Outlive Your Life

Max Lucado's latest book is called Outlive Your Life.  The basic idea is that it is possible for our influence to remain in this world long after we have died.  We can make choices to help others and to build a legacy that lasts.  In a society where the emphasis is on having the latest gadget and enjoying the latest pleasure, this is a timely message.  Max takes the reader on a tour of the book of Acts.  He is somehow able to recapture the wonder of those early Christians as they were trying to figure out what Jesus living looked like in their world while at the same time make the stories relevant and practical to our present world.  Max takes us back to familiar stories, forces us to look at them with fresh eyes and brings them alive with inspiring illustrations, often from his own experience.  This book is thoroughly biblical and is a joy to read. I highly recommend that you get a copy of this book and consider it as a Bible study (there is a participants guide available).
