Facing Your Giants: God Still Does the Impossible

Max Lucado uses the biblical narrative of David and Goliath to analyze the modern anxieties that overwhelm human life. Rather than focusing on the giant, the book examines David’s focus on the creator as a strategy for overcoming personal setbacks, such as unemployment, family dysfunction, or health crises. Lucado breaks down the shepherd boy’s life beyond the battlefield, examining his mistakes and his eventual restoration. The text highlights specific principles of persistence and faith, arguing that the same assistance granted to David remains available to people facing contemporary obstacles.

This book serves individuals struggling with chronic stress, fear, or a sense of failure. Readers seek this material to gain a practical perspective on biblical promises when their own resources seem insufficient. The audience walks away with a framework for shifting their mental attention from the magnitude of their problems to the capacity of their faith. It provides a blueprint for maintaining individual resilience during seasons of loss or stagnation by relying on established spiritual disciplines.

Practical, growth-minded and clear-cut; an easy read.
