Max Lucado

Max Lucado was born in San Angelo, Texas. He earned his BA in Mass Communications and his MA in Bible and Related Studies, both at Abilene Christian University, Abilene, Texas. He served as an associate minister at the Central Church of Christ in Miami, Florida, and as a church-planting missionary in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He currently serves as senior minister at the Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas.

Lucado has touched millions with his signature storytelling writing style. Max is the first author to win the Gold Medallion Christian Book of the Year three times. In 2005, Reader’s Digest dubbed him “America’s Best Preacher.” In addition, he has been an ECPA Gold Medallion finalist with more titles than any other author in the industry. He has also authored a number of award-winning children's books.

Lucado has received criticism for tolerating and later endorsing "the sinner's prayer" as the means by which one accepts Christ. This is contrary to the teaching of Scripture, which definitely includes water baptism within the meaning of saving faith (see Galatians 3:26-27; Colossians 2:12-13). For more on this and other issues, see F. LaGard Smith's book, Who is My Brother?
