Max Lucado Biography

Max Lucado is the Senior Minister at Oak Hills Church, best-selling Christian author and writer. He was born on January 11, 1955 in San Angelo, Texas.

Lucado attended Andrews High School, Andrews, TX. He went on to Abilene Christian University in Abilene, TX, where he received an undergraduate degree in Mass Communication. He also holds a masters degree in Biblical and Related Studies, from Abilene Christian University, Abilene, TX.

After graduation, Max set out on his mission to communicate the grace and mercy of God he had discovered. His first assignment was as the associate pastor of a small church in Miami, Florida, where he was able to develop his passion for people, ministry, and writing through a column in their weekly newsletter. In Florida, he also married Denalyn, now his wife of more than three decades.

In 1983, Max and Denalyn moved to Rio de Janeiro to help plant churches. During their five years in Brazil, Max continued to write, updating friends and family about their ministry. Eventually Max gathered the Rio newsletters and Florida columns into a manuscript and sent them off to fifteen publishers. After multiple rejections, one publisher finally said yes.

That first book, On the Anvil, was published in 1985. His writing has been translated into more than 54 languages, and has been featured in countless national media outlets. Lucado was dubbed “America’s Pastor” by Christianity Today, Reader’s Digest called him “The Best Preacher in America,” and The New York Times named him one of the most influential leaders in social media. In addition to books, Lucado’s writing has been shaped into an additional 20 million products sold, including videos, devotionals, songs, plush toys, greeting cards, booklets, Bible studies, commentaries and theatrically-released movies.
