Book Review | Outlive Your Life : You Were Made to Make A Difference

Do you get so wrapped up in your life that you forget to take time to think about what impact you have on the world? In Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make A Difference Max Lucado asked us to think about how we can outlive our lives. For many of us including me, I don't think we spend much time reflecting on our legacy. Lucado uses the example of world hunger as one area where we may ask ourselves what we are doing to make a difference? This then would spill over into the example we are setting for our children and others we have a potential influence over.

I found this book to have me stop for a moment and think about what I am doing for others. Am I so wrapped up in my own troubles and stress that I forget to notice how others struggles pale what I am experiencing in my own life. Lucado's book is an easy read, I finished this on a recent plane ride, but the questions he places out there will keep you thinking long after.

What can will you start to do today to outlive your live?
