Ta deg tid på Golgathøyden. La fingeren gli over den store tømmerstokken, og la naglene føles mot hånden. Smak på den billige eddikvinen og kjenn rispet fra en torn i pannen. Rør ved den grove jorda, fuktig av Guds Sønns blod. La smertens redskaper fortelle sin historie. Lytt når de vil vise deg noe om hva Gud gjorde for å vinne ditt hjerte.
Mye er skrevet om korsets gave, men hva med de andre gavene? Hva med naglene og tornekronen? Hva med klærne som de tok fra Jesus? Hva var meningen med skiltet over hodet hans?
Her er en annerledes bok om påskens begivenheter. Max Lucado er en av Amerikas mest etterspurte forkynnere og forfattere. Han spenner vidt, fra løssluppen humor til frodig fantasi, fra grunnlærd bibelforskning til inderlig, personlig anvendelse av Guds ord inn i vårt daglige liv.
Det amerikanske forlaget presenterer forfatteren slik: "Max Lucado har et velsignet kall: Denalyn kaller ham kjæresten sin, Jenny, Andrea og Sara kaller ham pappa'n sin, medlemmene av Oak Hills Church of Christ i San Antonio, Texas, kaller ham forkynneren sin, og Gud kaller ham sin. Ikke dårlig hva?"
Max Lucado ( - )
Max Lucado is a preacher with a storyteller’s gift—a pastor’s heart and a poet’s pen. Max’s sermons begin at home with the congregation at Oak Hills Church, which he has led for more than two decades. It is in this setting that his stories are first told, from a pastor’s heart. Eventually some of these sermons and stories are refined and fashioned into books that are shared far beyond the walls of Oak Hills and the city limits of San Antonio, Texas. Max’s words have traveled around the world in more than 41 languages via more than 100 million individual products.Max Lucado’s first book, On the Anvil, was published in 1985. 2013 brings the release of Max’s 30th trade book, You’ll Get Through This (September), which beautifully illustrates Lucado’s ongoing mission to encourage the brokenhearted and to remind all readers of the healing love of God. Max and family moved back to Texas in 1988, and Max has been a minister at Oak Hills Church ever since. Max and Denalyn have three grown daughters, two in ministry, one in publishing, and one son-in-law, also serving in ministry.
Max Lucado is a best-selling Christian author and minister of writing and preaching at Oak Hills Church (formerly the Oak Hills Church of Christ) in San Antonio, Texas. Lucado has written more than 50 books with 28 million copies in print.
After serving as the pulpit minister for 20 years, Lucado announced in early 2007 that he was stepping down due to health concerns related to atrial fibrillation. Lucado has since assumed the ministry role of writing and preaching at Oak Hills. He co-pastors the church with one of Willow Creek's former teaching pastors, Randy Frazee.
Lucado was named "America's Pastor" by Christianity Today magazine and in 2005 was named by Reader's Digest as "The Best Preacher in America." He has been featured on The Fox News Channel, NBC Nightly News, Larry King Live, and USA Today. His books are regularly on the New York Times Best Seller List. He has been featured speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast.
