Everyone wants to know that their time on earth has some significance. We all want to make a difference.

These are difficult days in our world's history. Billions of people are poor, millions go hungry or thirsty every day. Disease claims thousands of lives daily. But you and I have been given an opportunity to make a big difference. What if we did? What if we rocked the world with hope? Infiltrated all corners with God's love and life? We are created by a great God to do great works. He invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven, but here on earth. What if you lived in such a way that your death is just the beginning of your life?

In "Outlive Your Life DVD-Based Study," Max Lucado presents four sessions that follow the real-life stories of people who are making their lives count. Designed for individual study or for a small group experience, each session will show you not just "why" but "how" to live intentionally so that everything in your life---your time, your skills, your passions---all add up to something bigger than you.

Designed as a companion to the DVD-Based Study, this participant's guide can be used for journaling or as a prompt for open-hearted discussions with your small group. Let Max Lucado be your guide as you set out on a journey to outlive your life.
