Making Life Matter by Shane Stanford

In a world of fast-paced schedules and priorities, conversations about what makes for a life well lived are a rarity and a luxury.  But what if the daily pace of life held in itself the way to make choices more significant?

Shane Stanford wants his life to matter and so should you.  Making Life Matter is just a  small book, but with a big message that creates an even larger impact.  Each chapter is followed by a prayer, journey points and life questions you can ask yourself, or share in a group.  He discusses his own life and the choices he has made, as well as several other significant people.  Shane shows us the way to take simple steps daily to achieve our principals and make our life matter.  It's very easy to read and understand, sprinkled with proverbs and Psalms.  It's a book to be cherished, read at your leisure and return to again and again.  I think it would be great for Sunday school discussions, as well.
