You’ve heard the saying, “she’s so heavenly minded she’s no earthly good.” In a time when Christians in American culture myopically focus on their own heavenly evacuation, Max Lucado issues a challenge: leave something behind. Be a world changer.   In his newest book Outlive Your Life, Lucado celebrates the otherwise uncelebrated.
