Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado



Max delivers a powerful message on outliving your life.

This is a book about ordinary people making extraordinary decisions to outlive their life. It’s overwhelming to think of all the problems in our world. It’s easy to think that we cannot make a difference. What can one person do? The secret is we are not one person. Together we are millions. We can make a huge difference.

God made us all to make a difference. No exception. It’s easy to dismiss the homeless guy. There’s a story behind every homeless person. There’s a story behind you. We all have a story. There is a plot to our story. We can affect the plot of another person’s life. How great is that? We could adopt a sponsor child. We could give them less than $100 and it would give them a cow. Awesome! We can pray for that child and their family. By outliving your life, you can affect another person who can then outlive their life.

Max Lucado is an exceptional storyteller. He’s able to retell the stories in the Bible and make them feel as though it’s happening now. He’s able to dissect the story and put it in an easy to understand format that all of us can understand.

Before each chapter, Max includes a scripture and a prayer. I must admit this is my favorite part of the book. It gives the reader a prayer to take to heart. You can take the prayer and make it your own. God looks at the heart and He will listen.

I recommend this book to others to encourage them to outlive their life by making a difference in others.
