What Are You Living For? Investing Your Life in What Matters Most
After speaking on teaching and influencing young people at a
student gathering in Texas, Pat Williams received an email from a
high school coach who had heard his talk. Coach McCall's email
stated that every kid who's growing up is dying to live his life.
But as people get older, instead of dying to live, they start
living to die. His closing thought is What are you dying
for?
Unable to escape this question, Pat invites readers to
ask themselves, When my days on earth are over, will I discover
that I have wasted my life on meaningless things that have no
lasting and eternal value? Most people are living for four
things: fortune, status, power, or pleasure. But there are four far
more meaningful and satisfying reasons for living--and for dying.
These give purpose and value to our lives, so that we can know our
lives have eternal significance. If you died tomorrow, what would
people say?
Starting with Jesus's statement that whoever wants to save his life
will lose it, but whoever loses his life for the gospel will save
it, Pat gives a powerful, practical, and encouraging plan for how
to live a life that truly matters and to leave a legacy that never
dies.
