Anxiety comes with life. But it doesn't have to dominate your life.

Do you ever have an overwhelming sense of dread? Bombarded with “what-if’s,” always on edge, preparing for something bad to happen? According to one research program, anxiety-related issues are the number one mental health problem among women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse among men. Even students are feeling it. One psychologist reports that the average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s. Chances are, you or someone you know seriously struggles with anxiety.

New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado knows what it feels like to be overcome by the worries and fear of life, which is why he is dedicated to helping readers take back control of their minds and, as a result, their lives.

In this 64-page booklet based on one of Max’s bestselling books, Anxious for Nothing, you’ll find:

• An 11-week practical plan to overcome anxiety
• Weekly Scripture verses for meditation
• Weekly prayers to reframe anxious thoughts

Stop letting anxiety rule the day and join Max on the journey to true freedom by the power of the Spirit.

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.

Just in Case You Ever Wonder Educator's Guide is a companion to Just in Case You Ever Wonder by Max Lucado. This guide can be utilized in the classroom, in a home school setting, or by parents seeking additional resources. Ideal for 1st graders.

God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you there. He wants you to be just like Jesus. Can you think of a better offer? In Just Like Jesus, pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado reminds us that being just like Jesus feels like an impossible goal until we accept one simple truth: God loves us.

Jesus felt no guilt; God wants you to feel no guilt. Jesus had no bad habits; God wants to do away with yours. Jesus had no fears; God wants the same for you. Jesus had no anxiety about death; you needn't either. God's desire, his plan, his ultimate goal is to make you into the image of Christ. Not only does God love each of us exactly as we are, he wants us, little by little, to become like him.

He doesn't love us and leave us alone; he loves us enough to live within us, making our hearts his home. But doing so requires a bit of sprucing up, remodeling, refurnishing. Why? Because he wants us to have a heart like his too. Just Like Jesus will teach you how far God will go to transform us into his likeness.

Along the way, Max addresses questions that might arise as you examine the peaceful, passionate, and pure heart of Christ, including:

• How do we know that God wants us to be made in his image?
• How does this change occur?
• If God wants me to be just like Jesus, why do I still seem just like me?

In Just Like Jesus, Max gives you the tools you need to better understand God's gracious gift of transformation and restoration, so you, too, can start to live Just Like Jesus.

Do you feel held captive by the strongholds of resentment, guilt, or defeat?  If so, there is hope: God has already promised a victory and he has provided weapons for the fight.

In this 64-page booklet, you’ll find forty scriptures of promise and corresponding inspirational passages to encourage you that God fights for his people in difficult times. Ideal for daily reading, each segment equips you with the spiritual weapons of:

• Worship
• Scripture
• Prayer

With content from pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado, this booklet includes passages from: 

• Glory Days
• You'll Get Through This
• For the Tough Times
• and other previously published favorites

Whether you need a comforting reminder or want to share this message with a friend, this booklet will help you shift your focus from your battles to your glorious victor.

Does it ever feel like life is out of control? Could you use the reminder that God is in control?

When tragedy strikes, people desperately search for answers. Believers and unbelievers alike find themselves turning to God. Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado tells us that though it may not be quick or painless, God will use this mess for good.

In this booklet, Max Lucado will help you:

• Find courage to never give up during turbulent times
• Trust God to help you through all of life’s trials
• Remember that God will use every painful circumstance for good

Scriptures for Your Turbulent Times also included.

There really is more to this life than you've been told.

We've been demanding our way since day one ...

"I want a spouse that makes me happy and coworkers that always ask my opinion."

"I want weather that suits me and traffic that helps me and government that serves me."

Self-promotion. Self-preservation. Self-centeredness ...

"It's all about me."

They all told us it was, didn't they? And we took them up on it. We thought self-celebration would make us happy ...

But believing that has created chaos -- noisy homes, stress-filled businesses, cutthroat relationships. We've chased so many skinny rabbits, says Max Lucado, that we've missed the fat one: the God-centered life.

If you want to shift into high gear with purpose, this is it: life makes sense when we accept our place! Our pleasures, our problems, our gifts and talents ... when they're all for the One who created us, we suddenly gain what we've been missing and find what we've been seeking.

Let Max Lucado show you how to make the shift of a lifetime. How to bump your life off self-center. How to be changed and experience the meaning-charged life you were meant to have. Your discovery starts here.

En este trabajo seminal, el amado pastor y autor de gran éxito Max Lucado explora la vida y el carácter de Jesús, ahora con contenido inédito.

El Dios del universo sabe tu nombre. Ha caminado por tus calles. Jesús. Quizás hayas oído hablar de él, lo hayas estudiado o le hayas orado. ¿Pero lo conoces? Esta es la pregunta que Max plantea al lector.

Dividido en seis secciones (Emmanuel, Amigo, Maestro, Trabajador de milagros, Cordero de Dios, Rey que regresa), cada uno con varios capítulos, este libro no solo describe a la persona de Jesús, sino que también se zambulle en el corazón de Jesús hacia el lector.

Al explorar la vida, la muerte y la resurrección de Jesús, así como detalles específicos: como la forma en que interactuó con sus amigos y enemigos, lo que hizo con su tiempo solo, cómo actuó en una fiesta, etc. esta compilación de Max Lucado, ahora con contenido original nunca visto, Max les da a los lectores la oportunidad de familiarizarse con el hombre que está en el centro de la historia más grandiosa jamás contada.

Al aprender más acerca de la persona que Jesús fue y es, el lector entenderá más claramente a la persona para la cual fue creado. Max escribe: «No te conformes con una mirada superficial o una comprensión superficial. Mira mucho al corazón de Cristo y lo verás. Gracia y vida. El perdón del pecado. La derrota de la muerte. Esta es la esperanza que él da. Esta es la esperanza que necesitamos».

Un estudio bíblico de 10 secciones en el que Max Lucado le lleva a conocer a profundidad a 10 mujeres de la Biblia y lo que se puede aprender de sus experiencias.

Ni siquiera sabemos algunos de sus nombres. A algunas se las menciona sólo por su nacionalidad. A otras se las conoce sólo por el lugar en donde vivían. Algunas llegarían a ser reinas, en tanto que otras vivirían en los márgenes de la sociedad. Una daría luz a una nación, y otra daría a luz al Mesías. A menudo se pasa por alto su cultura o se resta la importancia a las contribuciones de las mujeres, y sin embargo los escritores de las Escrituras hallaron a estas mujeres y el papel que ellas cumplieron asombrosamente para narrar la historia de Dios.

Al estudiar las vidas de las mujeres de la Biblia hallamos verdades importantes que Dios quiere que captemos. Vivieron en un mundo diferente al nuestro, pero nosotros enfrentamos las mismas circunstancias que ellas. Y sin embargo, incluso más, estas mujeres nos muestran que hay un Dios que nos ve, y ve dónde estamos, y nos ama por lo que somos. Es el que se cierne sobre todas las páginas de la Biblia, forjando vidas, rescatando corazones, sanando enfermedades, revivificando a la vida lo que estuvo muerto, y asignando altas vocaciones a los que escogen seguirle y tienen fe en él.

En este cuaderno de trabajo de 10 sesiones, Max Lucado relata algunas de las experiencias favoritas de estas 10 mujeres: Sara, Abigaíl, Ester, la samaritana, María Magdalena y otras, y describe lo que las distinguió.

CADA SESIÓN INCLUYE:

• 50 estudios bíblicos a profundidad para ayudarle a estudiar los relatos bíblicos
• Puntos diarios para recordar, para ayudarle a resumir los puntos clave
• Oraciones diarias para ayudarle a concentrar sus pensamientos y avanzar en su tiempo de quietud
• Versículos semanales para memorizar para ayudarle a guardar en su corazón la palabra de Dios
• Notas adicionales para ayudarle a dirigir a un grupo en este estudio

Diez Mujeres de la Biblia es ideal para uso individual o de un grupo pequeño.
