Contact: Jana Muntsinger, MMPR February 13, 2012, Nashville, TN—Thomas Nelson announces the next trade book from Max Lucado—GRACE: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine (Hardcover, September 18, 2012). This all-new book from pastor and internationally bestselling author Max Lucado marks his 29th adult trade book, and this is his first title to explore not only what grace is, but also what it does and why it is essential. “Grace is God’s best idea,” Lucado explains. “His decision to ravage people by love, to rescue passionately, and restore justly—what rivals it? Of all his wondrous works, grace, in my estimation, is the magnum opus.” In GRACE, Lucado asks deeper questions about grace, avoiding easy platitudes. “Have you been changed by grace? Shaped by grace? Strengthened by grace? Emboldened by grace? Softened by grace? Snatched by the nape of your neck and shaken to your senses by grace?” He continues: “God’s grace has a wildness about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it.” Thomas Nelson will release GRACE with a $250,000 launch budget, including:
In addition, Lucado will embark on an international conference speaking tour to coincide with the release of GRACE. The highlights of this tour include keynote speeches at multiple Women of Faith events, Women of Joy conference and World Mandate 2012.
