Entries from Come Sit a While that draw on the words of Max Lucado.
Max Lucado (b. 1955) grew up in a small West Texas town called Andrews — a flat, sun-bleached place of oil rigs and Friday night football where the nearest bookstore was hours away. He was a restless, ordinary boy who found faith in college and never quite got over it. He went on to serve as a missionary in Brazil for several years, then returned to San Antonio, Texas, where he became the preaching minister at Oak Hills Church and eventually one of the most widely read Christian authors in the world. He has written more than one hundred books — devotionals, children’s stories, novels, and theological meditations — that have sold well over 145 million copies in dozens of languages. His voice is immediately recognizable: warm, plainspoken, free of pretension, and quietly insistent that the gospel is good news and that ordinary people can understand it and be changed by it. He does not write for scholars. He writes for people driving home from a hard day, sitting in a hospital waiting room, reading by lamplight after the children are finally asleep. He came to that voice honestly. He struggled with anxiety, preached through self-doubt, and has been public about the ordinary difficulties of his own faith journey. He is not a man who has had an easy road and writes about struggle from a distance. He is a man who has needed what he writes about, and that need shows in every page.
