I received a copy of Max Lucado’s new book, Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make A Difference, yesterday afternoon. And last night, I sat down and read it.

In this book, Lucado approaches the topic of “You were made to make a difference.” He does this by taking a look at several of the stories in the first few chapters of the book of Acts.

Outlive Your Life is very easy to read. I was somewhat disappointed though. I expected another book along the lines of his last, Fearless (read my review of Fearless here). Unfortunately, this one isn’t as gripping. Lucado tells several very interesting stories that reinforce his point of each chapter. But it just seemed as if the depth wasn’t there, as indicated by the fact that I completed the book in just over three hours. I will add, though, that it was difficult to put down during that time.

Don’t get me wrong: the premise and main idea of Outlive Your Life are great. But this book just feels like it was churned out because it was time for a book to be published. I didn’t feel the same depth as in previous Lucado books.

Outlive Your Life is a great idea. However, if you are looking for a challenge, this may not help you much.

If you are interested in reading Outlive Your Life, you can purchase it at Amazon.com.
