Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference by Max Lucado Reviews
#1004 in Books

Description

Dear Friend,

May I share a story that is very dear to my heart?

It's a story of hillbillies and simple folk, net casters and tax collectors. A story of a movement that exploded like a just-opened fire hydrant out of Jerusalem and spilled into the ends of the earth: into the streets of Paris, the districts of Rome, and the ports of Athens, Istanbul, Shanghai, and Buenos Aires. A story so mighty, controversial, head spinning, and life changing that two millennia later we wonder:

Might it happen again?

Heaven knows we hope so. These are devastating times: 1.75 billions people are desperately poor; one billion are hungry. Lonely hearts indwell our neighborhoods and attend our schools. In the midst of it all, here we stand: you, me, and our one-of-a-kind lives. We are given a choice ... an opportunity to make a big difference during a difficult time. What if we did? What if we rocked the world with hope?

Worth a try, don't you think?

    As always Max has lived up to his reputation once again as a top notch Christian writer with this publication. This is another great “max” book that I would encourage everyone to read.
    I liked the cover of the book but it wasn’t immediately clear as to what it really meant to me, until I delved deeper into the book. To me the cover symbolizes us being child like with innocence and starting young, to live life like a superhero, who is not self indulged but selfless and compassionate.
    The chapters are in an easy short format that makes this a very easy read. The message is quite simple and one that you may have heard before. This message however needs to be continually repeated because being imperfect humans, we can slip up very easily, or in our busy life we can lose sight of what should really be important in our lives. And the message I got from this book quite simply is to always strive to be Christ like. We know that we can never reach this but it is important to try to be our best as close as we possibly can be to be like Christ.
    As always I would like to thank BOOKsneeze for providing a review copy of this book in exchange for my honest non biased opinion
