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.
This review is from: Cure for the Common Life Workbook (Paperback)
Having purchased the actual book "Cure for the Common Life" I did assume the study guide would work step by step with the book, but it doesn't. As a result we have not used the study guide at all, but working through the chapters one by one.
I think the study guide has some good ideas, but we haven't been able to use it during our small group time, so rather a waste of money.

This review is from: Cure for the Common Life Workbook (Paperback)
This study guide is stuctured for a small group that breaks up into pairs or threes to share thoughts and personal stories to help discover each person's individual strengths. If you want to do a study based upon the book with a group that stays together and discusses together, I recommend you follow the actual book not the study guide. The book has a good list of questions at the back for chapters 6-15.

Our couples group Finally abandoned this "bible study" after week 3 because it was the EXACT same questions week to week. Please note on the cover that some other group is parting writing it and I believe just using lucado's name to get you interested in it. Definitely not a lucado study. Don't waste your $.
