Product Description
Take the 30-Days to Live Challenge at www.OneMonthtoLive.com!
What if you only had one month to live? How would you make each day meaningful? How would you relate to others differently? What would you do to make the rest of your life really matter?
With eye-opening insights and soul-inspiring truths, One Month to Live will challenge you to embrace the life God has entrusted to you and you alone, and to live it out moment by moment with wholehearted authenticity, honesty, and integrity.
Each chapter overflows with inspiring quotations, colorful true stories, and questions for reflection. The four sections, which can be read over four weeks, help you examine the core areas inside you that long to be exercised and expressed: how you’re made to live passionately, love boldly, learn from your mistakes, and leave a legacy that endures for generations after you’re gone. Complete with uplifting action points, each of the thirty chapters–one per day in a life-changing month–offers you fresh strategies for overcoming habits that mire you in mediocrity.
Open yourself to the challenge of embracing your mortality and being empowered to live each day engaged in being fully alive.

What brought me to this Book, One Month to Live. We had it as our sermons in Church and, found it very enlighting.It hit me pretty much at home as, have a family member that has just about the title of the book to live. Do I give it to him? I think not. What with being 49 years old, chemo sickness etc., I think not. He is reading the Bible but, afraid to die? Lots to think about here.
Could be Life-Changing.... October 25, 2008
The Shooks have penned a compelling thirty-day study aid that is as rich as the Purpose Driven Life and should appeal to the same crowd. I have noticed, though, that what you read doesn't change your life unless you invest yourself in it. If you purchase One Month to Live and do nothing but read it, don't expect any major results. Just like we can read the Bible, sit through and amazing sermon, sing our hearts out during worship and leave unscathed, so can you read this book and not see a difference.
One Month to Live could be a tool that changes you from the inside out.
 FABULOUS BOOK October 25, 2008
I was given this book by our youth pastor and it's probably the BEST book I've ever gotten. The authors write in such a down to earth, every day way of life it makes the simplest ideas profound. Wished I had this book in my 20's not 50's.
This book is readable to anyone at any point in their Christian walk with God.

Book Review: One Month To Live by Kerry and Chris Shook
If you had one month to live, would you spend your time differently? One year ago this month, I arrived to the emergency room of our local hospital. My father had been there for 12 hours, trying to find a diagnosis for the pain in his side and yellowing skin. A team of doctors gave him their final statement--pancreatic cancer, less than a year to live. Of course we left in tears, but how we spent the next few months was not easy either.
Kerry and Chris Shook, authors of One Month To Live: Thirty Days To a No Regrets Life, have written a book which raises awareness of this issue. Some of us know when we'll die, but most of us don't. In their profession as pastor and wife, they've witnessed grief and sadness while residing over many funerals. Believing that people need to live as if their time is limited--which it is--Chris first implemented his idea of living awareness at a retreat. There he had staff fill out a daily journal about how they would live differently if they only had one month to live.
My father and mother awkwardly met with my sister, myself, and our spouses for lunch at a restaurant the following day. None of us knew what to say. I could hardly look at my dad with his piercing blue eyes. Mom and Dad began to travel--to visit my brother, grandmother, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, old friends. Dad saw just about everyone, in his own way, saying goodbye. People were important to my father. He'd also really wanted his entire life to see the Grand Canyon, but never did.
"Mortality," the Shooks write, "is the great equalizer." We will eventually all leave this earth. The purpose of One Month To Live is to give the reader "a greater clarity of purpose, and a renewed passion for things that really matter." The book is divided into four sections or weeks which include Make It Count Moments--questions for the reader which will help him examine his life and target what's most important, and Make It Last For Life--ideas on how to utilize each day's focus.
Section One: Live Passionately--Are you putting things off? Thinking you'll get to it in the future? The time is now.
Section Two: Love Completely--People are made to be social and emotional beings. Have sincere relationships with family, your spouse, and your children.
Section Three: Learn Humbly--Your money and looks will not bring contentment. Change needs to begin within. Drop that grudge!
Section Four: Leave Boldly--Leave a lasting legacy. "Our relationships are the only investment that can't be destroyed by a fire or natural disaster or be lost in the stock market."--The Shooks
During my dad's final months, he purchased a convertible red Mustang with a black pull-down roof. He drove it once. He also buried the hatch with all grudges against various individuals he'd been carrying around for a lifetime. Of everything that occurred, that was the most welcoming change. Dad loved people and they loved him back. Do yourself a favor, bury the hatchet, at least for yourself, now and live as if each day was your last. Appreciate the small moments that count.

"... it will wash away like a sandcastle at high tide" -Leave Boldly October 4, 2008
LEAVE BOLDLY: "After they die, it will wash away like sandcastle at high tide." One month to live is divided into four compartments of no-regrets: Live Passionately, Love Completely, Learn Humbly, and Leave Boldly! Every chapter is forwarded with wise inscriptions such as Ralph Waldo Emerson- "The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn." Kerry and Chris Shook reminds us that 80% of all communication is non-verbal in a text message & computer age. We "must adjust with change or your ship will be crushed." Surrender to God's power. Pain is inherent. Metamorphasis (of a butterfly), the struggle, is needed in order to soar. A simple fast read with applicable heart rendering pieces to remember. I'm off soaring.....
