Summary
*Now with brand-new content added， one of Max Lucado’s all-time bestselling books is updated for a new generation！*
Sometimes life appears to fall to pieces and can seem irreparable。 We’ve all had our fair share of disappointments， loss， or hardships。 But for every challenge there is a breathtaking promise: It’s going to be okay。 How can we know？ Because God so loved the world。
In 3:16， pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado encourages us to study closely the “Hope Diamond of the Bible”: John 3:16。
Max says of his favorite verse， “Every time I recall these words， they are fresh and as stunning as my first encounter with them。 The mind-bending awareness of God’s limitless love， his incalculable sacrifice， and the priceless teaching at the core。 How can we not review it again and again？ I want this generation， and all who come after， to look closely at the key promise of God and choose the gift beyond all gifts。”
Throughout this updated and expanded edition of 3:16， Max will invite you to:
Stand in awe of how deep， wide， long， and high God’s love is for you
Understand more fully the living hope you have through Jesus’ death and resurrection
Rest in the assurance that salvation is a gift from God， not something you can earn
If you know nothing of the Bible， start here。 John 3:16 invites you to know God’s love deeply and intimately。 And once you accept God’s love， your life will never be the same。
If you know everything in the Bible， return here。 Let John 3:16 become the banner of your life， so much so that the message of God’s unending and unbending love overflows from you to others。

I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of this book and the thoroughness that Max delves into on one Bible verse。 Most people have heard this verse and sort of glimpse at it and assume they know it and understand it。 But Max catches your attention and gives you the opportunity to really slow down and think about the impact these 26 words can have on your current and future life。 I loved it。

No matter how many times you have read through the bible or heard the story of Jesus it is always good to come back to the center。 This book takes apart John 3:16 and explains the verse in detail。 Then it goes through the life of Jesus in 40 devotionals。 I loved this book and it really moved me because it once again reminded me how great God's love is for us when he gave his son so we could live。 The easy language and yet direct way of writing makes this a perfect gift for someone who is on the No matter how many times you have read through the bible or heard the story of Jesus it is always good to come back to the center。 This book takes apart John 3:16 and explains the verse in detail。 Then it goes through the life of Jesus in 40 devotionals。 I loved this book and it really moved me because it once again reminded me how great God's love is for us when he gave his son so we could live。 The easy language and yet direct way of writing makes this a perfect gift for someone who is on the search or "dipping their feet in" and is trying to understand what Christianity is about。 。。。more

God's Love for All MankindJohn 3:16 that I believe even non-believers have heard of。 I can vividly remember the man who managed to get good seats being home plate in a MLB stadium， behind the goal at a NBA arena so that whenever he thought the camera was on him he'd wave his John 3:16 sign while wearing a rainbow colored afro wig。 I offen have wondered how many people who took not only the time to look up that Bible verse to see what it， but also explored its meaning。？ "For God so loved the worl God's Love for All MankindJohn 3:16 that I believe even non-believers have heard of。 I can vividly remember the man who managed to get good seats being home plate in a MLB stadium， behind the goal at a NBA arena so that whenever he thought the camera was on him he'd wave his John 3:16 sign while wearing a rainbow colored afro wig。 I offen have wondered how many people who took not only the time to look up that Bible verse to see what it， but also explored its meaning。？ "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son， that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life。" NIV。 This explains the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the simplest of ways。 A truth all mankind can take hold of and put their complete trust in it for themselves。 。。。more

Max Lucado's books are very easy to digest。 Perfect for reading a quick read before bed or early in the morning， but it's not the deep reflection。 This one was dissected John 3:16 phrase by phrase and provided some insights。 I really enjoyed the first half of the book。 I did read the 40 pages of reflections and I didn't love them， so probably dropped a star on that。 Max Lucado's books are very easy to digest。 Perfect for reading a quick read before bed or early in the morning， but it's not the deep reflection。 This one was dissected John 3:16 phrase by phrase and provided some insights。 I really enjoyed the first half of the book。 I did read the 40 pages of reflections and I didn't love them， so probably dropped a star on that。 。。。more

This is an all inspiring look into one of the most quoted scriptures in the Bible。 I great overview of Christianity， and the best balance of depth versus conciseness I’ve encountered on the theme。

In typical Lucado fashion， the author paints an incredible word picture of the most famous verse in the Bible。 （"God helps those who help themselves" is not found anywhere in the Bible， even though this is more popular and often-quoted than John 3:16。） Almighty God made His love abundantly clear through the life， death， and resurrection of His Son， the Lord Jesus。 Each of us faces an eternity either in Heaven or Hell。 Eternal life spent in the Kingdom of Heaven is ours for the asking。 Which will In typical Lucado fashion， the author paints an incredible word picture of the most famous verse in the Bible。 （"God helps those who help themselves" is not found anywhere in the Bible， even though this is more popular and often-quoted than John 3:16。） Almighty God made His love abundantly clear through the life， death， and resurrection of His Son， the Lord Jesus。 Each of us faces an eternity either in Heaven or Hell。 Eternal life spent in the Kingdom of Heaven is ours for the asking。 Which will it be？ 。。。more

This is a good little book。 It was a nice little filler in my devotional time。 It's a nice reminder if the basics and has the Max Lucado charming stories with perfect time ins。 It didn't change my life， but it's worth the read。 This is a good little book。 It was a nice little filler in my devotional time。 It's a nice reminder if the basics and has the Max Lucado charming stories with perfect time ins。 It didn't change my life， but it's worth the read。 。。。more

Why do we have such hope and comfort as Christians。 Max Lucado beautifully explains the reasons Christians place their trust in Christ。

3:16 - los números de la esperanza de Max Lucado me pareció un buen libro。 Pues su autor trata de profundizar en la riqueza que encontramos en el pasaje de Juan 3:16。 El cual es quizás uno de los pasajes más conocidos por la mayoría de personas。 Pero que muchas veces no llegamos a comprender por completo。 Desde luego este libro no ofrece un estudio teológico a fondo del pasaje。 Sino más bien nos brinda un estudio devocional del mismo。 El cual en ocasiones se enriquece con algunas perlas teológic 3:16 - los números de la esperanza de Max Lucado me pareció un buen libro。 Pues su autor trata de profundizar en la riqueza que encontramos en el pasaje de Juan 3:16。 El cual es quizás uno de los pasajes más conocidos por la mayoría de personas。 Pero que muchas veces no llegamos a comprender por completo。 Desde luego este libro no ofrece un estudio teológico a fondo del pasaje。 Sino más bien nos brinda un estudio devocional del mismo。 El cual en ocasiones se enriquece con algunas perlas teológicas de Juan 3:16。 "Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo， que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito， para que todo aquel que en él cree， no se pierda， mas tenga vida eterna。"- Juan 3:16 RVR1960Vale la pena aclara que cuando se examina este libro desde un punto de vista teológico。 No siempre son acertados los comentarios o puntos de vista que el autor tiene。 Pero quizás influya la traducción。 Ya que en ocasiones sentí que algunas ideas quedaban a medias。 Por lo que era fácil mal interpretar las mismas。Una frase que me gustó mucho es: El cielo es un lugar perfecto para gente perfeccionada en comunión con nuestro Señor perfecto。 - Max Lucado。 。。。more

This is the foundational verse of the Christian faith。 Max Lucado has done somewhat justice to the verse。 However compared to other works by the same author， this book falls a little bit short。The upside of the book is that Max manages to deliver of how the verse is still relevant。

A brief synopsis of the author's thoughts regarding John 3:16。。。one of the most well known verses of the Bible。 I have no reason to argue his thoughts。 I appreciated one chapter that emphasized the differences of the teaching of Jesus through the Bible alongside several other world religions （pages 25-28）。 Basically brother Lucado concludes they cannot ALL be correct。 His uses the airline industry to emphasize his point。 Not all flights lead to Rome。。。Not all religions lead to the same destinati A brief synopsis of the author's thoughts regarding John 3:16。。。one of the most well known verses of the Bible。 I have no reason to argue his thoughts。 I appreciated one chapter that emphasized the differences of the teaching of Jesus through the Bible alongside several other world religions （pages 25-28）。 Basically brother Lucado concludes they cannot ALL be correct。 His uses the airline industry to emphasize his point。 Not all flights lead to Rome。。。Not all religions lead to the same destination as well。 Made sense to me。 。。。more

I really liked this book and think it would make a great gift to a new believer。 I received it as a gift on a Cursillo weekend from a pastor and his wife。 I read through it 'devotionally'。。。 a little at a time。 I really liked this book and think it would make a great gift to a new believer。 I received it as a gift on a Cursillo weekend from a pastor and his wife。 I read through it 'devotionally'。。。 a little at a time。 。。。more

Lucado breaks out John 3:16 for the first 100 pages and follows up with some daily devotionals for new believers。 Lucado and I have some fundamental disagreements that I can't get past。 Books like this I have to trash because I can't in good faith spread misinformation。 Lucado breaks out John 3:16 for the first 100 pages and follows up with some daily devotionals for new believers。 Lucado and I have some fundamental disagreements that I can't get past。 Books like this I have to trash because I can't in good faith spread misinformation。 。。。more
