Summary

Discover and fulfill your God-given purpose by joining the more than 35 million others who have embarked on a spiritual journey that started with this number one New York Times best-selling book by Pastor Rick Warren.

Before you were born, God knew what your life had in store for you. His hope for you is to discover the life he created just for you - both here on Earth, and forever in eternity. Let Rick Warren guide you as you learn to live out your true purpose.

The Purpose Driven Life is more than a book; it's a road map for your spiritual journey. Combining thoughtful verses from scripture with timely stories and perspectives from Warren's own life, The Purpose Driven Life will help you discover the answer to one of life's most important questions: What on Earth am I here for?

Throughout The Purpose Driven Life, Warren will teach you to spend time getting to know yourself and your creator in order to live your life to the fullest. Unlocking your true purpose will also reduce your stress, simplify your decisions, increase your satisfaction, and, most importantly, prepare you for eternity.

Designed to be listened over the course of 42 days, The Purpose Driven Life will help you see the big picture, giving you a fresh perspective on the way that the pieces of your life fit together. Every section of The Purpose Driven Life provides a daily meditation and practical steps to help you uncover and live out your purpose, starting with exploring three essential questions:

  • The question of existence: Why am I alive?
  • The question of significance: Does my life matter?
  • The question of purpose: What on Earth am I here for?

Each copy of The Purpose Driven Life also includes thoughtful discussion questions, audio Bible studies that go along with every section and access to a supportive online community, giving you the opportunity to dive even deeper into each life-changing lesson.

Up and Down

On the down-side this book sounds like a very long-winded sermon. It's very black and white and Rick often states opinion as fact...which he tries so very hard to justify by continually saying 'the bible says...' and in all honesty there were a fair few times when I felt instead like throwing the bible squarely back at Rick. In a nutshell, when Rick is on form he is undeniably correct and you wil find yourself at the very least actively nodding in agreement.On the other side, Rick can be infuriating to listen to. When he's right he's spot on...otherwide he's totally off the mark. There's no inbetween or grey. For example Rick states that we are 'slaves to God'..on number of occasions his use of language frustrated and even offended. Three stars though because there is a lot of good in this book....best taken in small doses.

Religious Rhetoric

What would have made The Purpose Driven Life better?

Less god and more practical advice

Would you ever listen to anything by Rick Warren again?

No way

Did Rick Warren do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

It's not a charater driven story with a narative.

Unless you count God as a 1 dimenstional character

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Depressing,

The advice was nonsense delivered by sad sound voices. Intercut with sad music every 5-10 which sounds like the sad hulk music

Any additional comments?

Depressing, disappointing , I have subscribed to a book a month since 2007 and this is the only book I didn't want to finish. I wish I could have had that months credit refunded.

I would recommend seth godin , malcolm gladwell, psycho-cybernetics or the power of habbit over this tripe
