Synopsis

The theme of Short Life is the brevity of life developed through several transparent stories from the life of Michael Edward Nichols.

Most people want to live a meaningful life, but many end up living mundane, routine lives that seem to have no purpose. Many want to live well but lack the motivation to get started. Short Life aims to awaken every person to realize their time on earth is short and give practical tips on how to redeem the time the Lord has given those on earth. Michael Edward Nichols discovered the truth that focusing on one’s own death can teach them how to live. Since, the quality of his life has been dramatically impacted by the realization that life is very short.

Michael’s goal is to be a catalyst for transformation in other people’s lives from inside out. Part one of Short Life focuses on inner thoughts and attitudes. Part two concentrates more on outward behavior and relationships. The counter-cultural premise of Short Life challenges readers to actually think about his or her death as much as possible. Surprisingly, rather than causing one to become morbid or depressed, thinking about one’s own death actually unleashes the power to live an authentic, full life.
