Description
Written by a professional actress who admits that she is the most self-centered person she knows, Chasing Famous provides practical and sometimes humorous examples of scriptural truth to help you master the natural, human, self-centered tendencies of your life. Once you've mastered these issues—and you can—your story will shine the spotlight on God, and you’ll soon discover what it means to truly live.
Advance Praise
“The overwhelming need for validation drives the performer in every single one of us! ‘See me, love me, affirm me,’ is our constant cry on social media, at church on Sundays, even as we send our Christmas cards out each sacred December. Whether you’re a stage actress or a stay-at-home mom, Lisa Lloyd carries us all along on her journey in the spotlight so that we might learn to purposefully live our lives turning that same beam of light on Jesus. After all, He is the Light of the World . . . and all the world’s His stage! Packed full of Scripture truth and resonating examples of biblical characters who lived their unique stories for such a time as this, Chasing Famous inspires readers to offer up their own personal narratives for God’s ultimate glory! Inspiring, challenging, and such an important read for each of us living in this digital age that lauds applause on Christian fame.” —Wendy Speake, actress, speaker, and author of Life Creative: Inspiration for Today’s Renaissance Mom and Triggers
“Lisa Lloyd has written a book that relentlessly fixes our eyes on Jesus. She candidly shares her story of finding purpose inside and outside the lights of the stage and film. The struggle she unveils is universal. As you turn these pages, she will ask you the same questions about your life. This book is for you. It will inspire and challenge you.” —Tracy Levinson, author of Unashamed: Candid Conversations About Dating, Love, Nakedness and Faith”
“After a speaking event, I asked two young girls what they dreamed of doing one day. They both said they dreamed of ‘being famous.’ My heart sank. This desire for fame is an ageless epidemic perpetuated by a deep desire to be valued, needed, and important. Lisa speaks right to the heart of this epidemic in a creative and engaging way through both personal reflection and God’s Word. I am so thankful God made it clear to Lisa that this is her purpose . . . to use the story God has written in her life to bring Him fame.” —Jenn Sprinkle, cofounder of The Well Studio

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy of Chasing Famous through the publisher and Netgalley.
God wants us to use our lives to be a testimante to his fame. He wants our lives to show his love.
We are reminded that we were all born to do something, to be something. We were all created with a purpose in mind. The author also points out success doesn't mean the same thing for everyone.
The author goes on to remind us of using our gifts to glorify God, whatever your gifts maybe.
I give Chasing Famous five out of five stars.
Happy Reading.
