New Releases by Max Lucado

Discover the path to hope in knowing that God cares for you. These days, bad news often outpaces the good. Problems outnumber solutions. You may turn and ask, "Where is God at a time like this?" Friend, he''s right here. And he''s whispering your name. You really want to do what is right. But sometimes life turns south. You''re anxious, you''re busy, you''re cautious because you''ve been hurt before--or maybe you''re all of the above. But pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado is here to share some good news: in the Bible and in the circumstances of your life, God whispers your name lovingly, tenderly, patiently, and persistently. Somewhere between the pages of this book and the pages of your heart, God is speaking. And he is calling you by name. Maybe that''s hard to believe. Maybe you just can''t imagine that the One who made it all thinks of you that personally--that he keeps your name on his heart and lips. In When God Whispers Your Name, Max will help you: See yourself in the stories of hardship and redemption in Scripture Understand that you are uniquely known by God Grasp the great and daring love of the One who calls your name Each copy of When God Whispers Your Name also includes a discussion guide designed to let you dive deeper into the timeless scripture that underlies each of these lessons of hope, encouragement, and redemption. Max knows that we all need a reminder every now and then--not a sermon, but a simple reminder that God knows our names. Today, listen carefully. Hear that? God is whispering your name.

Through inspirational anecdotes and observations of life, Lucado compares the lives of Christians to blacksmith''s tools in various stages of usefulness. This gift edition features calligraphy by Tim Botts.

It is what you''ve always dreamed but never expected. It''s having God as your dad, your biggest fan, and your best friend. It''s having the King of Kings in your cheering section; it''s hearing the applause of heaven. Max Lucado believes that the Beatitudes provide what we truly need to discover: the joy of God. Much more than a how-to book on happiness, The Applause of Heaven is an encounter with the Source of Joy.
