The Legacy Life: Leading Your Family to Make a Difference for Eternity

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.
