More About the Author
In just under two decades of writing, Max Lucado has accomplished more than most writers hope for in a lifetime. Most of his books have appeared on one or more best seller lists, including those published by the "New York Times," "USA Today," "Publishers Weekly," and the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA). Aside from hardcover books, Lucado's writings have also been published as children's books, videos, CD-ROMs, DVDs, music CDs, mass paperback booklets, apparel, giftware, bookmarks, calendars, study Bibles, workbooks, curricula, and plush products. In spring 2003, Hallmark/Dayspring Cards launched a new gift card line featuring excerpts from Lucado's writings--and has already sold more than one million cards.
All this success has drawn more than a little attention to a previously low-profile Texas author and minister. Lucado has been featured in a wide range of media, including "USA Today," "Larry King Live," and "NBC Nightly News." He has spoken at the National Prayer Breakfast before the President of the United States. He has traveled with internationally renowned musicians as a special speaker on their music tours, such as the highly successful "Come Together & Worship Tour" (sponsored by Chevrolet) with Grammy Award-winning artists Michael W. Smith and Third Day.
Journey to the Top
Lucado was born in 1955 in San Angelo, Texas, and raised in Andrews, Texas, the youngest of four children. His father was an Exxon oil field mechanic who, Lucado remembers, always smelled of grease cleaner. "It makes it easy for me to see a God who is loving and kind--because my dad was," he says. His mother was a nurse who grew up working in the cotton fields.
Lucado went through a period of rebellion against his parents' values and their God during his teens and into college. But it wasn't long before he found himself drawn back to his roots, back to God. He married, spent time serving as a missionary in Brazil, and returned to the States, where he began working as a church minister and writing on the side.
Secret to Success
From all accounts, Max Lucado is not a man consumed by sales, awards, and achievements. He often turns down media interviews since they impede on family and ministry commitments. He spends the bulk of his week serving as senior minister at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. And he is truly surprised by his own success--more impressed by his one-in-a-million wife and three amazing daughters than by his successful writing career.

Nothing speaks so loudly as silence,
By A Customer
This review is from: And the Angels Were Silent (Paperback)
Rev. Lucado speaks volumes from the pages of this powerful work in a manner that transcends any denominational differences between Max and his readers. Through vivid illustration after vivid illustration he guides us through the final days of the Savior giving Christ the human touch that some may even fear to teach or to ponder. Even though the title is accurate that the angels were silent, their silence has allowed the echoes of the thunderous ovation of love heard as the nails were driven at Golgotha for each of us. My only drawback is that the book is so hard to put down, that you finish it in just a couple of days and find yourself disappointed wanting more. But, then again every Lucado book I have read does the same thing!

An amazing insight on our Lord's final week,
By A Customer
This review is from: And the Angels Were Silent (Chronicles of the Cross) (Hardcover)
I am writing this because I want others to know His healing touch. This book gave me a diffrent angle to look Jesus' final week and how what He did and said tell us the message He was sent to bring. Max Lucado knows what he is saying and how to explain it so that we who are not theologens can read and understand and weep with that knowledge. Please read this book, because we all need that insight.

The Message behind the Message,
By BDinah@aol.com (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: And the Angels Were Silent (Paperback)
In his always thought provoking style, Max Lucado once again helps the reader have an encounter with the Almighty. He brings to life the final week of Jesus in a fresh, unique way that causes the reader's heart to break, mend, and break again. The timeless Truths of Jesus aren't embellished, because they do not require embellishment.Instead, they are told in ways that nearly everyone can relate to, but Lucado still manages to help the reader hold on to that ethereal feeling of a "one on one" encounter with the Author of the universe. A Must Read!
