Max Lucado

I find Max Lucado fascinating less for his theology than for his command of plain language. Born in San Angelo, Texas, and educated at Abilene Christian University, he has spent decades as a minister in San Antonio while reaching millions through his books. What impresses me is the skill of translating complex spiritual ideas into prose so gentle and accessible that it slips quietly past a reader's defenses. That is a genuine literary gift, not a given of his vocation. Whatever one believes, the ability to comfort and steady anxious readers through words alone deserves real respect, and Lucado clearly has it.
