I recently read Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado and I highly recommend it. It's about helping people less fortunate and I first heard of this book when my Sunday School class studied it. I didn't read it then but I've read it now. I decided to put this Cliff's Notes version in a blog because there was so much wisdom in the book that I really wanted to share it. I also want to remember it.
I listed some key thoughts and ideas from the book below. They're not mine; I'm just too lazy to type all of the quotation marks. :) By the way, who is Cliff anyway and where is he now?
When your grandchildren discover you lived during a day in which 1.75 billion people were poor and 1 billion were hungry, how will they judge your response?
May you live in such a way that your death is just the beginning of your life.
God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called.
Save one life. Save the world . . . use an ordinary life to bring extraordinary blessing into the world.
None of us can do what all of us can do . . . no one can do everything but everyone can do something.
Faith in Christ leads to a clean slate with God.
Change begins with a genuine look and continues with a helping hand.
In the game of life, many of us who cross home plate do so because we were born on third base.
Poverty is not the lack of charity but the lack of justice.
May I be a bridge and not a wall.
God never sends you where he hasn't already been. O Lord, nobody lies beyond the grasp of your grace.
Passionate prayers move the heart of God . . . prayer does impact the flow of history.
Pray first. Pray most.
The sign of the saved is their concern for those in need. Salvation is the work of Christ. Compassion is the consequence of salvation.
