About this audiobook
We applaud men for doing good things.
We enshrine God for doing great things.
But what about a man who does God things?
One thing is certain. We can't ignore him. If these moments are factual, if the claim of Christ is actual, then he was, at once, man and God.
The single most significant person who ever lived. Forget MVP. He is the entire league. The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity's best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him.
Dismiss him? We can't. Resist him? Equally difficult. Why would we want to?
Don't we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus?
Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book by one of my favorite authors.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting reading.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In his usual compelling and highly visual style Lucado muses on how Jesus is our "Next Door Savior"--a savior who mixes with the ordinariness of our lives. As usual, Lucado creates scenes and uses words in such a way as to touch the heart and make you think about Spiritual things in new ways. There's a reason why he is one of the best selling Christian authors of our day--it's because he has an incredible talent. A study guide for individuals or groups is also included in the back of the book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Next Door Savior is an excellent read for anyone. Have you ever felt disconnected from Jesus? Have you ever wondered if he really understands what we go through? Max Lucado does a great job at answering those questions in this book.
