Outlive Your Life

Outlive Your Life – Max Lucado

What if your life could make a difference long after you are gone? In Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference, bestselling Christian author and pastor Max Lucado encourages readers to use their time, gifts and resources to help others and leave a lasting legacy of compassion.

Lucado draws inspiration from the Book of Acts, which describes how the first followers of Jesus, a small group of ordinary people, changed the world through their faith, courage and care for one another. He shows how the early church fed the hungry, cared for the sick, welcomed outsiders, broke down barriers of prejudice and shared what they had, and argues that modern believers can do the same.

Throughout the book, Lucado challenges readers to respond to the needs of the world around them, including poverty, hunger, injustice and loneliness. He offers stories of people who have made a difference in their communities and around the world, and encourages readers to look for opportunities to serve in their own neighborhoods, workplaces and churches. Each chapter combines biblical teaching with practical encouragement and Lucado’s characteristic warmth.

The book includes a discussion and action guide to help individuals and groups put its ideas into practice.

Inspiring and challenging, Outlive Your Life is a meaningful read for Christians, small groups and churches who want to live out their faith through compassion and service.
