I had the opportunity to read a new book by Max Lucado called Out Live Your Life.From the publisher:
These are difficult days in our world's history. 1.75 billion people are desperately poor, natural disasters are gouging entire nations, and economic uncertainty still reigns across the globe. But you and I have been given an opportunity to make a big difference. What if we did? What if we rocked the world with hope? Infiltrated all corners with God's love and life? We are created by a great God to do great works. He invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven, but here on earth. Let's live our lives in such a way that the world will be glad we did.
My thoughts:
I always enjoy reading anything by Max Lucado. I appreciate his writing style and the message he shares through this writing. This book focuses on the book of Acts as a basic thought for each chapter as a guideline for how we should be living our Christian lives...caring for others, seeing the needs of people, and praying to name a few. At the end of the book is a discussion guide for personal reflection to apply what you have read to your own life.
One thing I didn't particularly like was the different Bible versions quoted. I think I would have preferred him stick with the same version throughout.
I saw this book on sale at Mardel if you are interested. Also it is important to note that 100% of the author's royalties are going to World Vision and other ministries. I enjoyed this book and am glad to be able to review it.
Have a day of blessings!
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze.com

Good review! I,like Max, like to use different translations when I think that one makes a Scripture clearer or easier to understand.
Sounds like a good book.
