I recently read Max Lucado's new book, Out Live Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference. The world is a difficult place to live in current times with poverty, disease, natural disasters, and other reasons for hopelessness. Closer to home, many people we come in contact with on a daily basis are lonely and looking for a reason to hope. Max Lucado uses 16 easy-to-read chapters to explore ways to make a difference in the world around us, both near home and internationally, by living out our one and only life. We have one chance to make it count.
After reading several other books dealing with similar issues (like Radical and The Hole in Our Gospel), I felt Out Live Your Life was the encouragement I needed to start living my life the way God intended. I feel like it is possible for me to make a big difference in my world without feeling overwhelmed myself. What a waste it would be if I leave this world without making a difference to someone else who needs hope. Each chapter begins with a Bible verse and then ends with another Bible passage and prayer that corresponds with the chapter. I really liked that about the book. I also like the fact that 100% of the author's royalties will benefit children and families through World Vision. I would recommend this book and give it 4 out of 5 stars.
