The Max Lucado Collection was established in 2015 when Lucado designated his alma mater\u2019s Brown Library as the repository for materials documenting his career as a missionary, evangelist and writer. Lucado (BA, ’77 and MA ’82) was the university\u2019s Outstanding Alumnus of the Year in 2003.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was at ACU that I was found by Christ. I don\u2019t think I found him, I think he found me and literally re-routed my life and my family\u2019s for generations,\u201d Lucado said. \u201cI pray these papers can show some of that story to someone who needs a discovery of grace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tell Me the Easter Story<\/strong>
\nDuring the Easter season, Christians all over the world commemorate the death of Jesus and celebrate his resurrection. Max Lucado\u2019s books depict Christ\u2019s cross as a message of God\u2019s love, and Christ\u2019s empty tomb as evidence of God\u2019s power to renew life and hope.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThose six hours were no normal six hours. They were the most critical hours in history.

My death is not final.\u201d Includes study guides for each chapter with additional biblical readings and questions.<\/p>\n
