Customer Review #1:
"Freely you have received, freely give."
I have been meditating on this verse a lot lately. Matthew 10:8. Interestingly enough, I came across this book with the above title, as the basis of the story.
Tobias, the Watermaster who has endless, life-giving water for the village gives freely to all without judgment. All they had to do was ask for water. "Tobias would talk to the people about their lives. He would laugh with them and inquire about their hopes and dreams while Julian (his son) helped them draw water for their families."
They had to go away and left Elzevir to give the water. Elzevir began judging as who deserved to get the water. Obviously, soon no one was good enough, and the people were greatly discouraged and would rather die of thirst than go to him because they couldnt please him.
I love how Max uses symbolism in his stories to the Bible. Tobias is God, Julian is Jesus, Elzevir can be seen as the devil, the people are us, and the water is Life. Im thankful that Jesus, I mean, Julian, (heh) came back and gave water to everyone, including Elzevir, even against the crowds cries of "No water for Elzevir, he was cruel to us!"
"I know he was. But if water were given only to good people, who could drink?"
The people were silent and marveled at the grace of Jesus, I mean Julian.
There is water for all. Soar!

Customer Review #2:
Visually stunning!
Max Lucado has another book that shines! Wonderful parallels from scripture we all can understand and relate to. We all need to give, love, and forgive more and this story provides us with some great examples. Douglas Klaubas artwork beautifully compliments Maxs latest endeavor. Our hearts are stired visually as we read along. With masterful use of composition, color, and design and characters with great emotion and expression, he leaves a lasting impression upon the reader. Looking forward to see what he illustrates next. Thank you both, for producing a vivid, thought provoking, stunningly illustrated book.

Must be good
I read most of Max Lucados books and I guess this will be as great as the others. His writings keep touching me and some of his writings keep hanging in my mind. I believe this books will bring your kids to a more simple faith to God.
