Teen Austin Gutwein teaches us how to live to give

Ellen's Picks  
Ellen says...

We absolutely love Austin around the office, and really enjoyed his first motivational book Take Your Best Shot. For such a young person, he has been able to accomplish so much- yet is able to remain so humble. He truly has a heart for serving others, and has put this passion into action. He is now sharing his wisdom in his second book, Live to Give. It is an eye-opening, inspirational read for both adults and young people alike which proves that just one person can make a huge difference.


About the resource...
Paperback • Thomas Nelson •  9781400319930

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, and a dormitory 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.
