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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Diversion, May 31, 2001

This review is from: Life Lessons: Book Of Romans (Paperback)

This is just one of many Inspirational Study Guides written by Max Lucado. After reading/working through this book I felt confident enough to purchase more of them. If your time in God's word is not what you would like it to be, then maybe a brief interlude into this book will help get you going. One of the better points is that the book does not try to push a lot of the authors theology onto you. The book helps you read through the book of romans, examine a few sections closely (it even gives two version of the bible), some inspirational stories, as well as question for thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Group Bible Study, September 8, 2000

By 

Horace Honzell (Manteca, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Life Lessons: Book Of Romans (Paperback)

This has been a great study to use for a group of different maturity levels. Our group is a combination of new and seasoned believers and open discussions have been very rewarding to the Christian at any age. The question format also makes it easy for drop-in guests to participate in the study discussion. Would recommend for use in any small group setting. Just love it.

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

This is a great study! I am using it for my Sunday School Class and there is great disscussion and they are enjoying it. I feel that you can not go wrong with any of Max Lucado's books. They are in everyday language and you can easily related to them. I am a Lay Pastor student and they help me with my studies and sermons.
