-face with a God who not only wipes it away, but also makes the common extraordinary.

Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a 100-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Can you imagine your life without fear?

Story
How long has your Goliath stalked you? Invaded your first thought of the morning and last worry of the night? David knows a little something about facing giants. The shepherd boy seemingly had little to offer against the nine-foot, nine-inch Goliath. You could read his story and wonder what God saw in him. Throughout his life, David fell as often as he stood, stumbled as often as he conquered. But for those who know the threat of a Goliath, David gives this reminder: Focus on giants — you stumble. Focus on God — your giants tumble.

Publisher's Summary
Are you weary? Worn out by the bills that keep stacking, a virus that keeps raging, or a heart that keeps aching? If so, the book of Esther brings welcome news: Relief will come!
To be clear, you didn't ask for this struggle. You want to get past it. You don't know how much longer you can hold up. But what if God is with you in this difficult season? When life seems off the rails, remember this truth: the minute you bow your head to pray is the moment God lifts his hand to help.
Queen Esther learned this truth firsthand. When confronted with a royal decree that would annihilate her people, she had to make some tough choices. Would she remain silent in the face of this challenge, or would she speak up? Would she blend in, or would she stand out? But after Esther spent three days in prayer and fasting, God gave her the courage to speak up. God used her to save the nation. And God can do the same with you.
In You Were Made for This Moment, pastor and New York Times best-selling author Max Lucado will help you:
- Put your hope in the God of grand reversals, trusting that God will right every wrong
- Cultivate courage for your challenging times by leaning on the God who redeems and restores
- Discover your role in God's story by exploring how God can use your experiences and circumstances to join him in his holy work
God never promised us a life without trials, but he does promise to be with us as we walk through them. Trust that he can redeem your struggles for a mighty purpose. You, friend, were made for this moment.

Do you need hope?
I’ve been in a pit of depression from facing one storm after another. I’ve been praying, reading my Bible, have close to 90 books from Christian authors in my audible library. Just when I thought I couldn’t listen to one more book, I listened to this one. Max Lucado is one of my favorite authors.
When I saw this new book, I got it.
I’ve listen to it from start to finish today as I did things around the house. For the first time in a VERY long time I felt hope. This book would be great for anybody, BUT if you are going through a hard time right now you need to get this!!!!

Max brings to life, and our remembrance, that God works ALL things for our good. He never leaves us and He never forsakes us.

With empathy and understanding, Max Lucado shows how God cares for us within our storms, struggles, sorrows, and doubts. Though we are tempted to give up, give in, or sidestep challenges, Max encourages us to be bold, patient, and trusting.

Absolutely fantastic , talk about an all inspiring book 😍
Max could touch a nation with this book. His honest aproach and his sense of purpose, hope and love are all concealed within the pages of this book. You are deeply eager to get though each page onto the next...but you can't help yourself, as find yourself going back over chapters to listen careful again to the hidden messages and spoken word of God; as the story of Esther's life unfolds. All I will say is please listen, or read, this book . It is so needed for today's world...
