Max Lucado collaborated with his daughter Jenna Lucado Bishop in this book for teens. It gives easy, practical tips of ways that you can serve God and your community. I enjoyed how easy this book is to understand, and yet it’s packed with great truths. It displays stories of teens who made a difference, who realized that God created them to do more in their lives than what immediately benefits them. You Were Made to Make a Difference is enjoyable and clear, full of inspiring stories of young people who rose beyond negative stereotypes and did something to help someone else.
One of my favorite chapters was chapter five: Unplug and Tune In. It talked about how our generation is dulled by technology and media, rarely taking the time to “unplug the headphones,” and see the need around them.
I think that the ideas in this book are vital for teens who need to step out of their comfort zone and make a difference for someone who can’t do it on their own. Max Lucado and Jenna Bishop did a fabulous job of making this relevant for teenagers.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who has read and enjoyed books like Do Hard Things and Start Here by Alex & Brett Harris. My rating? Four stars. Great job, Max and Jenna.
