“Never before has a book so beautifully invited me to sit down, take a breath, and unpack the overwhelm, exhaustion, and burnout that’s underscored the last few years. Max’s works always feel like coffee with a dear friend, but Help Is Here is different. Max’s latest book challenges us to fight for a new way ahead—trusting in our Savior to not just nudge us from the darkness but to rescue us and lead us in Glory. Max’s words are poetic and pointed—steeped in Grace and rooted in scripture. This is a must-read for anyone who’s been through the ringer and ready for a new way.”
“Do you want to have a deeper, closer relationship with God? You can do that through the Holy Spirit! In my good friend Max Lucado’s new book, Help Is Here, he explores the person, power, and provision of the Holy Spirit. Max explains how having a relationship with Him makes your life fuller, richer, and more exciting than you ever dreamed possible. You must read this book!”
“Max’s leadership and beautiful testimonies throughout these pages have encouraged and equipped me in how to embrace the Holy Spirit and choose praise instead of panic. Through his stories and deep knowledge, Max lovingly reminds us that worship and praise are the answers for our anxiety-ridden, overworked, and overstressed pace of life.”
“For years I have longed as a pastor for a book like this on my shelf to give away. Finally, not a doctrine or an explanation of the Holy Spirit, but an actual introduction and invitation to God’s living presence.”
“Are you weary? Burned out? Simply dissatisfied with your spiritual life? Let my friend Max Lucado tell you all about your Helper—the divine Spirit who changes everything. This exhilarating book—both profound and practical—will energize your life with God as never before. Don’t miss the life-changing adventure that’s inside these pages!”
“Max Lucado’s brilliant mind and tender heart are on display once again in his newest book, Help Is Here. Max combines his renowned storytelling with powerful, biblical revelation about the person of the Holy Spirit. This is a beautiful and important book. Nothing stretches the imagination more than recognizing that God gives Himself to us as an inheritance. The person of the Holy Spirit is our greatest gift, and it is our delight to learn how to host Him well. Everything true, noble, and beautiful in us comes from the Father, who filled us with His Spirit, empowering us to do what was humanly impossible. We have been called to be, as Max writes, ‘the supernatural expression of God on the planet.’ What a privilege; what a responsibility; what a joy.”
“Few people in the evangelical world write with the penetrating insight and persuasive clarity as does my friend Max Lucado. This book testifies to that once again. When Max first informed me that he was writing a book on the Holy Spirit, I knew in an instant the impact it would have. Many who have followed Max’s ministry through the years will be surprised when they discover that he now believes in the contemporary validity of all spiritual gifts in the life of the church today. Max’s thoroughly biblical case for the work of the Spirit will challenge and, ultimately, persuade you of its truth, and greatly encourage you to seek for an even greater manifestation of the Spirit’s power in your life. I highly and happily recommend it.”
“Max Lucado possesses a miraculous ability to distill the deep waters of God into refreshing springs of simplicity and grace. We couldn’t imagine walking out the purposes of God in our lives without the empowering understanding of the Holy Spirit that Max’s new book provides. If you’ve ever wondered how it’s possible to navigate the challenges of this world and still ‘consider it all joy,’ Help Is Here is not to be missed!”
“In our heaviest times, Help Is Here shines a bright light of hope and encouragement to show us that no matter what we go through, we do not have to carry the burdens alone. Whether it’s hardship or burnout, Max Lucado reminds us there is help, and it’s not far away but ever-present in times of trouble.”
“Max Lucado is not only a hugely talented writer, he also has insights into spiritual truths which draw us all closer to Jesus.”
“The Holy Spirit . . . the most misunderstood, misrepresented member of the Trinity—and yet, before Jesus ascended into heaven He told his disciples disciples not to leave Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit had come upon them. The promise was that they would receive power from on high. Who doesn’t want that? Who doesn’t need that? Let Max walk you through the amazing scriptures that describe the wonder, the promise, and the power of the Holy Spirit, who is available and so necessary for each and every one of us who follow Jesus. Thank you, Max . . . we needed this!”
“Max Lucado’s honoring of Jesus’ Free Gift of the Holy Spirit to every Christian believer, apart from any deserving preconditions or ‘surrenderings’ whatsoever in order to ‘deserve’ this Spirit, is full of encouragements to be simply and daily alive to this Indwelling One! I warmly recommend Lucado’s wise counsel.”
“Reading the Bible, prayer, church, time spent away from the endless scroll of social media and 24/7 news . . . A life of peace is not out of reach but, as it’s been said, the easy things to do are also easy not to do. Our culture grows more anxious, more stressed, and more hopeless by the minute all the while the things that make for peace sit idly by. If you’ve been left feeling increasingly helpless or debilitated by despair, let Max Lucado gently steer you to greener pastures. The practical help and hope found in Help Is Here will put heaven’s wind at your back and give you the tools to reclaim your confidence.”
“Lucado offers a lifeline for every weary person on the planet. Read. Inhale the breath of Life. Know the joy and power from above.”
