I love Max Lucado, and jumped at the chance to get one of his books, Outlive Your Life, via Thomas Nelson’s BookSneeze program. And my buddy Max did not disappoint! His book is based on a series of sermons on the book of Acts. His message? Outlive your life through your words and actions. Do not only contribute to make your life better, but to make the world better. Live beyond your personal ambition that will die when you do for something greater, live your faith in ways the world can see.
Through his normal conversational style and questions for reflection located in the back of the book, Lucado challenges us all to pray, think, and act with greater compassion. To become aware of and attempt to met the needs of others. To become the hands and feet of Jesus to this world. And you can not read his writings, any of them, and not be changed. You do not read Lucado to be entertained, you read his writings to be changed.
I highly recommend How to outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference, or any Max Lucado book, to anyone who wants to grow in their faith, to be encouraged, to be transformed. And then, live your faith out loud.
