Product Description

“Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” – Psalm 103:2

The very breath that sustains you. The prosperity of our land. Both—and everything in between—are gifts from the same God. Remember Him. And turn to Him in heartfelt prayer.

America ’s beloved author and 2005 National Day of Prayer spokesman, Max Lucado, issues a revolutionary call to return to the Source of our personal and national blessings. Max’s teaching and storytelling skills engage and encourage your commitment to daily enter into the presence of the giver of all good things, your Father. Turn is striking a chord in hearts and souls across America —bringing, one by one, a nation back to the Foundation on which it was built.

Turn back to God…

Who daily sustains your very existence,

and is the sole source of your every blessing.

Who showers our country with grace,

creating this nation for his name’s sake.

From your life to your land, his hand of mercy is upon you. It’s time now to turn and ask, “What can I do for God?”

He’s waiting for you.

He’s waiting for America .

Story Behind the Book

Using fresh stories and original Bible teaching, 2005 National Day of Prayer spokesman Max Lucado joins seasoned author and pastor Brian Smith to call readers to a life of active prayer-guided dependence on God. The authors’ compelling, compassionate approach will cultivate hearts that truly beat for God, moving the reader from “ought” to “want” in prayer and daily surrender to Him. Turn serves as a strategic tool, urging our nation toward spiritual renewal.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Important and Timely Book, August 7, 2005
By S. Peek (Rocky Mountains, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Max Lucado has written a book to challenge Christians to adhere to II Chron. 7:14. It is very simple, but well done.

In contrast to what one reviewer wrote, this has nothing to do with being divisive. It is not written for the population at large. It is written to Christians specifically letting them know what God has said that they need to do in their own lives to turn things around in our nation.

Mr. Lucado goes through II Chron. 7:14 phrase by phrase. The text of that Scripture is as follows: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

The solution found in this single verse is really quite simple. Christians need to do the following: 1) Acknowledge God, the Creator of the Universe, and his dominion; 2) Pray; 3) Seek His face - Read His word, worship Him, etc.; 4) Confess our sins and ask for forgiveness.

The simplicity of the verse is amazing. The book is well done.
I highly recommend it to Christians.

4.0 out of 5 stars Turn, May 29, 2005
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14.

Lucado's entire book unpacks this verse and challenges us to consider:

God will heal the land when people turn back to him. God is the one who decides all things with respect to a country.
God determines national leaders and decides national blessings. And God listens to the prayers of his people - if and when they pray.
Even Jesus, rather than acting, turned to prayer and asked God, his heavenly father, to act. In Matthew 14:23 it says, "Jesus went up on a mountainside alone to pray." Jesus did not call us to teach, preach, have committee meetings or do anything without ceasing - except to pray without ceasing. Jesus did not call his house a house of fellowship, music, study, political activities, exposition or anything else - except a house of prayer (Matthew 21:13).

The author encourages us to take our nation, family, and friends and present them before God in prayer.

Even Peter, one of Jesus' inner circle, could not stand by the Savior but denied Him three times in His hour of need and turned and ran. But He also turned, returned, and confessed and repented - and he was forgiven and restored.

What God wants us to do, Lucado asserts, is to stop pointing the finger at others, point the finger at ourselves, get real before God so that God can heal our land. Yet, as Lucado says, we typically pray as casually as we'd order a burger at a drive through.

If you get the idea that I think that everyone needs to read Turn: Remembering Our Foundations, - you're right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reminding us of who we are., July 9, 2005
Incredible book.

It reminds us that God comes first and that he put us here. He created this world.

God is magic and believing in him is magical.

Everything Max said in this book I see in everyday life.

A perfect example is the people trying to remove pray from school or trying to remove "under God" from the pledge of alligence.

Max Lucado is one of the best writers I've read in a long time.
