For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make A Difference -- by: Max Lucado
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.
Review: I loved this book! It is not only a book but it is one that calls us to action. The very heart of Jesus. It is written in typical Lucado style - easy to read and right where you are. If you feed someone, you have fed Jesus. If you clothe someone, you have clothed Jesus. Practical and motivating!

What a fantastic book..like every other book Lucado has written! I definitely enjoyed this book and was challenged by it. Throughout the book, Lucado continually reminds us that we were all made to make a difference in this world. We were put on this earth for a purpose and we need to fulfill it. If we just wander through life aimlessly and work at our jobs and live with our families, we're missing the point of life. What if we began taking the opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of other people? What if people remembered us after we died? We need to out live our lives... we need to make a difference and an impact on this world.
