Jennifer Schuchmann has done an amazing job writing a book that will help people live amazing lives if they follow the advice the authors give. Their chapter on financial stewardship is particularly helpful as it will help the reader reach a new level of financial freedom as they focus on the fact that God owns it all. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about living a Christ-filled life that will make a difference.

Matters" and best-selling author of The Debt Diet
The important things are never urgent. And yet in the end, the important things are TRULY the important things. Many of us wait too late to realize this. This book will inspire you to make the important things an urgent thing in your life, BEFORE it is too late. Jennifer and Craig do a masterful job of laying out the case and giving you the ideas to follow thru. At Chick-fil-A, in setting our priorities we ask ourselves, "Ten years from now what will this matter?" Very few things will. Reading this book WILL matter 10 years from now... I'm glad I did... you will be too... I highly recommend it!!!! -David Salyers, Vice President of Marketing Chick-fil-A
I would recommend this book highly for anyone who desires to leave a positive legacy. As a financial advisor, I know that a legacy is never about money; it is always about Christlikeness. Far too many people make the mistake of looking only at their financial legacy to the ultimate tragic consequences that are paid by their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. As Jennifer and Craig say “To the third and to the fourth generation.” May many as yet unborn children benefit from this book.

This book reminds us that there are two integral parts to our legacy: the bricks that we lay daily to build the foundation. And the results of our unique gifts that then become the lasting structure. Chapin and Schuchmann point out that without the foundation, any larger achievements won't connect with those immediately around us. And without stretching our God-given talents, the foundation will be wasted.
The authors use a creative style with well selected examples from history, their own lives, and scripture to reinforce that each of us is building a legacy. But the bricks may wind up as a useless pile, not a firm foundation. And the structure may not be one that we ever want revisited. The choices are ours.
The book calls us to think with every action about the power of our legacy to touch our family and friends for decades; and to consider with every choice the only source for creating a legacy that matters eternally.
-Parker Hudson, Author of On the Edge and The President
When we stand before God He will ask us; "what did you do with my son Jesus?" Jennifer and Craig will have an answer because they have made much of Jesus Christ through this book. Nothing could be more important than the legacy we leave. Will we use everything God gives us to our full potential? "Your Unforgettable Life: Only You Can Choose the Legacy You Leave," gives us no excuses not to fulfill our purpose her on earth for God's Kingdom.

The impact one life can have for generations is humbling and inspiring. Craig and Jennifer are to be commended for helping us focus on the daily choices we make that impact others for years, and which may redeem cities and nations for Christ.
-Senator Judson Hill, Georgia State Senate
Your Unforgettable Life is easy-to-read, pragmatic, and impactful! Authors Schuchmann and Chapin do an outstanding job revealing how the legacies we all leave are not generally made up of one-time momentous events, but rather they result from the accumulations of our daily choices. Many people are held back in life by the negative legacies they inherited, and they continue to pass those negatives on to others. This book helps readers to break this cycle and to create a positive foundation for their lives and the lives of others they influence. Filled with true stories that illustrate their points, Your Unforgettable Life hits us all directly where we live. -Scott Kays, President and Founder of Kays Financial
Advisory Corporation and author of Achieving Your
Financial Potential
This book belongs in every church library to help parents, teachers,and leaders influence young people to make choices and develop characters that please the Lord. Practical and biblical, An Unforgettable Life will challenge you to look beyond yourself to find ways to leave a positive impact on the next generation, regardless of what kind of legacy you inherited from your family. -Lin Johnson, Managing Editor, Church Libraries
Congratulations on a book that needed to be written and now needs to be read. The disciplines in "Your Unforgettable Life: Only You Can Choose the Legacy You Leave," are so important becasue the only Bible many people read is our lives as Christians. This book is designed to help you scrutinize and improve your daily walk as a Christian. It gives you the opportunity to consider how your daily "little" acts affect others and to be more conscious of the legacy you are creating.

Having been the beneficiary of a godly legacy, I'm very thankful that Craig and Jennifer have written this book about how important that is. For whether you have benefited from such a heritage or not, we all have the opportunity in Christ to build a godly legacy for those who follow behind us.

Chapin and Schuchmann’s "Your Unforgettable Life" is crucial for this generation. They richly use life stories and Scripture to help us understand how the decisions we make in everyday life shape and influence our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their families. This book will strengthen families & individuals for generations in a time when the currents of culture continue to erode away at virtues once held highly.
-Rev. Brian Stone, Visionary Pastor for Gen X
Ministries, Haven Reformed Church, Kalamazoo, MI
I was so glad to read Craig and Jennifer’s great insight into the subject of legacy. By sharing Scriptural examples, personal experiences and addressing potential inherited problems, they clearly demonstrate that the legacy we leave is dependent upon the choices we make everyday. I found this book highly motivating and very encouraging.
