Live to Give

Description

Want to do something for God but don't know what? Want to help others but don't know who? Want to know what it is you're really good at doing? Your gifts may feel small and insignificant. But God can use them to work a miracle!
Inspired by the biblical story of the feeding of the 5,000, Live to Give delivers a message of hope that we all have something to give. Written in the down-to-earth, candid voice of the gifted young man who as a kid founded a relief ministry that has saved and improved countless lives in Africa, Live to Give is the message that every teen needs to hear: You are more special than you know, and you can do big things.
Jesus proved that no gift is too small when He used five loaves and two fish to feed a crowd of thousands. And if no gift is too small, too ordinary, or too random, there is no limit to what the youth of today can accomplish!
A teenage philanthropist who has built a high school, two medical clinics, five dormitories, two computer labs, and countless wells in Africa-all before the age of 16-Austin Gutwein shares how to take what may seem like the simplest of talents, gifts, and interests and use them for something Jesus can use to move mountains.

Review
"Can one person make a huge difference? Austin proves the answer is YES." - Max Lucado

From the Author
When you read the story of the feeding of the 5000, the Bible talks about how the crowd became "restless" and began to "stand". Have you ever wondered how many of them grew tired; maybe they were too hungry and went home? I've often wondered if this story couldn't have been the feeding of the 10,000 or even the 100,000. When you're tired, hungry and simply worn out, will you stick with whatever God has called you to? The road may be long, it may be dusty, there may be people on it that make fun of you, bully you, and want to steal what you have. But Jesus promises never to leave us or forsake us. Each of us have a special gift; a special lunch that God is ready to use to change the world. There's a miracle ready to happen. - Austin
