Last night I had a few extra minutes to devote to reading, so I read Outlive Your Life<\/em><\/a> by Max Lucado<\/a>. \u00a0I read it in one sitting because it has such a powerful message. \u00a0I have been a longtime fan of Lucado and always look forward to reading his new books. \u00a0He has an real gift for helping readers see the application of Scripture. \u00a0I read my first Lucado book when I was 11 years old. \u00a0I read Six Hours One Friday<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0Pretty heavy reading for a junior high student, but a powerful message that still resonates with me today as I contemplate the Cross.<\/p>\n

I received this book as a part of Thomas Nelson’s Book Sneeze<\/a> Program and was eager to review it on my blog. \u00a0God always amazes me at how He can take books I am reading, conversations I am having, songs I hear, and sermons from church and weave them all into a lesson that He wants me to learn. \u00a0I guess it’s good that God knows I am pretty hard headed and He has to use every method available to teach me!<\/p>\n

The whole premise of this book is to live your life in a way that glorifies God and outlasts your physical time on this Earth. \u00a0The book is definitely a challenge to Christians to serve others and be the hands and feet of Christ particularly to the poor, the wounded, the downtrodden, the orphans, and the widows…just as the Bible commanded!<\/p>\n

Here is the prevailing questions…What are you going to do to truly make a difference is life for the glory of God and the good of others?<\/p>\n

Here are some things I highlighted while reading. \u00a0Please keep in mind that these are all Max’s words and not mine. \u00a0This is also only a small taste of what all this book has to offer those that really desire to go after what it means to truly live as a Christian. \u00a0Click here<\/a> to pick up a copy of Outlive Your Life<\/em>…and while you are at it, buy one to give away too!<\/p>\n
