What I've Been Reading Lately

"Outlive Your Life"

by Max Lucado

Sometimes the most challenging part of a Christian life is knowing how to spend your time. Work, family and ministry all seem to compete for the same few spare minutes each day. In Max Lucado’s latest book “Outlive Your Life” he outlines several very practical yet challenging methods on how to make a difference. Lucado describes the need for people to serve the poor, orphaned and hungry in the world. He provides many examples to empower people to outlive their life in big and small ways.

This book is a great encouragement and reminder to be doing the things we know we should be doing. It gave me a renewed energy to continue to serve others. It also helped me to gain new awareness in areas that I should be doing more. Lucado’s writing style is fun and imaginative. His methods are very entertaining without being distracting to the central message.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking they should be doing more but are unsure exactly how to prioritize the need. Lucado provides a challenge to everyone to do more with their life and this challenge should not go unmet.
