Synopsis

Are you suffering from “someday” syndrome–always waiting for someday when your schedule calms down, your finances improve, or your kids grow up so you can begin to live the life you’ve always dreamed of? Consider how your perspective would change if you found out you had just thirty days to live. After the initial shock, you’d probably resolve to squeeze all you could out of the days that remain. You’d stop wasting precious time, and you’d throw yourself into becoming the person God intended you to be.

Why wait to answer the longings of your heart? You can live this way now, thriving in a life of passion and purpose. In ONE MONTH TO LIVE, Kerry and Chris show you how to stop waiting for “someday” and start making each day really matter. By taking their 30-Day Challenge, you’ll learn what it means to make the most of your time on earth and live life with no regrets.

In ONE MONTH TO LIVE, learn the four principles for living a no-regrets life: Live Passionately (living each day as if it were your last); Love Completely (showing others love that transcends and transforms); Learn Humbly (growing through your problems and pain); and Leave Boldly (creating a legacy that will impact generations). ONE MONTH TO LIVE explores these universal principles and provides questions for reflection to help you examine the core areas of your life and ultimately live the life you were made for.

AudiobooksNow review by Palmer on 2011-01-26 19:35:35

This book is really for 'True Believers' only. If you are not going to follow their advice because you have already accepted the Jesus as your loard and saviour, then you will probably find this book offensive. Instead of relating from a place universal wisdom and experience, they present the material like a Sunday sermon.

I really enjoyed this book. I listened as an audiobook from the library. This is one of those books that you need to take your time on and reflect, no just gobble it up, so the two week check out at the library was not the way to go. The authors want us to live life so that we are always prepared to......more

Quotes

Praise for One Month to Live

“So many of us waste our lives with ‘when and then’ thinking, believing that ‘when’ this or that happens, ‘then’ we will really start living and do something for God that really matters. That approach is guaranteed to leave you with regrets. At the end of your life, the only thing that will matter is whether you accomplished God’s purpose for your life. Jesus was just 12 when he said, ‘I must be about My Father’s business.’ Barely 20 years later, he could say to the Father, ‘I have completed the work you gave me to do.’ If we all had that kind of focus and concentration in our lives, there’s no telling what God could accomplish in the world! Kerry and Chris Shook want you to grasp that amazing insight: Embracing your mortality sets you free to live a meaningful and significant life without regret. One Month to Live is a great way to discover the purposeful, joyful, abundant life God created you to enjoy!”
–Rick Warren, founding pastor, Saddleback Church, and author of international bestseller, The Purpose Driven Life

And in One Month to Live, Kerry and Chris Shook remind us of the true depth and meaning that God has in store for each of our lives. No matter where you are in your walk with God, this book will reveal to you a fresh and much-needed perspective.

—Ed Young, Senior and Founding Pastor of Fellowship Church
