Bestselling author, speaker and pastor John Maxwell tells of a time in his early years when he received a book titled “The Greatest Story Every Told” from someone he greatly respected and admired. A 1965 biopic of the same title depicting Jesus’ life from birth to ascension chronicles Divinity’s humanity over its thirty-three year span. I can only imagine that John felt he would encounter something just as epic when he delved into this new publication. Opening the book with great anticipation, he was shocked to discover its thick pages were completely blank – save for the one his benefactor had inscribed with the following words, “John, your life is before you. Fill these pages with kind acts, good thoughts, and matters of your heart. Write a great story with your life. Needless to say, the encounter was as close as it could get to the original on the epic scale. That pithy gift marked his life forever.
