The Legacy Life: Leading Your Family to Make a Difference for Eternity -- David Green, Hardcover

A refreshing, biblical, life-changing alternative to placing our individual desires and dreams above all else

- Develop a legacy perspective on your life and family
- Articulate and live out your mission and values
- Recover from failures and celebrate successes
- Tell your stories from generation to generation

***

We all want to live a life that matters--a life of meaning and significance. The problem is, when we think of a life that makes a difference, we think way too small. Our lives can and should make an impact today--and we should also be working toward building a legacy that lasts for generations to come.

Rejecting the current work-hard-then-retire mindset, David Green, founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High call us to a biblical view of ourselves and our families--a generational mindset. With a paradigm-changing perspective, this book helps you

- develop a legacy perspective on your life and family
- articulate and live out your mission and values
- recover from failures and celebrate successes
- tell your stories from generation to generation

It may feel strange at first, but when you shift your mindset to understand your life in generational terms, you'll discover that while you are not the story, you are part of a story that matters for eternity.

"'Legacy isn't what we leave behind, but what we set in motion.' In a me-centered culture, where faith and family take a back seat to financial success and notoriety, this provocative idea changes everything. If you're interested in passing down more than money, not just for your kids but for generations to come, this is the book for you."--Jim Daly, president, Focus on the Family

"In a world focused on short-term success, my friends David Green and Bill High call us to point our lives heavenward to set in motion a legacy of eternal significance. Like the ripples that emanate from a rock thrown into a pond, our influence for Christ can keep going on and on through our testimony, commitment, and passion for the gospel."--Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor, First Baptist Dallas; Bible teacher, Pathway to Victory

"Legacy is far more than money; legacy is a mindset that multiplies. Wherever life finds you, this heartwarming story of the power of belief and family will inspire you."--Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling author; cofounder, Messenger International

"I believe that every human being wants to live a life that matters, but our world offers temporary solutions to silence our God-given ache. I used to try to quiet that cry I felt inside, but now I embrace it as sacred space, a place and a calling that only God can fill. You too can live a legacy life. You were made for more."--Sheila Walsh, author and TV host

"With deep biblical wisdom and practical guidance, this book challenges us to steward our time, talents, and treasures for God's glory and the good of those who come after us. If you're looking to build a life that truly matters, this book is a must-read."--Jordan Raynor, bestselling author, The Sacredness of Secular Work and Redeeming Your Time
