Is your heart unsettled by the chaos of the world? Are you heavy-laden with bad moments, mad moments, or anxious moments? Today, rest in God’s self-giving love and leave all your troubles at the foot of the cross.
In He Chose the Nails, Max Lucado observes that the last moments leading up to Jesus’ death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. God was never more sovereign than in the details of the death of his Son. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us…the cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb.
God didn’t have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.
In this Easter season study, Max will help you:
Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God. Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life. Receive the grace of Christ’s work for us, and cooperate with God’s work in us to make us more like him. Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God’s presence, no matter what you’ve done.
Search the scene of the cross and listen for God’s gentle whisper, “I did it just for you.”
The He Chose the Nails Study Guide includes video notes and discussion questions, Bible exploration, an individual application activity, and a Lenten practice to complete between meetings.
Sessions include:
He Chose to Be One of Us He Chose to Forgive Us He Chose to Invite Us into His Presence He Chose to Love Us Forever He Chose to Give Us Victory He Chose to Give Us Confidence (optional session for Week 6 of Lent)
Designed for use with Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails Video Study (9780310687849), sold separately. The DVD is a two-disc set for Christmas and Easter.

Great Bible Study
My mentee and I did Maxâs Because of Christmas at Christmas and loved that one so we chose to do this one here at Easter. Max has a way of getting us to look at something in a totally different way, something that is so obvious you just didnât see it that way until he pointed it out. Great book. AAA

This is a great study guide.
Goes great with dvd series. A little more complicated to use alongside original book. But it is doable, and this is a great study.
Angela Counterman –
Love the author
I have many books by Max Lacudo , so far this one did not disappoint.
Michelle Potter –
What was it like?
If you want to feel and strengthen your walk with Jesus, this is the study for you! You feel like you were there when they crucified my Lord. And you feel the love of Godâs forgiveness and understanding of His sacrifice. A must study!
Varonda Johnson –
Love. And Appreciate God’s Sacrifice
This book, in true Max fashion, gives me, a less than worthy Christian. A tearful, examination, of truly Jesus. And his even though, never being of sin. Trust in his father. Causing my Faith to be stronger.

Supplement to the video series…
I guess I missed something; I purchased the book, the video and the Study Guide. The books seem to be at cross purposes. The DVD works well with the Study Guide, but the book seems to work best by itself. There is NO coordination between the book and the DVD. It became hard to advise people which, or how many chapters to read in the book to stay caught up. Max is a great author, but the book and the DVD left us confused with how to implement them.

This series has a Christmas video and study guide which can be used. Our class has done both.
We are using the Study guide and video in an adult Sunday School Class. We are two sessions into the five session plan. So far we are very pleased. There are some good thought provoking questions and ideas in the study. This class is a very special class of 13 adults who read and study their lessons and enter into questioning and analyzing freely. There is a book by the same title which involves 15 chapters of writings/stories by Max that are quoted in the video. I have both but it is not a necessity.

Great Study
The fact that Jesus chose to endure the nails, the crown of thorns, the scorn and rejection and pain because of His extreme love for us. That no matter the cost to Him, He still chose to rescue us and reconcile us back to God the Father. I loved the Scripture readings for each day. The study questions were thought provoking. The companion video is great as well.
