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.

I enjoy how Max gently drifts through the scriptures. In this study of the book of Hebrews I found it easy to use in a small group setting. I like the format and flow to Max's life lessons. I give this particular book and A for content, flow and interest. It's worth checking out alone or in a group!

This review is from: Hebrews (Life Lessons) (Paperback)

Excellent book, asks very good questions and gets you thinking more about Jesus and God and what the mean to each of us. Also what we mean to God and Jesus and how we are related. I recommend this book for those that want to change their view of themselves and see themselves as God sees them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple but good., November 23, 2008

This review is from: Life Lessons with Max Lucado: Book Of Hebrews (Paperback)

I enjoy the book. The inspirational readings are quite good. It helps to have 2 versions of scripture written out on the page so you could do the study w/o your Bible if you wanted to, not that I recommend that. The basic questions are a little repetitive and basic for mature christians. Overall, still a great writer.
