I first heard about the book on KLOVE. They mentioned that they would be reading it the entire month of September. They even provide the first chapter of the book on their website for you to read to see if you'll like it! I read it, then decided to tell Roger about it...I think it would have been faster for him to read it himself then all the talking I did to try and explain what he was saying! :) but I was really excited about it and Roger was too.
The basic premise of the book is to live a life that will continue to impact other after you're gone. Yes, he words it so much better than I just did and it's not morbid at all but very very encouraging. One thing I really liked about it, is that you can impact people long after you are gone by doing things that you already love to do. Most books like this refer solely to evangelism. Whereas, Max Lucado's book refers more to loving people. It's a subtle difference but it takes the focus off: you should, and puts it more on Christ and letting his love for us overflow into others.
We are only on Chapter 3 right now. I'll keep you updated. Would highly recommend that you read it for yourself or get your church library to pick it up! If you start it, let me know what you think!
