OUTLIVE YOUR LIFE

I received this book as a member of Thomas Nelson’s BookSneeze Book Review program http://www.booksneeze.com Thank you

You want to do good. You want your life to matter.

Max Lucado shows how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He writes short chapters how we can live to make a difference which include stories from the Bible & more recent times.

Several thoughts that stood out for me are:
None of us can do what all of us can do. God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well (Rom 12:6 NLT). Open your table, open your circle. Really “see” people. Do good things - just don’t do them to be noticed. God has shown me that He doesn’t think anyone is unclean or unfit. We serve Christ by serving needy people.

Nothing new in this book about how to be a better person but it is still worth a read.
