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?

Book Review | Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear

Do you allow your life to be controlled by fear? Does fear limit your decisions and actions that you take? Max Lucado walks the reader through a few scenarios where we probably have begun to limit ourselves in Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear .

I found in this book that Lucado challenges us to think through why we are fearful in various situations. Why do we look to the worst case scenario and then limit our lives because of this thought process? Have we forgot that God is there with us and will guide us and lead us if we are open to Him. I need to stop the fearful thinking and look to what the end result may be. There is nothing wrong in considering the risks but I shouldn't allow this to limit my behavior.

Are you ready to live your life fearless?
