Max Lucado is one of my favorite writer. I love to read book, buku apapun yang bisa menarik perhatian gua. Walaupun sayangnya waktu untuk membaca sudah makin berkurang seiring menumpuknya pekerjaan dan perhatian yang harus dibagi-bagi.
Below is one of the teaser at the back of Max Lucado’s book with title “Six Hours One Friday”
WHEN A HURRICANE STRIKES, GOOD SAILORS KNOW TO ANCHOR DEEP.
At times in your life, you’ve been caught by life’s storms.
Maybe you’re going through one right now.
PERHAPS THE STORM IS FUTILITY.
You have a house, a good job… a little money in the bank. But external success doesn’t answer the question that keeps you awake at night:
“What is the meaning of it all?”
PERHAPS THE STORM IS FAILURE.
You blew it. You let everyone down. You did the very thing you swore you’d never do.
PERHAPS THE STORM IS FINALITY.
You are suddenly separated from the one you deeply love.
Tears. Words. Flowers. Dirt. Open grave.
No matter what the strom clouds bring, you can face your pain with courage and hope. For two thousand years ago – six hours, one Friday – Christ firmly planted in bedrock three solid anchor points that we can all cling to:
Our lives are not futile. Our failures are not fatal. Our deaths ar not final.
For the heart scarred with futility, that Friday holds purpose. For the life blackened with failure, that Friday holds forgiveness. And for the soul looking into tunnel of death, that Friday holds deliverance.
WHAT DO THOSE SIX HOURS HOLD FOR YOU?
