Max on Life by Max Lucado We have questions. Real, important, and challenging questions. In Max on Life, Max Lucado answers some of the thousands of questions he has received as well as some of his own questions.

Project 365 – #107 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her.

Project 365 – #104 Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high? On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on the rocky crag and stronghold. From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it from far away. ~Job 39:26-29~ There is something majestic about a hawk soaring overhead.  The hawks ride the currents – drifting up, down, and side-to-side.  While the hawks are being carried by the wind, they are closely scanning…
