Author review: Max Lucado

I have listened to 5 of his audio books so far: He Chose the Nails, Max on Life, God Came Near, Traveling Light, and The Max Lucado Christmas Collection.

His work is well written. Simple and easy to follow. He incorporates stories (including those from his own life) to help the reader relate to what’s being told in the Bible. Sometimes he reminds me a lot of the radio personality Paul Harvey.

I have a really hard time listening to or reading just anyone when it comes to Bible studies. I want knowledge not opinion. Sadly, opinion is given a lot because there’s some information that’s just not given. Why? Only God knows. I want to be careful with the opinions I do choose to listen to. For example, I don’t believe Jesus had a fling with Mary Magdalene. There are people who do.

Whether you are a seasoned Christian or just learning, I would recommend Max Lucado to anyone.

I had heard of him for a long time but just never got involved with his work. One day, I watched an interview with him and he quoted C.S. Lewis. I have great respect for Lewis and his journey to Christianity. This led me to learn more about Lewis and Lucado.

Happy reading
