Summary

What Footprint Will You Leave Behind?According to Crawford Loritts, a legacy is formed through daily living. At every funeral there is a eulogy where the deceased's life is summarized and the high points are capped. Yet, a person's life is not determined by its end, rather it is developed from the beginning. Crawford Loritts, Jr. shows how a life surrounded by the life of Christ makes a difference. As Christians integrate what they know about Christ into their lives they find victory over sin, and find joy and encouragement.
