Product Description

The spiritual premise in The Purpose-Driven Life is that there are no accidents---God planned everything and everyone. Therefore, every human has a divine purpose, according to God's master plan. Like a twist on John F. Kennedy's famous inaugural address, this book could be summed up like this: "So my fellow Christians, ask not what God can do for your life plan, ask what your life can do for God's plan." Those who are looking for advice on finding one's calling through career choice, creative expression, or any form of self-discovery should go elsewhere. This is not about self-exploration; it is about purposeful devotion to a Christian God. The book is set up to be a 40-day immersion plan, recognizing that the Bible favors the number 40 as a "spiritually significant time," according to author Rick Warren, the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, touted as one of the nation largest congregations. Warren's hope is that readers will "interact" with the 40 chapters, reading them one day at a time, with extensive underlining and writing in the margins. As an inspirational manifesto for creating a more worshipful, church-driven life, this book delivers. Every page is laden with references to scripture or dogma. But it does not do much to address the challenges of modern Christian living, with its competing material, professional, and financial distractions. Nonetheless, this is probably an excellent resource for devout Christians who crave a jumpstart back to worshipfulness. --Gail Hudson

Started reading, but was driven to In Search of Balance by Dr. Richard A. Swenson. Don't know why I switched, but it was the right fit.

In Search of Balance should be read by all that are involved in a hetic life balancing faith, home, wife, child, and work. Basically, the life system we live in. This book is faith based on on target with our current times.

I'll get back to Purpose Driven Life later.

This book really helped me put things into perspective. It is 100% bible based and I loved it so much I bought copies for my dearest friends...

I once bought a copy of The Purpose Driven Life off of a used book rack not knowing that it was a religious book, but because I had been wanting to focus my life by directing all of my actions with some chosen purpose (if only I could decide which purpose). It's not the first religious book that I've bought disguised as a self help book (see my review of Charles Lever's If You Can't Climb The Wall, Build A Door!). I can't recall how I ended up getting rid of it.

A great book that puts all of life in perspective! We are not here for ourselves! It is not about us! Highly recommended for anyone doubting their purpose in life.
