Order of Max Lucado Books

Max Lucado is a prominent author from Texas, with his works featured on the bestsellers lists of the New York Times, USA Today, and the Christian Booksellers Association. Born in San Angelo, Texas, in 1955, he was the youngest of four siblings and the son of an oil mechanic. Although his parents sought to instill religious values in him from an early age, he rebelled during his teenage years and throughout college. Eventually, he returned to his faith, became a missionary, and later took on the role of a minister while also writing in his spare time.

Max Lucado became a published novelist in 1985 with the novel No Wonder They Call Him the Savior. Below is a list of Max Lucado's books in order of when they were originally released:
