I was asked to re-post this book review since Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado releases this month.
A chance to review a book my Max Lucado is a gift opportunity… so I took it! And I am not disappointed. Outlive Your Life is a wonderfully written, easy-to-read, yet challenging text of 16 nice-sized chapters. As the title would indicate, Lucado help a Christian to make a difference with their life that lasts beyond their earthly existence. With his skillful mix of wants to provide stories and examples to illustrate Biblical principles, the book is both compelling and enjoyable.
The “outline” of the book follows select passages from Acts, showing how the early church lived out a principle and thus, the foundational practices that made the Christian community a perpetual impact to all parts of the globe. Two significant features of the book help the individual challenged by the text to personally apply the message. First, a closing prayer at the end of each chapter directly connects to the theme. Additionally, a “Questions for Discussion” and “Ideas for Action” section is included for each chapter at the end of the book, that could be useful for a small group study or digging deeper into the Scripture personally. I strongly recommend this book for both personal edification and possible small group study.
