I recently finished reading Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado and was very challenged by this book. Max, with incredible passion, shares with us a challenge to leave a legacy much like the early church did. I do have to admit that the premise of the book is common in today's Christian circles and I found myself reckoning back to other books I have read that challenge the reader to make a difference in their particular sphere of influence. With that being said, I find the reminder is worthwhile and the stories of everyday people are encouraging to those who, like me, sometimes who feel that there is not a way to tackle such huge problems in the world. We can make a difference simply by seeing others through the lens of Jesus and taking action on that.
Overall I would say this book was good and the Scripture basis in Acts is solid. I would however say that there is a few books on the subject that do challenge the reader more to act.
I did receive this book free through Thomas Nelson's book sneeze program in exchange for an honest review of the book.
