Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado



This book is amazing!  It's all about changing the world one life at a time.  It's about showing people Jesus, but also serving those less loveable by the world's standards, saving children from death by adopting or giving money to helpful charities, visiting lonely elderly people or those in prison, and praying with intensity, even for those we may think of as unreachable.  I love Lucado's way with words, how he makes ordinary, often-repeated Bible stories come to life in a new way, and how he uses stories or word pictures to make his point stand out, and to make a big lump of emotion stick in my throat.  I love how the book is so encouraging, not guilt-inducing.  It's so positive and challenging.  Definitely two thumbs up for this one!
