It''s all too much to take on by yourself. But pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado has great news for you--Help Is Here.

*Entirely rewritten and re-filmed for a more focused and deeply personal study of the most-loved verse in the Bible—John 3:16. In this updated classic Bible study (video streaming included), bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado pulls back the curtain on his favorite Bible passage to move you to a profound awareness of God''s limitless love, His incalculable sacrifice, and the certainty of His offer of eternal life. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This passage is a twenty-six-word parade of hope. A verse brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment...and solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions. With deeply personal accounts of the way this verse shaped Max''s own faith journey, this study will reveal the gospel story surrounding the promise and unpack God''s plan of restoration from the human problems of sin and death. If you know nothing about the Bible, the promise of John 3:16 is where to start. It''s time to live as if you''ve been "born again", as if you''ve already been redeemed. It''s time to live into the promise, to trust it—so much that this message of God''s unending love overflows from you to the world.

To be clear, you didn''t ask for this struggle. You want to get past it. You don''t know how much longer you can hold up. But what if God is with you in this difficult season? When life seems off the rails, remember this truth: the minute you bow your head to pray is the moment God lifts his hand to help. Queen Esther learned this truth firsthand. When confronted with a royal decree that would annihilate her people, she had to make some tough choices. Would she remain silent in the face of this challenge, or would she speak up? Would she blend in, or would she stand out? But after Esther spent three days in prayer and fasting, God gave her the courage to speak up. God used her to save the nation. And God can do the same with you.

In You Are Never Alone, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado will show you that you''re stronger than you think because God is nearer than you know. You''ll be comforted by the living, loving, miracle-working God who doesn''t think twice about stepping into the thorny thickets of your world to lift you out. When life feels depleted, does God care? When I hear him say "No", does he have a response? I''m facing an onslaught of challenges, will he help? When life grows dark and stormy, does he notice? I''m facing the fear of death, will he help me? The answer in the life-giving miracles in the Gospel of John is a resounding yes. Do you know them? Do you believe in a Jesus who has, not only power, but a passionate love for the weak and wounded of the world? Do you think he cares enough about you to find you in the lonely waiting rooms, rehab centers and convalescent homes of life? You and I long for Someone who will meet us in the midst of life''s messes. We long to believe in a living, loving, miracle-working God who won''t think twice about stepping into the thorny thickets of our world and lift us out. If this is your desire, take a good look at the words of John and the miracles of Christ and see if they don''t achieve their desired goal: "That you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name" (Jn. 20:31).

Do you ever feel like a second-class citizen in this world? Do you wonder how God could possibly use you to change lives? For women in Bible times, these weren''t even questions they thought about. Being overlooked, marginalized, having your contributions discounted because you''re a woman...it''s just the way things were. In this 10-lesson workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite accounts of women in Scripture and the remarkable way God broke down cultural barriers to use them in the unfolding of His story. You will discover... Sarah, the woman whom God promised would give birth to a nation, but who tried to rush things when God''s promises didn''t seem to be coming to pass. Rahab, a prostitute in the Canaanite city of Jericho, who would save herself and her family through her faith in the one true God of the Israelites. Abigail, a woman forced to play peacemaker by the barbaric behavior of her husband. Esther, a young queen whom God placed in the Persian court for “such a time as this” to prevent the genocide of the Jewish people. Mary, the young virgin pledged to Joseph, whom God would choose to give birth to Jesus, the promised Messiah who would save the world. The Samaritan Woman, who would meet this Messiah at a well one day. His words would forever after change her life. The Canaanite Woman, who made God smile with her wit and faith, and who received from Jesus an answer to her prayer. Mary of Bethany, a friend of Jesus who witnessed the resurrection of her brother, Lazarus, and then anointed Christ in anticipation of his death and resurrection.

You know your Goliath. You recognize his walk, the thunder of his voice. He taunts you with bills you can''t pay, people you can''t please, habits you can''t break, failures you can''t forget, and a future you can''t face. But just like David, you can face your giant, even if you aren''t the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, of the holiest. David. You could read his story and wonder what God saw in him. His life has little to offer the unstained, straight-A saint. He fell as often as he stood, stumbled as often as he conquered. But for those who know the sound of Goliath, David gives this reminder: Focus on giants -- you stumble; focus on God -- your giants tumble. If you''re ready to face your giants, let his story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you.
