One Month to Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life

This is a good book to read in a regular basis not just a one time read. I shared a lot of quotes from this book with others and I found it to have a great balance of inspiration and practicality.

This is a MUST read for anyone who wants to get their life in order and start living in the moment. I felt so encouraged after I would read a chapter I didn't want to put it down. There are so many thought provoking chapters and the book is full of quotes to ponder. I am going to start doing a Bible study with teen girls on this book. It's never too late to start living in the now. It's easy to read too. You read one chapter a day and enjoy every one. I can't say enough about how much this book changed my viewpoint. I am enjoying every day with my children and getting my priorites in order. Enjoy!!!

I was inspired by this book immediately, right from its introduction titled "Living the dash." The authors use that phrase to refer to the dash between the birth and death dates on headstones. The dash represents a lifetime. What a person does during that dash, the authors point out, is completely in his or her hands. The authors challenge you -- literally -- to make the most of it, to open your eyes and live each day with enthusiasm and meaning. The first page has a contract to sign called "The One-Month-To-Live Challenge" which states "I commit with God's strength to live the next thirty days as if they are my last so I can experience life to the full!" There is a spot for your signature and a spot for a friend to sign as a witness. The rest of the book serves as a day-by-day manual for your monthlong conversion. There's a chapter for each day. Each one opens with two inspiring quotes (from people as varied as Helen Keller, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Maya Angelou) and includes questions to help you examine your life from a particular perspective. At the end of each chapter are three ways to act on the topic, for example making a list of five things you'd change about your life if you only had a month to live, or going outside and looking at the stars. Though "One Month to Live" is filled with Biblical verses and stories, its message, and approach, can easily work for those of any faith. Living life to the fullest: What a terrific goal! As George Eliot wrote, in a quote from chapter 8: "It is never too late to be what you might have been." Here is the book's table of contents: Day 1: Introduction -- Living the dash Principle 1: Live Passionately Day 2: Roller Coaster -- Riding the Big Dipper Day 3: Time Squared -- Spending your most valuable resource Day 4: Power Surge -- Connecting with the ultimate source Day 5: Oxygen Mask -- Breathing first Day 6: Monkey Bars -- Risking greatness Day 7: Dreamsicle -- Thawing out your frozen dreams Day 8: Kick Start -- Living life full throttle Principle 2: Love Completely Day 9: Heart of the Matter -- Relating and not waiting Day 10: Ocean -- Exploring the depths of forgiveness Day 11: Everest -- Scaling the obstacles to unity Day 12: Boxing Ring -- Resolving conflicts by fighting fair Day 13: Sandpaper -- Smoothing the edges Day 14: The Gift -- Thanking those around you Day 15: Last Call -- Revealing your heart Principle 3: Learn Humbly Day 16: Star Power -- Discovering who you were meant to be Day 17: GPS -- Finding your direction Day 18: Hurricane -- Withstanding the winds of change Day 19: Metamorphosis -- Changing from the inside out Day 20: Earthquake -- Building a foundation that lasts Day 21: Mulligan -- Playing with integrity Day 22: Road Signs -- Experiencing a personal miracle Principle 4: Leave Boldly Day 23: Sandcastles -- Creating a lasting legacy Day 24: Seeds -- Planting for the future Day 25: Sticks and Stones -- Using eternal building materials Day 26: Collisions -- Staying the course when your life crashes Day 27: Starfish -- Making a world of difference Day 28: Footprint -- Leaving a lasting impression Day 29: Game Over -- Dying to live Day 30: Game On -- Living it up

One of the most thought provoking books I have read in a while. It helps put your life in perspective.

This audio book was clearly read and was easy to understand for the average person on the go. The book was not read in a monotone voice and there is some background to keep your attention. The contents of the audio book are clearly divided by "days" (30 days). The print version has about 3-5 pages per "day" chapter. One Month to Live helps us to consider living a life of passion and purpose now, instead of having 'someday' syndrome. Someday I will do this or that. The spiritual aspect of the book affirms that we have permission from God to live a full and abundant life now!

The book was a recommendation for me to Read and I must say that the book didn’t keep my attention.

Love it!

This book is a daily reminder of how we should be living our lives every day.....as if it's our last 30 days! It makes you want to be a better person and to treat others, as you would want to be treated. It makes you examine your heart and how you want God to judge you, when your time is up. If you keep that in mind, you can't hold hatred, unforgiveness, racism, bigotry or any other ungodly characteristics in your spirit. Highly recommend!!!

I really enjoyed reading this book because it challenges you to face the fact that one day you will die and it helps you to value every day - not just for what you can get out of it but also for what you can give. A must read for every serious Christian.

Great book good price

Very good buy. Price is right and delivery very quick.

love it

This book has nothing to do with the last month to live. It's written by 2 people running a small church and is a load of rubbish. All it does is ask you questions about your life and gives no helpful advice.
