following hard on the heels of Andy Andrews' bestseller, *The Butterfly Effect*, we find reinforcement in Max Lucado's newest, *Outlive Your Life*. evidence discovered immediately in the subtitle *You Were Made to Make a Difference*. with the current baby boomer population arriving at a point in life where they've begun to question their own legacy, this book will be sure to capture attention. it will also challenge on those very concerns. what are we leaving for our legacy? is it all about us? or have we a responsibility to our neighbour - whether next door or next country? Lucado brings it home to the reader. our own individual world is too small. we are called to God's world as participant not bystander. to mission not comfort. to life that is legacy. an incarnational life that serves the weak with welcome. extends hospitality beyond our doors. and when we do? we'll have served Christ Himself.
If only I had access to a big vacant lot next to my house, I'd be able to act on the inspiration i got from this book. I did enjoy reading it, but I wish she had spent more time focusing on her fruit trees/vegetables. I almost felt like the book was an argument for meat eating, so long as you know your meat personally, but it actually made me lean toward vegetarianism more. And I had a hard time getting over the author's need to be special (she was pretty enamored with how unique she is, but seemed detached from the real grittiness of the city), but that might just be because she reminded me too much of myself. Well, it's a good read - I recommend it.
