Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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. Let's live our lives in such a way that the world will be glad we did.

 MY REVIEW

WOW!!  What writer can compare to Max Lucado?

This is the first book I have read of Lucado, though I have heard sermons and read tidbits and quotes of his, I had never read a full book of his... why did I wait so long?

God has given him a great gift with words and anyone who has not read anything by him needs to! You will walk away challenged and refreshed.
