Even children experience lonely moments. When they do, this book reminds them that you will always be there, and God is right there too. Max Lucado's comforting words reinforce the thought that no matter what happens—the good and bad, the firsts and lasts—children will never be alone . . . just in case they ever wonder.

What is the message behind the miracles of Jesus? Max Lucado will take you and your study group on an investigation of the Gospel of John to answer this question and to show us that our miracle-working God is always nearer than we think. When Jesus healed the sick, walked on water, resurrected Lazarus, and turned water into wine, what do these miraculous signs mean for us? What do they tell us about our God? John chose the stories and events from Jesus' life that he believed would make his readers understand this essential message about who Jesus is: that God is with us.

For 33 years, Jesus felt everything that we have ever felt: weakness, weariness, rejections. He got colds. His feelings got hurt. His feet grew tired. His head ached. To think of Jesus in such terms almost seems irreverent. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. Clean up the manure from around the manger. Wipe the sweat out of his eyes. Pretend he never snored or hit his thumb with a hammer. There is something about keeping Jesus divine that keeps him distant, packaged, and predictable.

In this four-session study, best-selling author Max Lucado reveals his struggles with prayer and how he discovered that it is not a privilege for the pious or the art of a chosen few, but a simple tool everyone has been given to have a conversation with God.

The Holy Spirit is a mystery to many of us today. We understand the nature and character of God the Father. We have no problem comprehending Jesus the Son and the sacrifice he made for us on the cross. But the Holy Spirit? We tend to hem, ham, and search for words when trying to describe him and the role he performs in our lives. Part of the challenge may be found in the terms. We understand God as a Father. Jesus as a Son. But God as Spirit? The word itself is mystical.

There’s a path to happiness that always delivers. Our culture tries to convince us there is one way to happiness: aspire, acquire, desire, retire. Happiness depends on what we hang in our closet, park in our garage, and deposit in our bank account. Yet, it’s a path that always fails to deliver. In this Bible study, best-selling author Max Lucado looks at several “one another” statements in the Bible that reveal how the happiest people on earth aren’t those who have the most but those who are willing to give the most away.

In this five-session audio Bible study, you will see how God used Jacob—the misbehaving patriarch who was strong on savvy but weak on conscience—simply because God chose to use Jacob.
