    About this ebook

    If someone has changed your life for the good, now is the time to celebrate by letting them know how much they matter. This gift book celebrates their story with personalization space “You changed my life by___” to be written in detail by the gifter. It also includes short stories told by New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado about others who have answered the call of their convictions and took steps of faith (both big and small) resulting in lasting change in the lives around them.

    Oftentimes true heroes of faith don’t stand out in the world, but they have made a lasting difference in someone’s life—they’re a hero to someone. You Changed My Life features beautiful four-color photography and is organized into eight chapters:

    • Love, kindness, commitment
    • Compassion, hope, courage
    • Wisdom and friendship

    This thoughtful book is a great gift for men and women on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparents Day, birthdays, or as a thank you. It’s a message that honors the person who receives the book and inspires us all to see that real people with remarkable hearts can change lives.

      This is a small book, with beautiful pictures, and short, inspiring stories and Bible quotes throughout. There is even a page where you can write who you are giving the book to, and how they changed your life.The heartwarming stories are divided into these sections: love, kindness, commitment, compassion, hope, courage, wisdom and friendship. Sometimes it is nice to take the time to make connections. Instead of thinking about the day to day grind, and the list of things to do, we can pause and think about what really matters in life, and thank the people who have made a difference.Many of the stories are about Christians and Christianity. All of the stories have already been published in other books by Max Lucado. Since I haven't read any of his other books, this did not bother me, but I would imagine that someone expecting new stories might be disappointed.I received this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange of this unbiased review.

    This book is for

    someone special. You.

    Who me? you’re saying to yourself. Yes. You.

    You made a difference in the life of the one who gave you this book. You shared words of wisdom, gave of yourself, mentored, led, walked alongside a hurting friend, took time to notice when others didn’t. You did something for someone else. Your words, actions, time—whatever it was, you gave willingly, fully, selflessly. You changed a life.

    And what you did mattered. Your actions mattered to the giver of this book. But more importantly, what you did mattered to the One who matters most. God is fair; he will not forget the work you did and the love you showed for him by helping his people (Hebrews 6:10 ncv).

    May God’s richest blessings be yours.

    Over a hundred years ago in England, the borough of West Stanley endured a great tragedy. A mine collapsed, trapping and killing many of the workers inside. The bishop of Durham, Dr. Handley Moule, was asked to bring a word of comfort to the mourners. Standing at the mouth of the mine, he said, It is very difficult for us to understand why God should let such an awful disaster happen, but we know Him and we trust Him, and all will be right. I have at home, he continued, "an old bookmark given to me
