Max Lucado (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 25, 2004

"Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty.  The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life."  (John 4:13-14 NCV)

Like the woman at the well, we recognize our need for living water.  We need moisture, a swallow of water, a long, quenching drink.  But where do we find water for the soul?  We find it at the W-E-L-L.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy, July 20, 2007

This review is from: Come Thirsty Leader's Guide (Paperback)

If you are buying the text of "Come Thirsty" do not waste your money on the leaders guide. It is completely redundant. Additionally, the initial text has study questions in the back. The guide is not necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Guide for the Longing Soul, March 21, 2009

This review is from: Come Thirsty Workbook: Receive What Your Soul Longs For (Paperback)

I am reviewing this because I SO disagree with the only review posted thus far. I am on my third time through this workbook. You don't even need the book Come Thirsty to do it because the study is self-explanatary. I bought Come Thirsty after going through this workbook two previous times. The book is good and the study guide in the back of the book is good, but this workbook is GREAT! It quotes the meaty parts of the book and then uses scripture search to teach you God's truth. If you have a thirsty soul, then this study guide will begin your journey to seek that which truly satifies.

workbook arrived in excellent condition as pictured...however might could have used a disclaimer that you need the "right" translation of Bible to be able to complete the workbook.
