Traveling Light: Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended to Bear
We're all weighed down by loads we were never intended to carry. With New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado as your guide, Traveling Light invites you to release some of those heavy burdens and experience true rest.
We've all seen weary travelers-everything they own crammed into their luggage, staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We can all be people like that-if not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load of guilt, discontentment, doubt, or loneliness.
Centered around the comforting, uplifting words of Psalm 23, Traveling Light will give you the encouragement and the tools you need to release the burdens of:
Self-relianceArroganceHopelessnessDisappointmentShameThere are certain weights in life that we simply aren't designed to carry, and Max reminds us that the Lord is asking you to set them down and trust him. He is the father at the baggage claim. When a dad sees his five-year-old son trying to drag the family trunk off the carousel, what does he say? The father will say to his son what God is saying to you.
"Set it down, child. I'll carry that one."
What if we took God up on his offer? We just might find ourselves traveling a little lighter.

I was drawn to this book because I do love this Psalm and was intrigued to see what this author had to say about it. After years of prodding from my wife to read Max Lucado, I tried one. Thus began my journey. In this book he continues in the same quiet and reasonable appreciation the sacred messages left for us. He does not merely illustrate with anecdotes he has mined the text for its deeper meaning whilst placing the wording in the setting of the original times and practices. Shepherds, for instance anointed the heads of their sheep with oil to protect them from flies. Thus the phrase in the 23rd Psalm becomes more immediate and more relevant. This is the way Lucas I operates and this opens up the often mysterious passages and phrasing to reveal and to become more memorable and thus applicable. Max Lucado is a natural teacher - just as his model, Jesus, was.

LOVE Max Lucado and this book is turning into one of my very favorites. Came highly recommended and I can easily see why. He tends to write in a personal style that feels like an easy conversation with a dear friend. A whole new way to look at Psalm 23 and be transformed by the soothing words of scripture. WELL worth reading and definitely life changing!

Max makes it enjoyable and easy to get his point across. I sure am glad he did.

Gives clarity to the 23rd Psalm. I read exerts from it almost daily. I find more meaning every time I read inserts. This book has given me many hours of Peace and has helped me to understand the purity of the Shepards mission.
