These are difficult days in our world's history. 1.75 billion people are desperately poor, natural disasters are gouging entire nations, and economic uncertainty still reigns across the globe. But you and I have been given an opportunity to make a big difference.
What if we did? What if we rocked the world with hope? Infiltrated all corners with God's love and life? We are created by a great God to do great works. He invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven, but here on earth.
It’s not enough to do well. We want to do good. We want our lives to matter. So, let's live our lives in such a way that the world will be glad we did.
This may well be Max Lucado's most important book. On your 99th birthday what will you cherish when you look back at your life? Will it be the size of your bank accounts, the extent of your real estate holdings, or the impressive titles you've held -- or -- will it be the people you've loved, the relationships in which you've invested, and the things you've done for God's Kingdom? Outlive Your Life is a roadmap for your life journey that will leave you few regrets and will inspire you to be all that God intended. This is one of those rare books that can change your life.
