The reason I read Max Lucado’s work is not for its deep theological content, although I do believe he writes Biblically sound, but Rev. Lucado has a gift to use words to paint wonderful life pictures.  His humor peaks through these illustrations of day-to-day life.  It touches me.  It challenges me.  It brings me back to Jesus who loves me beyond my understanding.

I encourage you to take the time to read an article that I received through my email this week from Max Lucado’s ministry.  I do not recommend articles lightly, especially those who attempt to explain to me about God and death.  Too often they are filled with platitudes that do not hold up when I turn to the Bible or how God has acted in my own life.  This article holds up for me.  I hope it will hold you up also.
