Amazon.com Review
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

 reader and provider of literature to my fiancé' July 27, 2010

this has given me and at the time fiancé now husband the knowledge of God and the reason we serve the lord Jesus Christ. as has gotten us on fire and still on fire for Jesus Christ, and ministering to others about why. know that its not about us, it truly about Jesus.
 Same old shallow platitudes July 18, 2010
Bert
Boring, same-old same-old conservative Southern Baptist platitudes. I grew up that way; Warren doesn't write about anything I didn't hear 40 years ago; there are no "secrets" here. More to the point, there's nothing here that makes a difference to life's real issues: suffering and injustice. I outgrew this long ago, and so should anyone who's led a real life. And also: what he recommends simply doesn't work.

Excellent teaching resource. Easy to read and understand. Wonderful resource for small groups, sunday school class, individuals, student groups, etc. A great teacher, Rick Warren.

Book was listed as "new" and gently written in. It's either "new" or gently written in, it can't be both.
Seller offered a refund if I returned it on my dime.
Good service--prompt delivery! July 6, 2010
