When you hear the name Max Lucado, what comes to mind for you?
Max Lucado is best known as a pastor, speaker, best-selling inspirational author, and, in many Christian families, he’s a household name.
His books are written for everyone—especially those who are hurting, lonely, and discouraged. In his writing, he constantly points his readers back to the truth: that God loves you and you should let Him love you.
Max is also an author of children’s books, several of which are favorites around here. 😊
Sarah invited him to Read-Aloud Revival to discuss his newest picture book, Just in Case You Ever Feel Alone, illustrated by Eve Tharlet. It’s a cozy, gentle book, perfect for snuggling up and sharing with your kiddos.
How are stories uniquely positioned to help readers feel seen and understood? Which books did Max Lucado love as a child? And what does he hope his books will do in the lives of his readers, young and old? We dig into all of it.
Listen in to hear:
• The power of stories to meet people where they are and touch their hearts • Why Max Lucado wanted to write a book about loneliness • How reading with your kids builds their sense of comfort and safety
