FREE: Out Live Your Life

The listing, Out Live Your Life has ended.

Outlive Your Life, in typical Lucado methodology, combines anecdotes and stories with theology and practical application to give us a good look at how we can be more like the early church as described in Acts. He calls us beyond the mundane, past the day to day, through the doldrums, and asks us to look beyond the pie-in-the-sky we will have by-and-by - as glorious as the hope of heaven is - and focus on what we can do in the here-and-now to radicalize the world for Jesus. Lucado begins with a solemn challenge to Christianity: God has given our generation the means to alter the course of human suffering. He asks us to break out of our shells, get out of your comfort zone, and begin being the hands and feet of Jesus. Understand that it won't be easy, understand that there will be persecution, understand that it's what we are called in this life to do. Provide for the physical while teaching on the eternal; medicating the body while healing the soul; show the world the meaning of being a Christian. Lucado finishes his message with a reminder and a call to action. When we see those hurting or in need...that's Jesus. When we come across those sick or hungry...that's Jesus. When we love those in need, we are loving Jesus. The book of Acts only has 28 chapters, but Lucado asks us that, through our actions, we take pen in hand to write several more. May the story of the love of the Church continue with our actions in this generation, so that when we reach the end of our hyphen, our Father can look upon us and say "Well done, good and faithful servant." In his classic style, Lucado gives us another heartfelt treasure from his pastoral pen. If you're wondering what you should be doing with your hyphen, how you can Outlive Your Life here on earth, then this book is a must-read. It's a helpful reminder to any person in any walk of life.
