On the Anvil: Stories on Being Shaped into God's Image

by Max Lucado

Overview

We are all somewhere in the Blacksmith's shop. We are either on the scrap pile, in the Master's hands on the anvil, or in the tool chest. (Some of us have been in all three.) In this collection of writings, best-selling author Max Lucado takes us on a tour of the “shop.” We'll examine all tools and look in all corners, from the shelves to the workbench, from the water to the fire. And for you who make the journey—who leave the heap and enter the fire, dare to be pounded on God's anvil, and doggedly seek to discover your own purpose—take courage, for you await the privilege of being called “God's chosen instruments.” This new edition includes discussion questions and a new foreword from the author.

Editorial Reviews

"Max Lucado effectively reads his inspirational book about the process God uses to create Christ-like qualities in a Christian’s life. His earnest enthusiasm for this topic comes through clearly. He draws upon many personal illustrations and makes them interesting with his gift of storytelling. The production compares a person’s life to three types of tools:  One can be without purpose or living for self, a concept that is illustrated by being part of a broken pile of tools. Or one can be “on the anvil,” with a heart for God. Or, finally, one can be used as an instrument to bring glory to God. This audiobook is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys inspirational devotional listening."
