ⓘ About Max Lucado
Max Lucado was born in San Antonio, Texas on January 11, 1955 and was the youngest of four kids to Thelma and Jack Lucado. He grew up in Andrews, Texas and his childhood was both simple and idyllic. His dad worked in an oil field, as his mom served as a nurse. During his childhood, he was chased or was chasing Dee, his beloved brother. Once he was a teen, his rebellion began. Max started wondering if there was more to life than chasing girls and parties after a specific drunken night. He believes now if Jesus had not changed his heart around, alcoholism would have been a part of his future. He went to Abilene Christian University and got an undergraduate degree in Mass Communication.
