    The story is one of "hillbillies and simple folk, net caster and tax collectors." People, like you and me, but with one difference, these "simple folk" were on fire for God willing to, "deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Him (Mark 8:34)" Out Live Your Life, by Max Lucado, is a simple story, yet so provoking, you cannot read it without feeling the conviction of God to take up your cross and follow Him. We found this to be a perfect family read, one we will visit again and again. (I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book by the publisher through BookSneeze.)

    A quick read but powerful message. Even if we don't have the option of giving monetary support to the less fortunate, we each have something to offer that might be just what the person in a nursing home needs to brighten their day or the skill/advice the financially challenged person needs to help make sense of their tax information or their bank statement. We all have something to offer because the Heavenly Father gives us everything!!

    Max Lucado encourages everyone to look beyond themselves, beyond their own little world. He begs us to actually "see" those in need around us and even far away and to commit to doing something about it. You can't do everything for everyone; but, you can do something for someone.

    Max Lucado is an amazing author. This book is no exception. God made us for a purpose. He has a plan for us. He wants our deeds of kindness to outlive our lives. Our lives are short here on Earth; but the acts of kindness can have a ripple effect that we may never even know.

    Make a conscious effort to truly "see" those that you come into contact with. Don't see the color of their skin, their religion, their mistakes. See their hearts, their potential, their needs. If you have seen the movie, "Avatar", you may remember how the tribe members greet each other by saying, "I see you." Max mentions this as well. "In certain Zulu areas of South Africa, people greet each other with a phrase that means 'I see you.' Change begins with a genuine look. And continues with a helping hand."

    Max offers practical ideas and suggestions. Ways to overcome our fears, prejudices, and hang-ups. Simple ideas to get us started, with one small change at a time.

    "So how can we prepare ourselves? Simple. Imitate the disciples. Linger long and often in the presence of Christ. Meditate on His grace. Ponder His love. Memorize His words. Gaze into His face. Talk to Him. Courage comes as we live with Jesus." These are Max's words of encouragement and wisdom to get you started. And it sounds like a very good place to start to me.

    Max does give a very important warning. Make sure you do these things for the glory of God. Not for the praise of man. God hates hypocrisy. Remember Annanias and Sapphira? Right, not a very happy ending. So make sure your heart is in the right place. "Hypocrisy turns people against God. So God has a no-tolerance policy. Let the cold, lifeless bodies of the embezzling couple issue their intended warning. Let's take hypocrisy as seriously as God does."

    This book has truly challenged me to move out of my comfort zone, out of my own little world. To make more of a conscious effort to outlive my life. Sure I have done a little here and there. But honestly, it was just a little. And after reading this book, I so want it to be more than just a little.

    Max Lucado helps you to think about how you can impact the world through your actions. He gives examples through fictional characters, true-life examples, and his own life.

    Of course, the easiest way to impact the world is just by purchasing the book. The author is giving all proceeds from this book to help children who are in poverty around the world.

    I think the book was worth purchasing, and I would recommend it to a friend.

    As trustworthy as always, Max Lucado hits another one out of the park with his latest non fiction, "Our Live Your Life." This book presents a very powerful and important message about living our faith through our action in easy, quick to read chapters. Reminding us that Jesus used people like you and me in the first century to impact the rest of the world...

    With a compelling message urging Christians in the twenty first century to move beyond their comfort zone and make a difference to impact our generation! With almost unbelievable statistics, Lucado tells us that there are 1.75 billion poor people, one billion hungry and lonely hearts everywhere. With the call that Jesus gives us, as Christians, to make an impact, how are those numbers possible?

    One of the best characteristics of Max Lucado's writing style is that he makes everything hit home, as if he was right in your living room talking with you.

    Overall, I would state that this is one of Lucado's best books. However, there is one part I did not like...they say don't judge a book by its cover, and I thankful I did not do that. The book cover has a picture of a boy with a super hero cape, and I don't really see the connection.

    I would highly recommend this book for all Christ followers to read!!!
