When the world feels like it's pulling you under, God has a way of pulling you up: His Word.

Turn the pages of the Bible and you'll read stories of real people, with real problems, real joys, and a real Savior. Chronicles of faith, miracles, misdeeds, and good deeds. Kings, queens, peasants—the uncommon and the commonplace. Turn the pages again and read tales of clashing conquerors, brave shepherds, and a captivating Carpenter. In The Lucado Encouraging Word Bible, walk through the Scriptures with notes and devotions by Pastor Max Lucado and see that what happened on these pages is still happening today—that the truths of old are truths for today.
