It's Not about Me: Rescue from the Life We Thought Would Make Us Happy

Overview

THERE REALLY IS MORE TO THIS LIFE THAN YOU'VE BEEN TOLD

We've been demanding our way since day one...

"I want a spouse that makes me happy and co-workers that always ask my opinion."

"I want weather that suits me and traffic that helps me and a government that serves me."

Self-promotion. Self-preservation. Self-centeredness...

"IT'S ALL ABOUT ME."

They all told us it was, didn't they? And we took them up on it. We though self-celebration would make us happy...

But believing that has created chaos-noisy homes, stress-filled business, cutthroat relationships. We've chases do many skinny rabbits, says Max Lucado, that we've missed the fat one: the God-centered life.

If you want to shift into high gear with purpose, this is it: Life makes sense when we accept our place! Our pleasures, our problems, our gifts and talents...when they're all for the One who created us, we suddenly gain what we've been missing and find out what we've been seeking.

Let Max Lucado show you how to make the shift of a lifetime. How to bump your life off self-center. How to be changed and experience the meaning-charged life you were meant to have. Your discovery starts here.

Right to THE point!

This is a great book. It gets 100% right to the point of life. He doesn't have a bunch of extra "stuff". He comes right at you with the biblical fact that "mans chief end is to glorify God". Very convicting and very challenging. But, if we follow this biblical advice, we will be blessed. MUST read.....er listen ;)

not his best work

Usually I enjoy Max Lucado's books. I did not enjoy this one. I don't know why it didn't resonate, but somehow it just wasn't that interesting. It seemed tired. I didn't even finish the first disc before I decided it was a waste of my time.
