Summary
Bills pile up。 Savings accounts go down。 Marriages go south。 Pandemics rage。 Work goes off the rails。 Stress goes off the charts。 Suddenly， you feel powerless to calm life's chaos。 It's all too much to take on by yourself。 But pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado has great news for you--Help Is Here。
Now more than ever， we're all weary from the loads we carry and the challenges we face。 We have questions we cannot answer and problems we cannot solve。 We'd hoped that life would be an invigorating adventure or an inspiring journey。 We never expected to grow so tired so quickly。 But Max teaches us that we can find fresh strength and purpose in the power of the Holy Spirit。
The Bible makes more than a hundred references to the Holy Spirit， and Jesus says more about the Spirit than he does about the church， marriage， finances， and the future。 But do we really know the Spirit？ In Help Is Here， Max will give you the tools and encouragement you need to:
Learn who the Spirit is and how the Spirit can help
Become joyful， enthusiastic， and empowered as you draw closer to God
Confidently take on any difficulty with the power of the Spirit
Discover your unique gifts and purpose to further God's kingdom
Help Is Here reminds us that our Good Shepherd doesn't just feed us; he leads us。 He does more than correct us; he directs us。 God keeps us on track--and best of all， he's commissioned the Holy Spirit to guide us down the winding roads of life， wherever they may lead us。
No more walking this path alone。 No more carrying weight you were not intended to bear。 It's time for you to enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the vigorous life he offers。 You can rest easy knowing that Help Is Here。

Max delivers the Lord’s messages in ways that are so easy to understanding。 He has a true gift。 I was one that felt pretty in tune with the spirit and listening to the Lord。 This book gave me insights I didn’t know I needed。 I learned more than i thought I needed to and it’s all true and pure Jesus。 This book definitely takes my relationship with the spirit to the next level。

Help Is Here is the book I never knew I needed！ I thought I had a pretty good grasp of the Holy Spirit up until this point， but I had no idea all that I didn't know！ Max Lucado breaks complex Scriptures and concepts down into understandable & relatable parts as only he can。 This will be a book that I read many times and still need to hear！ Help Is Here is the book I never knew I needed！ I thought I had a pretty good grasp of the Holy Spirit up until this point， but I had no idea all that I didn't know！ Max Lucado breaks complex Scriptures and concepts down into understandable & relatable parts as only he can。 This will be a book that I read many times and still need to hear！ 。。。more

I like Max Lucado’s writing style。 After reading the book title I was curious to see if his style would match the topic。 I found this book to be one of my favorites！ The Holy Spirit has been a difficult theological concept for me。 After reading Max’s latest book I take comfort in The Holy Spirit。 The book changed my view of the Holy Spirit from one to enforce God’s commandments ， and therefore a strict authoritative source in my life to a intercessor on my behalf， my advocate， even a loving pers I like Max Lucado’s writing style。 After reading the book title I was curious to see if his style would match the topic。 I found this book to be one of my favorites！ The Holy Spirit has been a difficult theological concept for me。 After reading Max’s latest book I take comfort in The Holy Spirit。 The book changed my view of the Holy Spirit from one to enforce God’s commandments ， and therefore a strict authoritative source in my life to a intercessor on my behalf， my advocate， even a loving person who speaks on my behalf when I’m too broken， sick， tired to find the words I want to express to God。 I read this book as if Max was having a conversation directly with me。 I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand The Holy Spirit’s part in the trinity more in terms of everyday life than merely in theological perspective。 。。。more

I had the privilege to be part of a launch team on Max Lucado soon to be released book "Help Is Here"。 This book is a MUST-read！ It is very refreshing and powerful。 Help is Here is about the Holy Spirit and Max uses different versions of the Bible which I appreciate along with some personal experiences with his family。 This book made me SLOW down and be more aware of the Holy Spirit 。 I highly recommend this book to everyone。 Our family has read many books by Max Lucado this is a great one too！ I had the privilege to be part of a launch team on Max Lucado soon to be released book "Help Is Here"。 This book is a MUST-read！ It is very refreshing and powerful。 Help is Here is about the Holy Spirit and Max uses different versions of the Bible which I appreciate along with some personal experiences with his family。 This book made me SLOW down and be more aware of the Holy Spirit 。 I highly recommend this book to everyone。 Our family has read many books by Max Lucado this is a great one too！ This book is released is on September 13， 2022 。https://www。amazon。com/Help-Here-Faci。。。 。。。more

Max Lucado does it again。 I love how he takes a difficult theological topic， such as the trinity and the Holy Spirit， and brings it down to earth。 Hitting home the idea we cannot do this alone， he shows the purpose of The Spirit by giving real life examples of what this looks like。 Concepts like The Spirit as a teacher， an intercessor， a calmer， a cleanser， a guide， and a guard show how we are never alone。 Life may not be perfect but we always have a major force in our corner。 Help is truly here Max Lucado does it again。 I love how he takes a difficult theological topic， such as the trinity and the Holy Spirit， and brings it down to earth。 Hitting home the idea we cannot do this alone， he shows the purpose of The Spirit by giving real life examples of what this looks like。 Concepts like The Spirit as a teacher， an intercessor， a calmer， a cleanser， a guide， and a guard show how we are never alone。 Life may not be perfect but we always have a major force in our corner。 Help is truly here。 。。。more

This book is a must read。 In the usual Max Lucado style he brings theology down to an elementary level。 He describes in story how the Holy Spirit comforts and counsels and strengthens us all day long。 When you think you are alone， you must remember you have a friend with you。 He listens and provides wisdom。 I love how Max can tell a story and directly tie it to a bible verse。 This book is biblically based but it’s not dry or hard to understand。 It’s comforting and strengthening。 We have help alw This book is a must read。 In the usual Max Lucado style he brings theology down to an elementary level。 He describes in story how the Holy Spirit comforts and counsels and strengthens us all day long。 When you think you are alone， you must remember you have a friend with you。 He listens and provides wisdom。 I love how Max can tell a story and directly tie it to a bible verse。 This book is biblically based but it’s not dry or hard to understand。 It’s comforting and strengthening。 We have help always and we are always loved。 Just ask。 Just call。 He’s always there。 Awesome book。 And a must read 。。。more

The Holy Spirit is the least understood element of the Trinity， so it’s good news that “Help Is Here”！ Lucado is a master at knitting together scripture， stories， and fascinating facts for the average person。 The piece that holds the power of peace， strength， and purpose are fresh for our times on these pages。 I couldn’t put it down and couldn’t wait to start it again when I got to the last page。 Thank you Max Lucado！

Max Lucado is one of my favorite， down-to-earth， story telling Pastors and Authors。 He weaves everyday life with Biblical verses and examples of who the Holy Spirit is， how He works in our lives， and what we need to do to stay connected。 Book sellers may not like me saying so， but there's no need to buy a study guide with this one due to the guided， in depth， questions for each chapter at the end of the book。 I plan on giving one or two copies to friends and that， to me， is one of the best recom Max Lucado is one of my favorite， down-to-earth， story telling Pastors and Authors。 He weaves everyday life with Biblical verses and examples of who the Holy Spirit is， how He works in our lives， and what we need to do to stay connected。 Book sellers may not like me saying so， but there's no need to buy a study guide with this one due to the guided， in depth， questions for each chapter at the end of the book。 I plan on giving one or two copies to friends and that， to me， is one of the best recommendations。 。。。more

Max has done it again！ This is a writing that speaks to the heart。 Right now I'm nearing the end。 And have already reread it as I go along。 Makes for much slower read， however this allows more time for reflection。 There are times when what I desire most is to pray and then let God do it。 Max powerfully lets us know that those gifts of the Spirit were meant for us。 We are the Superheroes。 All that we receive for not on！y our good， but those around us。THANK YOU！ Carol Sbresny Niedfeldt Max has done it again！ This is a writing that speaks to the heart。 Right now I'm nearing the end。 And have already reread it as I go along。 Makes for much slower read， however this allows more time for reflection。 There are times when what I desire most is to pray and then let God do it。 Max powerfully lets us know that those gifts of the Spirit were meant for us。 We are the Superheroes。 All that we receive for not on！y our good， but those around us。THANK YOU！ Carol Sbresny Niedfeldt 。。。more

Another friendly， beautifully written book by Max Lucado。 I love how he makes everything feel relatable with his rhythmic cadence。 The Holy Spirit was never explained so easy and enjoyable。 I learned things I never knew before！ Short read with great questions for each chapter to enhance the experience of this book！ I recommend 1000%

This book is fantastic！ Max Lucado has a knack of making any subject matter interesting。 He explains things by telling the reader stories that make it personal。 And all his stories point you to Jesus。 This book teaches about the Holy Spirit - he uses down to earth language， and makes you feel like he is sitting in your living room having a cup of coffee， and just discussing the Holy Spirit with you。 It’s a book that you can read multiple times and get something new out of it each time。 I highly This book is fantastic！ Max Lucado has a knack of making any subject matter interesting。 He explains things by telling the reader stories that make it personal。 And all his stories point you to Jesus。 This book teaches about the Holy Spirit - he uses down to earth language， and makes you feel like he is sitting in your living room having a cup of coffee， and just discussing the Holy Spirit with you。 It’s a book that you can read multiple times and get something new out of it each time。 I highly recommend this book - it’s absolutely wonderful！ 。。。more

Max is an amazing story teller。 Throughout this encouraging book， there are valuable nuggets of the Bible referenced。 I have learned so much about the Spirit and how she works in us。 We just need to cry out to God for help when anxiety shows up。 I highly recommend this book 。

Such an amazing book that is relevant to everyone in such a time as this。 Practical ways to look to God in every day situations to keep us focused on him instead of the world。 Max Lucado always writes in a way that brings the Bible to life and helps me see Jesus in modern times。 Amazing book beginning to end。

I mean it’s Max so need I say more？ Oh ok you want to know。 This book on the Holy Spirit is here at the right time in this mixed up and crazy world we currently live in。 This book is a needed reminder on everything we know about the Holy Spirit。 If your new to our world it’s a great book to pick up and start learning。 The Holy Spirit is the third person of the trinity。 He lives inside us。 He’s important to know。
