Maxs leadership and beautiful testimonies throughout these pages have encouraged and equipped me in how to embrace the Holy Spirit and choose praise instead of panic. Through his stories and deep knowledge, Max lovingly reminds us that worship and praise are the answers for our anxiety-ridden, overworked, and overstressed pace of life.

Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Christ and The Case for Heaven

Max Lucados brilliant mind and tender heart are on display once again in his newest book, Help Is Here. Max combines his renowned storytelling with powerful, biblical revelation about the person of the Holy Spirit. This is a beautiful and important book. Nothing stretches the imagination more than recognizing that God gives Himself to us as an inheritance. The person of the Holy Spirit is our greatest gift, and it is our delight to learn how to host Him well. Everything true, noble, and beautiful in us comes from the Father, who filled us with His Spirit, empowering us to do what was humanly impossible. We have been called to be, as Max writes, the supernatural expression of God on the planet. What a privilege; what a responsibility; what a joy.

Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, Redding, California; author of Open Heavens and Born for Significance

Few people in the evangelical world write with the penetrating insight and persuasive clarity as does my friend Max Lucado. This book testifies to that once again. When Max first informed me that he was writing a book on the Holy Spirit, I knew in an instant the impact it would have. Many who have followed Maxs ministry through the years will be surprised when they discover that he now believes in the contemporary validity of all spiritual gifts in the life of the church today. Maxs thoroughly biblical case for the work of the Spirit will challenge and, ultimately, persuade you of its truth, and greatly encourage you to seek for an even greater manifestation of the Spirits power in your life. I highly and happily recommend it.

Max Lucado is not only a hugely talented writer, he also has insights into spiritual truths which draw us all closer to Jesus.

Nicky Gumbel, pioneer of Alpha

The Holy Spirit... the most misunderstood, misrepresented member of the Trinityand yet, before Jesus ascended into heaven He told his disciples not to leave Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit had come upon them. The promise was that they would receive power from on high. Who doesnt want that? Who doesnt need that? Let Max walk you through the amazing scriptures that describe the wonder, the promise, and the power of the Holy Spirit, who is available and so necessary for each and every one of us who follow Jesus. Thank you, Max... we needed this!

Terry Meeuwsen, cohost, The 700 Club; founder, Orphans Promise

Max Lucados honoring of Jesus Free Gift of the Holy Spirit to every Christian believer, apart from any deserving preconditions or surrenderings whatsoever in order to deserve this Spirit, is full of encouragements to be simply and daily alive to this Indwelling One! I warmly recommend Lucados wise counsel.

Dr. Frederick Dale Bruner, Professor of Theology Emeritus, Whitworth University

Reading the Bible, prayer, church, time spent away from the endless scroll of social media and 24/7 news... A life of peace is not out of reach but, as its been said, the easy things to do are also easy not to do. Our culture grows more anxious, more stressed, and more hopeless by the minute all the while the things that make for peace sit idly by. If youve been left feeling increasingly helpless or debilitated by despair, let Max Lucado gently steer you to greener pastures. The practical help and hope found in Help Is Here will put heavens wind at your back and give you the tools to reclaim your confidence.

Levi Lusko, lead pastor of Fresh Life Church and bestselling author
