Outlive Your Life By Max Lucado

Outlive Your Life
By Max Lucado
Published by Thomas Nelson

In his newest work of inspiration, Max Lucado examines the first 12 books of Acts in relation to how we are living our lives today. Being part of a world in constant turmoil where billions are left starving and deprived of the simplest emotional and physical necessities, what role is today’s Christian to play?

In the days and years following the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, uneducated fishermen with no resources and no training went out into the world and made a staggering impact. With compassion and integrity they shared the Good News, healed the sick, fed the hungry and spread the joy that can only come from a life filled with the Holy Spirit. Yet, today with all the resources at our fingertips, we look away from the homeless beggar on the corner, we deny the immigrant, and steer clear of the ill at health.

Motivating, if sometimes “uncomfortable”, Outlive Your Life will compel you to take an honest look at the way you live your life and the impact your actions have on others. With poignant illustrations and an unbiased focus on biblical verse, Lucado does not seek to admonish or criticize but simply observe and encourage.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
