Jesus. Holy or human? According to the Bible, he was-and is-both. Fully God and fully man. Our next door Savior. The Christ of your galaxies is the Christ of your Mondays. The Starmaker manages your travel schedule. Relax. You have a friend in high places.
There is no person he won't touch. No place he won't go to find you. For even though he is in heaven, he never left the neighborhood.
The Next Door Savior Participant's Guide is the perfect companion for users of the Next Door Savior Group Study Kit. On the Study Kit DVDs Max Lucado personally teaches what it means for Christ to be our next door Savior. The six lessons in this Participant's Guide correspond with the six lessons in the Study Kit. Every teacher who uses the Study Kit will want each of their class members to have and use a Participant's Guide, for it's in the Bible study and self-reflection questions of this Participant's Guide that each class member will have the opportunity to really learn what it means for our Savior to be "near enough to touch, and strong enough to trust."
Max Lucado ( - )
Max Lucado is a preacher with a storyteller’s gift—a pastor’s heart and a poet’s pen. Max’s sermons begin at home with the congregation at Oak Hills Church, which he has led for more than two decades. It is in this setting that his stories are first told, from a pastor’s heart. Eventually some of these sermons and stories are refined and fashioned into books that are shared far beyond the walls of Oak Hills and the city limits of San Antonio, Texas. Max’s words have traveled around the world in more than 41 languages via more than 100 million individual products.Max Lucado’s first book, On the Anvil, was published in 1985. 2013 brings the release of Max’s 30th trade book, You’ll Get Through This (September), which beautifully illustrates Lucado’s ongoing mission to encourage the brokenhearted and to remind all readers of the healing love of God. Max and family moved back to Texas in 1988, and Max has been a minister at Oak Hills Church ever since. Max and Denalyn have three grown daughters, two in ministry, one in publishing, and one son-in-law, also serving in ministry.
Max Lucado is a best-selling Christian author and minister of writing and preaching at Oak Hills Church (formerly the Oak Hills Church of Christ) in San Antonio, Texas. Lucado has written more than 50 books with 28 million copies in print.
After serving as the pulpit minister for 20 years, Lucado announced in early 2007 that he was stepping down due to health concerns related to atrial fibrillation.
