Book Review: Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado

Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado


Outlive Your Life gives the reader assurance that their life matters and that although no one person can do everything needed in our world, every person can do something that will make a difference in someone’s life. Max Lucado urges his readers to realize that it is their Christian duty to help others in need, just as Christ did in his 33 years here on earth.

I have never been a fan of Max Lucado, although I have no specific reason why, so I was not sure what to expect in this book. I was worried that the book would water down our Christian obligation to living a godly life and be helpful to others. I was pleasantly surprised when I got into the book because it’s just the opposite of what I expected. Lucado presents Biblical proof of our obligation to others in need and gives real-life advice on how we can all accomplish this goal. We all tend to forget that we are not called to change the world, but to give out the gospel and live in His image. We may not all be called to the missions field in Africa, but we can all pray for those in need or provide love to those around us. This book gives us practical suggestions of things we can do to make a difference in this book.

Freebies from Crest!!

I don't recall signing up for this, but last night when I got home, I found a FedEx box waiting for me. Inside of it was a whole Crest whitening kit. It came with:

1- Crest Whitestrips professional 2 hour treatment (good for 3 mos)
1- Crest Whitening toothpaste (some new kind I've never seen)
1- Crest Whitening dental rinse (some new kind I've never seen)
1- Crest Whitening toothbrush

Apparently I signed up to be a part of their trial group. I sign up for so many things that I honestly can't remember where I saw this at to sign up for. The letter inside said that I have been chosen to be a trial panelist of these products and they'll send me a survey to complete in a week or so!

COOL!!

Deadline......Oooppss!

Sorry, I forgot to mention in THIS post that the bonus Swagbucks code is only good today until 7 pm EST.

Free Samples

Do you sign up for free samples?  I do!  I love getting "presents" in the mail all the time and most samples come with really good, high value coupons too.  Even if I won't use the product (like baby items, etc), I sign up for the samples any way.  I can always find someone who wants the sample and I can use the coupons to trade for ones that I do want.

Here's one of my favorite websites for samples.  You can sign up to receive a daily email too that will let you know what the sample of the day is and provide you a link to sign up.

I also like the Walmart sample website.
