The choice to live an ordinary life is no longer an option! Greatness–lasting greatness–is a desire built into every human heart. For the believer in Christ, it is not only possible, but expected. How will your life matter? God wants your life to count for eternity. He wants you to join the team of rescuers He is sending into a desperate world.

Anybody who has been on the receiving end of Ron Hutchcraft’s ministry knows the impact of both his life and his words. In A Life That Matters he nags at our conscience on more time. This time about something very close to the heart of Jesus…compassion in action. You need to read this book!
-Joseph M. Stowell, Teaching Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel and Former President, Moody Bible Institute
A Life That Matters may be the best evangelism-training manual I have ever seen! Ron gives us the rich distillation of his years doing it in the trenches. His insights are fresh, compelling, liberating, motivating, empowering…in other words, priceless. In an easy-to-apply, easy-to-pass-along approach, Ron has anticipated my major questions, my greatest fears and my deepest longings. No question about it: He’s given me A LOT to pray about, and to expect God to do through me!
-David Bryant, Founder and President, Concert of Prayer International
This book is excellent, inspiring, captivating, and full of practical and godly wisdom. It is an outstanding guidebook for Christians seeking God’s high calling for their lives–reaching the lost, for whom Christ died.
-Steve Douglass, President, Campus Crusade for Christ International
In A Life That Matters, Ron Hutchcraft is sharing the passion of his heart, becoming a spiritual lifeline. Christ has called us all to be witnesses; Ron understands this and shares it in his book. With over ninety percent of our population believing in a god of some sort, God is calling His church today to become lifelines to those in need. There is no greater calling than pitching the saving truth of Jesus Christ to others. Ron Hutchcraft shows how one can rise to the greatest calling and do this with ease. Anyone reading this book will not only understand how to share the greatest story of all but also how to do it in such a way that fear is lessened, and the desire to do so is enhanced.
-Tom Phillips, Vice President of Crusades and Training, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
It’s about time! With passion and practicality, Ron Hutchcraft puts the cookies on the bottom shelf to help us draw those without Christ into a relationship with Him. This book breaks down emotional barriers so that new believers can truly "taste and see that the Lord is good."
-June Hunt, Founder, Hope for the Heart Ministry
In Ron Hutchcraft’s book A Life That Matters, he continually magnifies the grace, mercy, and loving provision of our heavenly Father for our daily needs. There are numerous reminders that the lives of Christians do have divine purpose, order, and direction. We live in faith and obedience by the empowering of the Holy Spirit. Under this guidance comes the biblical truth that all of us can rise above the daily challenges to experience hope and fulfill the purpose for which our Lord placed on the earth! We can both experience the abundant life Jesus Christ gives, and we can proclaim the availability of this eternal life to those desiring a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
-Richard H. Harris, Vice President of Church plannting, North American Mission Board
Ron Hutchcraft has done it again. He is one of the finest Christian communitcators of our day. I believe that every Christian who wants to be used of God to the max will be encouraged and helped greatly by this remarkable book.
