Life with Lucas

Faith in the Fog
Keeping your faith burning bright when all you want to do is burn out In Faith in the Fog, bestselling author Jeff Lucas explores the pain and fear that many Christians feel when walking through a spiritual fog, when doubts about faith undermine the joy of belief. After the Resurrection—when the disciples found themselves on the fog bank of unresolved shame, failure, and confusion—what Jesus did to help them and what he didn’t do is both enlightening and inspirational. Here, you will focus on the person of Jesus and the way he approaches those who are worn out when life is tough. Who Jesus really is—rather than the way we instinctively perceive him emotionally and theologically—is what will make the difference and help clear the fog. Through a broad approach, Faith in the Fog tackles the feelings of failure, uselessness, and shame, which are often the underlying causes of depression and burnout among Christians.
Singing in Babylon
Everyone has to live with second choices—events and circumstances that they would not choose, some trivial, some tragic. Daniel was a man whose life was filled with second choices, but he did more than just survive; he stayed faithful to God and thrived. So what is there to learn from his story in Scripture? Pastor and author Jeff Lucas challenges readers to ask, “How can we, like Daniel, be faithful in the ‘Babylon’ of second choices?” Down-to-earth but inspirational, Singing in Babylon explores how the reader, like Daniel, can find purpose and meaning in life’s second choices.

The Cactus Stabbers
Jeff travels a lot. Millions of miles. And that's meant he's met some interesting people along the way. He's shared breakfast with a couple of serial killers. Met a man who saved a life with a phone call. And learned a lesson about grace from a chap called Wiggins. Jeff re-tells their stories and more, as he looks at life through his realistic yet invariably optimistic lenses. Intrigued? Dig deep into this warm, often humorous book. Jeff will make you think, wonder and ponder the big (and much smaller) issues.
Gideon
Gideon may seem like an unlikely hero but to God he was an ideal candidate for ministry. Gideon and his crew of three hundred men with trumpets and clay pots appear surprising victors against the massive Midianite army; however for God they were another opportunity to showcase his strength and power. God takes weak people, meagre resources and unpromising strategies and turns them into something wonderful. From his first face-to-face encounter with the Angel of the Lord to his later struggles with the trappings of success, Gideon challenges us to take our stand for God, to trust his plans, to believe in his promises and to keep our focus. Written with humour and passion, this is an immensely readable and helpful book that will delight those who have discovered the joys of Jeff Lucas' writings before, as well as those who come to it fresh.
Touched By Grace
"Suddenly, this skinny, longhaired kid who had been lounging against the wall inside sprang forward to confront me, rolling and popping his eyes, intensely vibing me with his own personal voodoo. He looked electric, on fire--as if he was about to jump out of his own skin. He was the very image of the young Tim Buckley--same sensual, red-lipped mouth, same sensitive, haunted, blazing eyes. He was a beautiful boy: so charismatic, so handsome, his chiseled face both angelic and demonic. This was obviously Jeff Buckley." Touched By Grace is a revealing account of the time Gary spent working with Jeff Buckley during Jeff's early days in New York City. It describes their magical first performance ...
There Are No Strong People
There Are No Strong People asks: Is it possible to be hugely blessed by God - and still make a mess of your life? What is it we really all crave? Do good people do bad things? What do we do when we're disappointed? Are there clear steps towards success - and disaster? Why is unresolved anger so destructive? In this provocative, breathtakingly honest book, based on the story of the Bible's infamous rascal, Samson, Jeff explores some vital principles for living life well. This is a book that asks its readers to think, re-evaluate and dig deeper. Anyone who chooses to take up this challenge won't be disappointed. 'This powerful, prophetic, perceptive and provocative book should be a bestseller....
Staying in the Boat
'Life itself, with all of its ups and downs, is the classroom. Our everyday is the academy. Wisdom takes time to develop - a lifetime. What matters is that we learn from our wrong turns and mistakes, and continue to grow. I wish I'd known that maturity takes a while.' From his many years in Christian leadership, Jeff has learnt a fair few lessons - from the profound to the painful, from the embarrassing to the hilarious. Hindsight can teach us a lot, but Jeff hopes that you will benefit from some of the things he wishes he'd known a little earlier on in his journey - such as the fact that we're all broken; heroes often go uncelebrated and sometimes, our adventure requires us to faithfully stay put.
Notorious
The Bible spends a great deal of time sharing the stories of men and women who strayed from the path of good. So, is there something good these bad people can teach us? For example, what can Cain teach us about authentic worship? Can King Saul's daughter help us understand kindness? What can we learn from the mob at Thessalonica about faithfulness?
