Artist's
Corner Some thoughts from the artist's
about Max's writing and the album, Next Door Savior.
I am a long
time fan of Max Lucado. The first book I bought for myself was
"When God Whispers Your Name" by Lucado. Since then Max's
pen has written many lines that have encouraged and challenged me.
When I was given one of the first manuscripts to "Next Door
Savior", to read with the intent of recording a song for the
record by the same name, I should have known it would have become
much more than just a "homework assignment". Once again Max
took words I had seen before and told a story that I had heard many
times in such a way that made me feel like I was experiencing Jesus
for the first time. In a lot of ways I was. "Next Door
Savior" forces you to see Jesus for what He is. Like Max says,
"Fully Man so He can understand you, fully God so He can save
you". - Warren Barfield
