    Max Lucado’s Latest Book Inspires New Tool for Christians to Tell Their Own Story -- Today: HisIsMine.com Launches

    PRWeb – Thu, Sep 22, 2011

    Lucado’s new book and HisIsMine.com offer insights on how to live with an eye toward purpose while helping readers understand how their life fits into the big picture

    Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) September 22, 2011

    New York Times best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado offers his insights on how to live with an eye toward purpose and the big picture in his soon-to-be-released book God’s Story, Your Story: When His Becomes Yours (Zondervan, Sept. 20). A unique website inspired by the book enables readers to share how their own story fits in with God’s story and then post it on their social media networks. HisIsMine.com allows users to upload their own video, text or audio stories about becoming a Christian, current struggles or great experiences with others online.

    Cell phone users can download the free iPhone mobile application for HisIsMine.com. The technology is live today with the release of the book. Part of The Story Church-wide Experience product line available at all book retailors, Lucado’s new book and HisIsMine website offer insights on living with an eye toward purpose while helping readers understand the way their life fits into the big picture—God’s overall plan. A teen edition, children’s edition, enhanced e-book and curriculum will also be available. A companion music CD and multi-city tour are planned for Fall 2011 as part of the growing suite of products related to The Story.

    Designed to stimulate and create a supportive community, HisIsMine.com is built on the premise that every Christian has a story to tell whether it involves heartache, humor, encouragement or inspiration. Lucado affirms the importance of Christians understanding the way their story fits in with God’s story.

    “We need to know where we came from. Knowing connects us, links us, bonds us to something greater than we are. Knowing reminds us that we aren’t floating on isolated ponds but on a grand river. That’s why God wants you to know his story. . . And we are a part of it.” (God’s Story, Your Story, page 20)

    Lucado’s new book, God’s Story, Your Story helps people make sense out of their own circumstances in their search for purpose. “Everything changes when you know the rest of your story,” writes Lucado (God’s Story, Your Story, page 22).

    In God’s Story, Your Story, Lucado tells personal stories from his own encounters with family, friends and strangers. The 288-page book takes readers on a journey through God’s stories in the New Testament, intersecting Lucado’s personal stories with his thought-provoking comments on applying this to each reader’s life.
