As a longtime Lucado fan, I looked forward to reading, “For the Tough Times” and I wasn’t disappointed.
A quick easy read, it’s Lucado doing what he does best…blending plain-spoken scripture with warmth, compassion and humor, all packaged in his signature, “you-and-me-sitting-on-the-porch” style of delivery.
This book offers Biblical examples and insights, taken from several of his other books and reorganized, for those who are struggling with “tough times.” As is typical of the author, the message is always inspirational, occasionally convicting, and never judgmental.
His take on Job, and how he faced his tribulations, is as good a piece of writing as I’ve even seen Lucado produce…and that’s saying a lot.
Small enough to make a perfect gift-book, I plan to pick up several copies and hang onto them until someone comes along who needs to read this.
I loved this book.

Over the last several months, I’ve read six of the most “popular” books on pregnancy and was surprisingly disappointed with the role that “Daddy” seems to take in our society.
“The Expectant Father” by Armin Brott remains, by far, the best father-to-be pregnancy and childbirth book I’ve read.
I found this author’s attitude on the roles and responsibilities of the father to be insightful and refreshing. Brott dismisses the stereotypical “Neanderthal husband” attitude and gets down to the nuts and bolts of how to be the best husband and father a man can be being during this wonderful, confusing, and sometimes frightening adventure of pregnancy and parenthood.
My wife and I have been trying to conceive for several years and, after some medical intervention, we are now beginning our third month of pregnancy. I’ve read “The Expectant Father” twice, cover-to-cover, and am now taking it a chapter at a time as our miracle progresses.
Thank you. Mr. Brott for this series, it is invaluable, and inspirational.
Mothers-to-be get it for your man, Daddy’s-to-be get it for yourself, your partner and you coming child!
