Editorial Reviews

Review

Wow! I love this book. -- Lowell "Bud" Paxson, president emeritus, Home Shopping Network; chairman emeritus, PAX TV

From the Inside Flap

Who Are You...Really? What is your life? That all depends. You can be defined by your successes and failures. You can be limited by the unfortunate things that have happened to you. Or you can be a person who sees your life as part of something big...something God intended for you from the start. Living a Life on Loan gives you a blueprint for becoming an integral part of God's timeless story. And when you encounter him the way he designed, you will look for practical ways to intersect others' lives-by serving them you'll impact their stories with God's plan for all eternity. That's living a life on loan.

LillieDiane - See all my reviews

This review is from: Living a Life on Loan: Finding Grace at the Intersections (Hardcover)

Rick Rusaw and Eric Swanson remind us how vital it is to be active in the community. Yes, we can make a difference in our corner of the world - one person at a time. Living a Life on Loan reminded me that I need to use my God given abilites to help others around me.

In a world that knows something critical is missing in peoples lives, this book provides a lamp, a guide to what is really missing and wrong in our lives. This books leads you back to God our creator and allows you to experience the unfadthomable depth of his love for his creation.

All praise and glory be to God and his son Jesus our precious savior

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, November 9, 2006

Hal B (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Living a Life on Loan: Finding Grace at the Intersections (Hardcover)

This is a book for those seeking to connect thier sense of purpose, sense of faith, and sense of community into a plan for thier journey forward. It's written in a simple, no nonsense, connect-the-dots style. It is written for the common man, of which I consider myself. Compels me to action. A must read.
