Do you ever feel like Jesus couldn’t possibly know what you are going through? He’s the God of the universe after all! Does he really know your daily struggles? The good news is: he does.
For thirty-three years Jesus felt everything you have ever felt. Weakness. Weariness. Sadness. Rejection. His feet got tired. And his head ached. He was tempted and his strength was tested. And you know why? Because in becoming human, Jesus made it possible for us to see God. His tears, God’s tears. His voice, God’s voice. Want to know what matters to God? Find out what matters to Jesus. Want to know what in the world God is doing? Ponder the words and life of Jesus.
For more than three decades, pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado has shown us Jesus. In this capstone book, he takes us further on the journey to know the life and character of the Savior.
This book describes both the person Jesus was on earth and how to live in a personal relationship with him and is divided into six sections:
- Immanuel
- Friend
- Teacher
- Miracle Worker
- Lamb of God
- Returning King
By exploring Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection as well as specific details like how he interacted with his friends and his enemies, what he did with time alone, how he acted at a party, this compilation from Max Lucado—now with original never-before-read content from Max—gives readers the chance to become more familiar with the man at the center of the greatest story ever told.
Max writes “Don’t settle for a cursory glance or a superficial understanding. Look long into the heart of Christ and you’ll see it. Grace and life. Forgiveness of sin. The defeat of death. This is the hope he gives.”
Jesus wants you to know him. As you read these pages, may the Hero of all history talk to you personally, and may you find in him the answer to your deepest needs.

A emotionally challenging invitation to think on Jesus!
It saddens my heart that we are so quick to judge one another. I read one review that was rather harsh and it truly was what compelled me to write a review. I love this book. It moved my heart towards my Savior. It spurred me on to remember more frequently to give God the thanks and praise that is His due....for sending Jesus....for Jesus coming and all because He loves us. My brother, Max, did an awesome job giving us a imaginative and creative look at what it was for Jesus to be born on this broken earth. It did not in anyway go against any scripture that I know. On the contrary it bespoke of the wonder that the God of the Universe would go to such lengths to draw us to His heart.
Jesus
I just lost my most beautiful & prized possession, my wife, to this coved-19 virus. There was a key part for me in this book, when the author stated that Jesus stated to the thief “this day you’ll be with me in paradise “. That’s exactly the same thought that I had when my wife passed. That same statement was confirmed to me by other friends, some who don’t even each other. Overall, the book was a joy to read, especially the part about the Jesus laughing portrait, that was presented to Max by a cigar carrying minister. I love having a cigar, but there’s certain “Christian” circles that I’d never light up in, because I know they’d condemn me. Max statements on Grace reach deep into my soul & I’m thankful for his insight. I’ll end with this, my wife was a deeply loving person who strayed from her lord & savior. Prior to going on the ventilator we prayed together, she couldn’t respond, was in to much pain & labored breathing. The nurses, doctors had us on FaceTime & all she could do was stare into the camera with her wide loving eyes. Jesus gave me such an overwhelming aura of peace that my wife re-dedicated her life back to him. Thank you for your books Max, they have truly been a blessing to me.
Jesus
I love the conversational writing of Pastor Lucado as he makes the life of Jesus become very relatable to the reader. He expresses that Jesus desires to have a relationship with us and that Jesus knows everything about us. Pastor Lucado makes it easy for the reader to feel like they can know Jesus on a personal level.
Another Favorite Max Lucado Book! Love it!
Wow! I just received this today, and I’m already incredibly blessed—and I’ve only read the INTRODUCTION! Max Lucado is quite the gifted writer who never fails to communicate the reality of God’s love to my heart. What a wordsmith! This is definitely going to be one of my Max favorites. 💙 If you’ve never read one of Max Lucado’s books, please try this one. You will love it!
Very inspiring
At first glance I was disappointed because it is a book put together by piecing parts of other books. I almost sent it back. I did find out it had some new material and I love his writings so I still read and glad I did. It is so well written and gives such a good light on Jesus’ character it is worth the read. I felt very uplifted and inspired. It does through different aspects to show exactly how much Jesus gave for us. It was exactly what I needed at the time.
Need this book
Excellent book. Reading Max is like a personal visit with him. Always learn something new about Jesus and about mysel. Cant read Max enough
Amazing book
What an amazing book! You need to read this
So far so good
Description, accessories, photograph, website presentation, and what arrived are the same-size, shape, color, and it matched my expectations. The product(s) arrived on time, as described by Amazon & manufacturer, it was shipped without issue, arrived within prescribed estimates, the packaging was undamaged, and the product itself was unmolested and made with quality materials. I'll update my review if there is anything compelling one way or the other.
I really wanted to like this book
This is the first Max Lucado book that I have read, and I was very disappointed. In all fairness, this book may be helpful to someone who is not a Christian but seeking, but for anyone who is a Christian, I think that it's too dumbed-down to be very meaningful. I have a couple of disagreements with him theologically, but that's not usually a problem for me since to me it makes sense to read things that you don't necessarily agree with. I did not like the writing style. Lucado takes great liberties in embellishing the biblical narrative, and his additions to the stories were not in any way helpful to my understanding of the truth that scripture represents. It seemed like Christian entertainment rather than an aid to people seeking to find depth in their walk with Jesus.
Well Done
This was the first book written by Max Lucado that I have read. I can assure you that it is the first of many that I will read by this author and teacher. I needed to read a good book about Jesus that was well written, insightful and personal to help in my journey in knowing and understanding Christ. Max did not fail me. This book is not "preachy;" nor to simple . It is pertinent and relevant and touching. I have found an author who will enhance my Bible reading and connection to God. I highly recommend this book.

The greatest gift offered to humanity is Christ Jesus!
I loved this book because Max portrays how perfectly Christ loves us. It was thought provoking and inspiring. I study the Bible everyday and still I missed a few points that Max made, supported with scripture. The book is well written and well organized, making it easy to read and hard to put down. I do not say this lightly since I am also an author of historical dramas (Journey of the Pearl, Quest of the Sapphire, and soon to be released, Secret of the Ruby, featuring Centurion Longinus, the soldier assigned to crucify Jesus) I have read other books by Max and watched his videos. I find it very helpful to learn another "take" on the beauty of God's plan for each one of us.
Wonderful Overview
Max has a special gift when it comes to explaining things and getting to the heart of the matter. He challenged me to think deeply and review my life as it relates to Jesus now and for eternity. I could go on, but I will just finish by saying, it was a great book, and every Christian, whether new to the faith, or an old timer like me, should read and meditate on the content presented in this special book.
pretty good book.
I'm about 2/3 the way through it. Mostly some pretty good chapters. The chapters are short -- good for a daily read in a short period. Puts a thought in your head to reflect on the rest of the day.
Max Lucado’s writings are easy reading to read, and are theologically sound!
We enjoy the writing of Max Lucado and have more than 35 of his books. I highly recommend his books for anyone who enjoys good Christian reading.
Max Lucado, author extrodinaire!!!
Such a great read that I had to force myself to limit my nightly reading so I didn't fly through it in a couple of nights!!! His writing style is so clear and down-to-earth as well as highly entertaining that regardless of what anyone's spiritual background is, the message is plain as day without being preachy!!
Thought provoking, inspiring, fantastic book.
This is a great boo!!. It is thought-provoking. fantastic book. I have rationed this book. I read about 20 minutes a day. I read it with a highlighter. I want this book to last :-) Lucado is a fantastic author!!! You owe it to yourself to get to know Jesus, and Max Lucado!!!
You Are Invited to Take a Personal Look at Jesus
Max Lucado writes as if he were speaking and his message speaks directly to your heart. He defiantly spoke to me with "Jesus: The God Who Knows Your Name." Lucado examines the birth, life, death, resurrection, and future return of Christ in a way that is personal to the reader. Yes, Jesus does know your name and He wants you to know Him. If you read this book, it could make an eternal difference in you life.
great book
I got the Kindle version of this book. I read all of Max Lucado's books and this is one of his very best. Love the way he uses his sense of humor to keep you interested in reading about Jesus and His life and how to apply God's Word to your own life.
Best Max Lucado book yet!
I like Max Lucado, but sometimes I have to be in just the right frame of mind. This one is a "right time, right word" book--I wept my way through it, as God brought me out of a bleak depression. I've now ordered several for friends. Get it, read it, you'll be BLESSED.
Another great Max Lucado read!!
I'm a big Max Lucado fan...This book, like all the rest he has written, is such a blessing... No one writes like Max. My only complaint EVER with his books is that I am always disappointed when they are OVER....I keep wanting MORE (so I just order the next book he writes)!!! GREAT READ...as always....with Max Lucado...
Important book
The subject of this book is the best, it is very readable, interesting and touches my heart in just the right spot.
Impactful
Max Lucado has such an easy-going way of bringing the most important matters home to the heart. This book helped me better understand who Jesus is, who he was in his humanity, and why that mattered.
Well done
Max has a way of making the life of Jesus, death and resurrection understandable - human and present in out ordinary lives without relying on the hell, fire and brimstone fear factor spin so many religious writers/pastors rely on. Sin hurts us, the answer, get closer to God and Jesus teaches us how.
Absolutely Awesome
Once again, Max has hit it out of the park. He speaks truth and if you let it, the truth will set you free. Now that I'm done reading this book, it may be time to do the study that I got to go with it. Time for another conversation....
Jesus like never before
Max really made Jesus come alive for me as he showed just how much He became human. It is hard to imagine that the One who was there from the beginning gave all that up to become a little baby needing a mother to raise Him.
A great easy to read and informative book
I bought this book to read as a work up to Easter. I read a little each day opening my heart and mind to who Jesus is. I greatly enjoyed Max’s inside and new way of looking at passages I have looked at many times before. I purchased the book and the workbook together and I used both and I am very glad I did.
Book turned devotional.
I read it. I love it as I do all Max's books, and I have decided to read a little of it as a devotional each day. It soothed me. Or was it feeling closer to Jesus that soothed me...... Highly recommended.
Good Read
I always love a book by Max Lucado! I always learn so much and always feel closer to God. Such an anointed writer!
Another Excellent Read from Max
Really good read about who Jesus was and is! Max did an excellent job at telling the facts and truth about Jesus while clearing up misconceptions about Jesus. He also described who is to us and for us!
Amazing book
Lucado speaks beautifully in words about a loving Savior. He has humor and poinant sections that will bring tears to your eyes. Everyone can deepen their faith and get to know a God who knows you and loves you.
Good book!
Another good book by Pastor Lucado! I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone looking to find simplicity in their life. He has such a great way of explaining things. Thank you Pastor Lucado for another good book!
Beauty in simplicity
How Pastor Max Lucado simplified the acts and responses of our Lord Jesus Christ in words that we can relate. You will have a different outlook and understanding of the Love of Jesus Christ.
GREAT BOOK TO FEEL CLOSER TO JESUS!
So well written in "everyday" down to earth language. Just loved it and gave my copy to a friend. Highly recommend it! You really get the sense of Jesus as both friend and Redeemer.
Eh No Me Gustó
Empecé leer el libro pensando qué Iba enséñame más de Cristo y darme mucho ejemplos biblicos. Pero leyendo el libro hasta el capítulo 4, Sentí que era pura opiniones del autor y No era serio en la forma que escribo. Lo regresé.
Nice cover
I wanted to buy this to give to one of my Elders and Bible Study Teacher, so when I received this book, I started reading it, and will have to buy another to give, because I am keeping this one. Thank you
All about jesus
I love all of the books that Max writes.They teach me about Jesus.He shows me things about my Savior that are real and things I did not know.
Awesome book about the most awesome saviour
Great read, this book answered questions I have had for years. I love the part were Max explain Jesus taking on our sins on the cross. I always believed that,but now I understand how he did it. I love the story of Jesus smiling. I like that concept a lot. Made me smile.
Jesus is a good read
Max Lucado takes his Bible scholastic knowledge to a newer consideration and complete level in this book. It’s worth your time and worth a share.
Making Jesus Tangible
This book is classic, poignant Max Lucado. It makes Jesus tangibly accessible, both in His divinity and humanity. Excellent read!
Great book!
Easy to read and at the same time this book is powerful. Max Lucado changed my perspective on Jesus. I feel him a lot closer now.
Start an important relationship to last a lifetime
A wonderful writing about your relationship with God and you feel that you are more aware of his closeness
Good simple book
This is a really great book. I appreciated reading it and have grown a little bit more spiritually because of it
Max!

Jesus: The God Who Knows Your Name

Can't say enough about Max Lucado. Written with true heart! A beauty in all his words!!
Uplifting!
Instills Jesus in your heart! What He has done for me, because of His love for me, is unimaginable! My prayer is everyone would read this book and let the Lord change their hearts -- softening and molding His love through us to others.
A Great book
Excellent Book for young Pastor's or anyone who follows the Lord
Encouragement
Encouraging reminder of who Jesus is and all He has done and wants to do for us if we simply humble ourselves before a Humble Savior.
Definitely worth reading
I really like Max's writing style, he makes spirituality real and relevant.
One of Max Lucado's Best Books Ever!
I am a huge fan of Max Lucado and this one will not disappoint! Feels like God is right next to year, cheering you on with His love and support....we just need to look!
Revealing
This author opened up a new view of the man, Jesus, that gave me a more approachable relationship with him. Max explains things in common words that maintains the dignity but allows for human qualities. It allows for a more meaningful bond with him.
God loves us!!!
Wonderful subject, Wonderful book, Wonderful author!!!
Loved this book
It is always refreshing to get clear revelation on the life of Christ. I love how the author makes it concise and proficient in understanding the love of God through Jesus.
The best yet!!

Awesome book that reminds me who Jesus is.
Jesus suffered many things in tbe flesh, He didn't have to but He did, Why? Because He loves us. Max Lucado explains the way Jesus loves his children in such a beautiful understanding way, I felt closer to my Savoir with each page I read.
Very good

To learn in common word the man we call Jesus...
As a Catholic - or an ex-catholic, the Bible was not required reading - I never knew who Christ was... I do now. I am grateful because I always wanted to know him... THANK YOU for sharing this with me
Wonderful book.
Always enjoy Max Lucado. Seems to say what I need to hear. Highly recommended. Easy to read but so much to think about.
Well written
Excellent read
Jesus: The God Who Knows Your Name
Excellent book, truly thought-provoking.
Uplifting
Every book by Max Lucado is full of the love of Christ . In addition he encourages readers to look deep inside to embrace a relationship with our Savior.
Max Lucado does it again
What a great book and literary depiction of grace. Have not read a Max Lucado book I didn't like. Highly recommend. Glory to God!
interment perspective
Whatever your maturity in Christ is, this delightful read will bring you closer to Him.
Can't go wrong with any Lucado book

Excellent
Great book by Max yet again. Simplify your life by knowing Jesus. Get a taste of Heaven in these pages.
Excellent Service
Excellent! All of Max Lucado's books are wonderful!
Great book
Bought this for my husband and he loved the book said it was said it was great!
Maybe Lucado’s Best book yet!!
I’ve read a lot of Lucado’s books, including his recently released book “How Happiness Happens” (which was phenomenal and boy do we ever need a lesson about happiness to catch on in this day and age..) so was tempted to skip this one, thinking can he really have anything new to say? I’m so glad I didn’t because this may well be his best book yet!! I’ve heard it said we can’t fully know ourself until we know Jesus. To get to know Jesus and the Good News of the Gospel better through these engaging pages really energized my faith. We need more Good News in the Church and in the world and this book is full if it! Thanks Team Max! This is another winner!!
Get to know Jesus like never before
I was able to read the first four chapters as I am on the launch team for this new Max Lucado book. Now, I can't wait to read the rest of the book! Max brings Jesus into our world and my life in a way that makes me realize just how much He cares for each of us. I would recommend this book to people of all ages. Enjoy and be blessed once again by Max's down to earth style of writing.
Another Lucado masterpiece for personal growth
While I am still in the process of reading, I am loving this book! True to his style, Max Lucado personally connects you with the topic. I always love the personal anecdotes that allow him to reach the hearts of so many. This book is no exception. Max always helps us appreciate that our spiritual growth and development is a personal experience, and no two will be the same. By taking in his words and meditating on his message, along with the Scriptures, we can continue to strengthen our faith and relationship with our Heavenly Father. This is a must read for all, especially those looking to better understand and grow their relationship with Jesus!
Jesus Loves Us
I love Max's books. I was on the launch team for his "How Happiness Happens" book and absolutely loved it. I definitely ordered a physical copy of that book and this one is no different. When I found out there was a new book launch for Jesus: The God Who Knows Our Name I knew I wanted to be apart of it. Max Lucado has a way of explaining some tough subjects and making them relatable and understandable. I love how intimate the reading feels and how easily it flows. I read the first 4 chapters that we received as being apart of the launch team for this book in just over an hour and I wished I had the rest of the book to keep reading. I will absolutely keep reading books from Max and doing the amazing bible studies.
Jesus: God in the flesh
This is another book by Max Lucado, that will not disappoint. I have read many of his books in the past. I have only read the first four chapters so far, as a launch team member. So far, it is extraordinary. In his inimitable writing style, applicable illustrations, and word pictures (imagery), he addresses the events that transpired in the beginning of the Incarnation: the angelic visitations, the birth of Jesus, and how Mary and Joseph must have felt. Lucado reminds us through his exegesis that Jesus was 100% human, that He experienced all that we as humans experience, in order to sympathize with our human condition. I highly recommend that you read it
Experience the Story of Jesus on a Personal Level
I received an advanced copy of the first four chapters from the publisher and cannot wait to read the rest of the book. Do you ever feel like no one truly understands what you are going through? Jesus does. He chose to come down from heaven, where He lived free of pain and fear, to put on human flesh and face human trials so that he can not only save us from our imperfect lives, but guide us and comfort us from the consequences of living in this imperfect world. In Max’s latest book, you begin to see Jesus in a whole new light. With his conversational tone, amusing anecdotes and short, easy to read chapters, you see Immanuel, God With Us. You see Jesus on a more personal level. Many of us would do anything to remove anxiety, grief, pain, illness...from our lives, but Jesus chose all of that just so He could help us walk through it as well.
Insightful and Inspiring!
I have read many books by Max Lucado and have enjoyed every one of them. This book can be added to that list. Lucado’s knowledgeable but relaxed writing style makes it easier to delve deeper into one’s faith. People of all ages and stages can gain greater insight into the greatest human being who ever lived. I received the first four chapters as an advanced reader copy from the publisher. The opinions expressed are my own.
Another Great Book from Max!
Lucado always delivers a thought-provoking, sensitive and challenging read. "Jesus: The God Who Knows Your Name" is no exception to the rule. I was able to read the first four chapters early and truly enjoyed this reminder of the God who took on human form so He could dwell among us. The book allows the reader a fresh perspective on Christ's life and ministry during his 33 years on earth. Don't miss out on this book. Relevant and real, this one will draw you closer to Him. There is also an accompanying Bible study available to use in a small group setting. I was an early reader, thanks to Thomas Nelson. All opinions are my own.
Wonderful!
I've had the privilege of reading the first four chapters in Max Lucado's new book, Jesus: The God Who Knows Your Name and I loved it. His books never disappoint! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book. I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
Get to know Jesus more!
I received an advanced copy of the first 4 chapters of Jesus, The God Who Knows Your Name. So far this book has challenged me to get to know the character of Jesus more. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book in the future!
Relatable God
Currently a few chapters in, and I am thoroughly enjoying and appreciating the perspective of a REAL Jesus - not just one who is God, above all else, and reigns in heaven, but One who became human, lived our human life, understands our struggles and yet overcame. Our Jesus, our God, is able to relate to us, in all our struggles, in all our weakness. What a fresh and inspiring way to view our God! Thanks Max! Can't wait to finish!
Jesus, both God and Man
I have read many of Max Lucado’s books, and loved each one. In Jesus, he has made the Lord come alive in ways I had never thought of before bringing me into an even closer relationship with Him. The writing style is conversational and easy to read. I could not put the book down once I started reading. This will definitely be a book to be read and re-read.
A must!
I received an advanced digital read of the first four chapters of this amazing read. Max lucado is such a brilliant author. Amazing things to truly go within and ponder and discover yourself. Amazing job max! I highly suggest.
God Knows Us Deeply and Personally
I received the first four chapters from the publisher for a review and in those chapters, Max shares with is just how much Jesus understands us and knows us deeply and personally. I received the first four chapters for review. All opinions are my own.
The Wonder of Jesus
In reading through Chapter 4, I am already enjoying Max’s capacity for storytelling. His words have a way of making the wonder of Jesus come to life. It is so clear Max’s heart for people and his heart for God and Jesus. His words make me reconsider the story of Jesus and find new insights as well as fully appreciate what He did for us.
God loves me!
Written in true Max Lucado flair, this book encouraged me with the knowledge that God knows my name, cares for me deeply and wants the best for me!
You'll think about Jesus in different ways
I received a four chapter preview from the publisher. I enjoyed the book, and it made me think about Jesus in different ways than I had previously. I love Max's writing style. It is so honest and easy to relate. I recommend this book to anyone.
Wonderful!!
I borrowed this audio book from the library I'm glad I did. I truly enjoyed listening and it makes you think. I look forward to reading more stories by this author I author.
Helped me with a different perspective
I'm part of the launch team for this book and I love it! It gives me a new perspective on what Jesus actually came and went through. I can't wait to read the whole book. We were given the opportunity to view the first four chapters.
A book worth the read!
Great religious book with facts and interviews that backup the questions and answers.
Another great book!
I have loved all of Max Lucado’s books. He writes in way that makes his messages very relatable, and it is easy to keep reading.
Insightful
I would love to do this book as a bible study with others Max gave new meaning to familiar scripture. The questions at the end of the book were thought provoking.
Amazing!
Probably one of the best books I have ever read. Lucado makes scripture come alive in our time.I am ever amazed at his ability to write fiction, a children's book, or non fiction , and it is all wonderful.
True Max Lucado style!
Max Lucado knocks it out of the park again. He has a wonderful way with words and this book is such a great explanation and reminder if what scripture tells us about how God knows us and loves us. Beautifully written.
Wow
Every single word of this book was a joy to digest. I loved how the author introduces the characteristics of Jesus and... just wow. I felt Jesus speaking to me throughout this book and walking away I’m fired up to choose a simpler life simply basking in His Presence. A must read!

Review of Max Lucado New Book Jesus: The God who knows your name
This book by Max Lucado is awesome. I love everything Max.
Great
Peaceful reading
Popped Up on Search
This book was presented in a search for books about the resurrection but this book is not about the resurrection.
Another great book from Max Lucado!
With his well-known style, Max Lucado brings the life of Jesus on earth to us with excitement and a clear study of those days. He also shares a picture of the future, written in God’s Word, of what we have to look forward to when we finally meet Jesus face-to-face!
