Product Description

Another Landmark Book by Rick Warren.

You are not an accident. Even before the universe was created, God had you in mind, and he planned you for his purposes. These purposes will extend far beyond the few years you will spend on earth. You were made to last forever!

Self-help books often suggest that you try to discover the meaning and purpose of your life by looking within yourself, but Rick Warren says that is the wrong place to start. You must begin with God, your Creator, and his reasons for creating you. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

This book will help you understand why you are alive and God's amazing plan for you?both here and now, and for eternity. Rick Warren will guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that will transform your answer to life's most important question: What on earth am I here for? Knowing God's purpose for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give meaning to your life, and, most importantly, prepare you for eternity.

The Purpose Driven? Life is a blueprint for Christian living in the 21st century?a lifestyle based on God's eternal purposes, not cultural values. Using over 1,200 ural quotes and references, it challenges the conventional definitions of worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism. In the tradition of Oswald Chambers, Rick Warren offers distilled wisdom on the essence of what life is all about.

This is a book of hope and challenge that you will read and re-read, and it will be a classic treasured bygenerations to come.

Life Changing December 6, 2006
Reviewer: Anonymous from MD

My husband has been taking it from me to listen to on his way to gigs. Its really captured both our lives and had made a difference, so we can make a difference.

Loved It! October 18, 2006
Reviewer: Anonymous from Hawaii

This was the first christian book that ive read, besides the bible, and i thought it was a great way to kick start my life to focus on God. It made me see things a lot clearer as far as what i should do with my life and how God is calling me. The daily readings are maybe average 6-7 pages. It will make you have a completely different perspective towards the world and the way you are as an individual. Life on earth is a temporary assignment, its not our final destination, we should live to fill our mission from God. This is an amazing book!

Changed My Mind September 1, 2006
Reviewer: from NC

When I finished reading through this book, you could not get to shut up about all the things that I learned. My eyes got wider and stronger with each word that I read. It also left a few thousand hand prints on my face from all the slaps it delivered.

Great Book! A Must Have! February 7, 2006
Reviewer: Kelly from Fresno, CA.

I learned so much about myself through this book. It changed my life! God has a plan for me!!

Must reading December 28, 2005
Reviewer: Anonymous from Utah

I am not a total enthusiast of this book because it espouses some non christian doctrines, but is a popular read. I give it a 3 out 5.

Great way to start the day! November 6, 2005
Reviewer: Brad from Canada

If you feel your morning devotions arent really doing much for you, check out this book and youll see that you mean more to God than you knew, and youre here for a reason!

Purpose Driven Life August 28, 2005
Reviewer: M from Minnesota

There have been a number of negative comments, though plenty of positive too, but i think it shows how much opposition one receives when writing something with the impact that this book has. unfortunately, the old religious arm that wants to determine standards outside of God rears its ugly head when someone acts through the Holy Spirit. I thought it was too basic for me at first, but picking it up at a friend's house, i started to read again, and find how much it helps to be reminded again of the significance of my life in God's plan. Warren says he used over a thousand scriptures and, in my opinion, wisely chose many different translations, because, as he points out, the original writings were in Hebrew and Greek and many words are lost when it goes into English! So, since the Word says that all scripture is profitable for teaching and training in righteousness, all of the Word he uses alone has such power.

Purpose Driven Life July 26, 2005
Reviewer: Anonymous from USA

Shows the purpose of life, to worship God! Leads to a great walk with God.

special July 13, 2005
Reviewer: Benjamin from NY

He elaborates on five truths to answer this question of why we are here. According to Warren, we exist for the purposes of worship, ministry, evangelism, fellowship and discipleship. He states that in fulfilling these roles on earth, we find and fulfill our purposes. This is a comprehensive book about how to live the Christian life successfully. It discusses most of the major themes of The Bible. Warren cites over 1,000 scriptures in the book. He rarely makes a point without quoting from the Bible. The messages of the chapters are relevant for new and mature Christians.

Eye Opening July 7, 2005
Reviewer: Lindsey from california

While I keep hearing controversy surrounding this book i have to say as of yet i cant find any of it honestly credible. The bible verses seem to follow along with what he is trying to say and although some of my favorite speakers seem to have a problem with it i have found nothing but useful information on living a life filled with purpose. There are a lot of issues in this book that touch the heart such as you are not a mistake, its not about you its about god, what it really means to worship and others, i really reccomend this book to anyone who is looking to broaden their ideas about how God looks at life-it is a real eye opener especially in today's world and in American culture.

The Purpose Driven Life May 17, 2005
Reviewer: Shunda from

This book teaches you more than purpose. It also teaches you spiritual discipline by commiting to the study for 40 days. It opened my eyes to why I am here. I never really thought about the fact that God really had a purpose for creating me until I read this book. I actually know people who have given their life to the Lord because of reading this book.

A book you must get April 30, 2005
Reviewer: Anonymous from Texas

Rick Warren has put this book together which has impacted many people's life. I have personally taken this 40 days of purpose and it changed my life. There are many new things you will discover. Just like the Bible, you think you know all the basic and foundation of your faith, but you continue to learn something new each day. Get it.

Purpose Driven Life March 17, 2005
Reviewer: Leah from USA

We read this book as a church a few years ago and I enjoyed it immensely. Each and every Sunday School class from youth to adults discussed the book chapter by chapter as the chapters were read at home during the week. The book shows one how they can have a life lived to the fullest and how to live it for God. It's a good book and it will really make you think!

Purpose Driven Review February 14, 2005
Reviewer: Derrick from

Rick Warren gives and puts light on our purpose here on this earth. He uses excellent and accurate bible texts to reveal "What on earth are we here for". Its an excellent devotional, and a good source for evangelism.

Inspiring conversation piece February 7, 2005
Reviewer: Stephanie from MN

This book really makes me contemplate and want to give even more of my time and life to the Lord. You will NOT be disappointed with this book- there are many verses given to refer to and questions at the end of each section to initiate thoughts and chats.

I LOVE IT!!! December 1, 2004
Reviewer: Anonymous from

I am currently using this book to rebuild a stable relationship with my ex-boyfriend. It is helping us get to know each other better so that we can build a strong foundation on which to build a strong future relationship on. MANY THANKS!

Waiting for what November 19, 2004
Reviewer: Lauren from Mandeville, LA

My church, along with many others, went through this book in small groups and had I think 7 weeks of corresponding Sunday services. I had read this book before, but our church grew 500 people - and they stayed! It is just a testimony to the power of this book. It is very basic and presents a lot of very relevant Scriptures. It's a practical book, and nice because you can read a chapter a day and not feel bogged down by super-heavy theology. It's a nice bedside book.

Okay September 21, 2004
Reviewer: Anonymous from USA

The Purpose Driven life was an alright book, it brought up some good points. However, much of the book was not completly biblical.

Life Altering August 18, 2004
Reviewer: Nick from Buff. NY

The Purpose Driven Life goes deep into the truth of why God has created us. It goes through a 40-day period of where one chapter a day should be read. The book helps change your outlook on everything from Praising God to bowing to His awesome Power. After every chapter I couldn't wait to come back to the book for more. I highly encourage every Christian and non-Christian alike to read this authentic amazing book. I pray that God will bless you through it as much as He has blessed me!

Life Changing - Really July 23, 2004
Reviewer: Melissa from Ulysses, KS

The Purpose Driven Life has the power to change every one who reads it. The book can give definite direction and purpose to every reader. Rick Warren explains how this life is all for the next. When our focus changes from the finite to the infinite, we can bear the cruelties of this world and of Satan. He Biblically illustrates how God is intertwined into every single detail of our lives. There is a purpose to everything; where we live and work, to our appearance. The simplicity of Rick's explanations are also a big plus. No theological arguments, only real life reason. I would recommend this work to any one, Christian or not.
