Well known pastor and best-selling author, Max Lucado has promised that all of the royalties from his latest book would benefit children and single mothers.
In his 25th year of book publishing, Lucado has partnered himself with the international Christian aid group, World Vision, to secure sponsorships for 25,000 currently unsponsored children.
“None of us can help everyone. But all of us can help someone,” says Lucado, who is marking this year with a call for people, churches and communities to pursue “compassionate living.”
Lucado’s latest book, “Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference,” will be released next month and implores readers to live in such a way that they make a difference for those who live on the margins of society.
World Vision is not the only organization that will benefit from the royalties of Lucado’s book. Portions will also be donated to the James 1:27 Foundation, which seeks to provide financial, emotional and spiritual assistance to women and children in times of distress.
In the span of his 25 year writing career, Lucado has had more than 65 million books in print and has regularly featured on the bestseller lists of The New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly and Evangelical Christian Publishers Association.
