  • Summary

  • When you hear the name Max Lucado, what comes to mind for you?

    Max Lucado is best known as a pastor, speaker, best-selling inspirational author, and, in many Christian families, he’s a household name.

    His books are written for everyone—especially those who are hurting, lonely, and discouraged. In his writing, he constantly points his readers back to the truth: that God loves you and you should let Him love you.

    Max is also an author of children’s books, several of which are favorites around here. 😊
