| The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven® Life, The) by Zondervan Powerful When Understood |
| Rick Warren hit on a lot of great ways to get people focused on reaching their highest potential. In many ways it is similar to the writings in The Spoken Words of Spirit: Lessons From The Other Side. I was intrigued by Rick's perception of God and the workings of Spirit. IF people follow his plan, at the very least they will learn to be more determined to add a positive force as a driving force for their future. |

| Rick Warren's book has been out for years now and is truly a graduate level course in Christian principles. So often these principles are not taught or learned yet they are basic. Theologically there are differences in various groups but Rick is very sound in application. This is an ideal small group study as well as a personal reader. |
| The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven® Life, The) by Zondervan This book helped strengthen my religious beliefs and my relationships with my family, god and my community. |
I feel compelled to write a review on this book because of the impact it had on me. I love this book, I found it comforting and very thought provoking. It honestly has changed my thoughts about my own spirituality and has given me great perspective on priorities in my life. This book is written in short, easy to read chapters that allow you to reflect easily at each point. I found myself re-reading certain chapters and marking pages that especially touched me. This book is pure goodness, it made me feel grounded, allowed me to see how I lived my life, and what needed to be changed, and what was already working for me. This book and its wisdom will stay with me for some time, and I imagine that I will read parts of it over and over in the future. It helped strengthen my religious beliefs and my relationships with my family, god and my community.

| I already had a copy of this book when I bought another for my daughter who lives in another state. She and I read the book together and then discussed the questions. It brought us closer together as well as brought us closer to God. An experience that can not be beat! |

| This is a book everyone should read. I've bought and given away probably 20-25 copies. It was tremendous help for my daughter when she was going through the dying process. I sent several copies to Iraq at the request of a military person (not a chaplain) there. This last copy I ordered and had delivered to a young man on his way to prison. |

| 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 |
