Book review: Just Like Jesus by Max Lucado

I must admit that I love reading books written by Max Lucado. I love how he use his typical writing style, humor, and extensive use of passages in the Bible and how he interacts it with the current life. This is maybe one of the reasons why I could say that he makes the reading of profound Christian truths easy to follow and even enjoyable. 



In his book "Just Like Jesus", Max takes us on a journey to restore our hearts. He welcomes us to a question that will really challenge us to think: "What if, for one day, Jesus were to become you?" How would you answer this?

For me, the most striking truth I've read from this book is this:

"God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be JUST LIKE JESUS. God loves you just the way you are. If you think His love for you would be stronger if your faith were, you are WRONG. If you think His love would be deeper if your thoughts were, WRONG again. DON'T CONFUSE GOD'S LOVE WITH THE LOVE OF PEOPLE. The love of people often increases with performance and decreases with mistakes. Not so with God's love. HE LOVES YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE." (emphasis mine)

Max's intentions are very clear. he want the reader to be able to grasp the idea that God loves us and that He wants us to be just like his Son" pure, blameless and obedient. Max also gives hope that we can do this by trusting our lives to HIM and just follow His Word, the Bible.

I would highly recommend this book to my family and friends. It's very easy to understand yet full of hopeful topics.

Live Your Style with Adidas NEO



A moody person, that's what I am.  My wardrobe ought to have plenty of selection to precise completely my different moods. I am a type of girl who expresses her personality through style by wearing different clothes and showing who I really am.

Living my style is a state of mind. Fashion talks, it can be an understated whisper, a high-energy scream or an all knowing wink and a smile. Most of all, it is about being comfortable with yourself, translating self-esteem into a personal style.

Fashion is a means of self-expression that allows people to try on many roles in life.


I can be agent sometimes


A seductive woman


A cowgirl
A wacky
See, I can express my style by trying to play different roles and just BE FREE!

Most importantly, I live my style by being connected to other people. And I found this real connection with NEO because it is about fashion, freedom and being true to who you are. 

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.  The first step is showing who you are, and one of the great ways to showcase yourself is through fashion. For me style is an adventure, something to have fun with and NEO believes this too.

I Communicate Vividly

I took an online quiz to find out what communicator am I at What Kind of Communicator are You.

Based from my answers, the result was:


You love language and communicating. You are the first to try a new word or saying.
You are a persuasive communicator and know how to influence people. You are inspiring and even poetic.
You tend to use analogies, stories, and interesting phrases. You know how to evoke the right emotions.
While you love to talk, you are also a good listener. You like conversations... not monologues!

I just don't agree with "you know how to evoke the right emotions". I just don't think I am that type of person.
How about you? Do you know what type of communicator are you?

Are You Prepared?

"ALWAYS be ready to answer everyone who asks you to explain about the HOPE you have"- 1 Peter 3:15

Peter wrote that in a small group of Christians who, at that time, were persecuted and were being laughed at for being Christians. and one point of Peter is this: ALL OF US should be prepared to tell others how we know God is REAL and how He made us into a New creation through Jesus Christ.

Have you we thought through what we would say to someone who wants to have a personal relationship with God?

Do we have a couple of Bible verses memorized that we could share with them?

Would we be ready to pray with them?

In about two months, I, together with my church mates, am going to a camp. There will be lots of youth that are lost and are hungry for Salvation. The question is, am I equipped enough to go to that battle? How about you? Are you prepared? Let's say you don't have camps like that. Is camp site the only place you could share the Gospel? Even if you just walk outside, there's a girl in the street. She's crying. There's a man whose faith is dying. Love is calling you. Ready your self and rise up!

Keep a Journal

This is a quick post and I just want to share to you the importance of keeping a journal with this wonderful quotation.


A valuable success from a renowned business philosopher Jim Rohn:

"If you are serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured and unique individual - KEEP A JOURNAL. When you listen to something valuable, write it down."

That's why I encourage you to keep a journal. Our minds cannot completely store all our memories. So I say, write your hearts down in a notebook.

A Danger to Your Soul

A Danger to your soul in our prosperous society is to value possessions more than people--and more than a relationship with God.

I remember what Henry Ward Beecher once said, "He is rich or poor according to what he is, NOT according to what he has."

Let's evaluate ourselves at this time. Do we ever struggle with greed and materialism? Have we been so attached to the things in this world? Do we value earthly possessions more than our relationship with God?

Hebrews 13:5 says, " Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. God has said, 'I will never leave you; I will never forget you.'"
