Outlive Your Life Bible Study Participant's Guide: Discover How You Can Make a Difference

by Max Lucado

Everyone wants to know that their time on earth has some significance. We all want to make a difference. These are difficult days in our world’s history. Billions of people are poor, millions go hungry or thirsty every day. Disease claims thousands of lives daily. 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. What if you lived in such a way that your death is just the beginning of your life? In Outlive Your Life DVD-Based Study , Max Lucado presents four sessions that follow the real-life stories of people who are making their lives count. Designed for individual study or for a small group experience, each session will show you not just why but how to live intentionally so that everything in your life---your time, your skills, your passions---all add up to something bigger than you. Designed as a companion to the DVD-Based Study, this participant's guide can be used for journaling or as a prompt for open-hearted discussions with your small group. Let Max Lucado be your guide as you set out on a journey to outlive your life.

Are you more dingy than a cruise ship?
More stand-in than a movie star?
Therefore , accept eachother just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. (Rom. 15;7 NLT)

This book is good for your mind body and soul. It refreshes your outlook on life and the way we treat ourselves and others.

It covers things like standing up for eachother and your beliefs, coming out of your shell , opening your heart and when you do good everyone doesn't have to know it , God knows and he is proud of you.

It also covers the subject of not writing off people as unworthy of you.

Lord, in how many ways does my foolish heart make false distinctions among your people? Reveal them to me. How often do I judge someone as unworthy of you by the way I treat them. Rebuke me in your love. Where can I blast a wall or remove a barrier that keeps your children apart from one another? Give me some dynamite and the skill and courage to use it for your glory. What can I do in my spere of influence to bring the love of Christ to someone who may feel ostracized or estranged from you? Lend me divine insight, and bless me with the resolve to be your hands and feet. May I be a bridge and not a wall. In Jesus' name I pray , amen.

An excert from the book.

Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado is another outstanding devotional by one of the leading pastors in America. Lucado breaks the book of Acts into sixteen chapters and recreates it into modern day anecdotes and language to make the stories of the early Christian church fresh and alive. In the first years after Jesus' ascension to Heaven, the church exploded in growth, regularly performed miracles, and took care of the needy by working together. The world today is filled with those suffering from hunger, facing abject poverty, and terrible illness, and the church doesn't seem to be doing much about it. Lucado encourages readers to start making a difference on an individual level using Acts and the apostles as their inspiration. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the immensity of the problems in the world, he wants readers to do something small and real and then allow God to bless it. There are stories of real people today making an impact in unexpected ways which will help readers see that change is possible and within reach. Lucado's writing is always down-to-earth, conversational, relevant, and enjoyable to read.
