I'm intrigued that Lucado and you, a Wesleyan, ended up working together. Of course, his abilty to be a " break out artist" is usually overlooked. My mother, a fairly old school Nazarene, loved him above any other writer. It's no secret that Nazarenes, at least, stopped reading 'holiness' literature a good while back. Part of that might be the nearly complete lack of exposure in the retail (CBD, Family Christian, Lifeway) world. Did you ever discuss doctrine or theology with Lucado?
Thanks for replying. Sounds like your mother had good taste in writers!
I discuss theological and biblical matters with Max a good bit--as that's part of what I'm around for. Part of what I try to do is think through how a very diverse readership might encounter each theological point--his audience is kinda huge. My role is not to advance my own specific brand of thinking, as much as to think like a researcher. My background encountering so many Christian traditions (and beyond) helps a little with that as I try to think "in their shoes" a bit.
Max is so God honoring in his life and scripture and Christ-centered in his writings there isn't a lot of trouble found there. Love his stuff.
Six Hours One Friday remains my favorite alongside You'll Get Through This
Great to hear--glad to know You'll Get Through This is on my list and yours!
