Outlive Your Life

Recently I had the opportunity to read one of the most recently published books by Max Lucado, Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference. I was extremely excited to get this opportunity, as I have enjoyed all of the previous books I read which were authored by Max Lucado. He did not disappoint with this work that focuses on how we can make a difference in the lives of those around us.

I like how Lucado uses the book of Acts for inspiration, or as a basis for this book, but he ties the concepts into our everyday lives. Through looking at the Church in Acts, he highlights the fact that we are called to help those in need. He focuses on helping others who are struggling with issues such as poverty, disease, and violence.

I would recommend this book for others, and I think it would serve as a great Bible Study for small groups. It is especially helpful that there is a Discussion and Action Guide at the end of the book which will provide topics that can be discussed in a small group setting.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their Booksneeze book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255 : "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
