Outlive Your Life: You Were Made To Make A Difference (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

Un libro inspirador que explora las maneras en que podemos hacer de nuestras vidas algo más sirviendo a los demás en el mundo. Empezando con el libro de los Hechos, Lucado usa ejemplos de los primeros cristianos y del mundo actual para mostrarnos que Dios "usa . . . a la gente normal y corriente" para "cambiar el mundo." Las historias son conmovedores y emotivas, y Lucado nos ofrece inspiración para ayudar a gente con necesidades. Pero aunque Lucado hace hincapié en Jesús como ayudante de los pobres, las acciones que describe son privadas y no confrontan los poderes del mundo directamente. Como conservador, no reta a los poderosos del mundo y no sugiere acciones radicales, y así Lucado omite aspectos esenciales de Jesús, quién oponía a los poderes de su sociedad y aprobaba cambios radicales. Sin embargo, hay mucha inspiración en este libro, y el mensaje que todos pueden hacer algo para lo demás es valioso.(Notaría también que escuché el audiolibro, narrado por David Rojas, de audible.com--una version bien leída y interpretada por Rojas que recomiendo.) Lucado's premise is that as Christians, we can do things in the service of God that enable us to outlive our life. As an opening illustration, he tells the story of a visitor to an isolated island community who is surprised to see it thriving when every nearby community is doing poorly. The islanders credit a religious figure as the reason they are doing so well. The visitor demands to meet this man--but is baffled when he is taken to thriving fisheries, a beautiful chapel, etc. The villager explain that the man is dead and no longer with them...but he lives on in the things he taught them and the good works he left behind. Such inspiration fills this entire book, and with Lucado's wonderful gift for storytelling it is an easy listen.
