"Every one is placed on earth for a purpose and only God can help you understand what that purpose is. Rick Warren does an excellent job in this book to help you find that purpose God has for you. Good Job Mr. Warren!!"
"The Purpose Driven Life was recommended by my cousin. What on earth am I here for? The question is asked in this book. This book lets you know you're here for a reason and God has a purpose for your life. You're not a mistake or an accident. You're not here because of your parents error or because of a night of passion. The Purpose Driven Life explains the purpose is far greater than your own personal fulfillment. The purpose of your life is greater than your family, your career or ambitions. If you want to know you have to begin with God. This book states It all begins with God it opened my eye and has changed my thinking. It's in Christ that we find who we are and what we are living for. God knew us long before we knew Him and He had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living. God planned the very day you were born and even this very moment. Rick Warren suggest a 40 Day journey to read it, but it was difficult because I didn't want to put it down. You will probably want to read it over and over again. This book is a blessing! Please read it at your earliest convenience. Thank you."
"A poor book on Christianity, yet I think Jesus Christ still manages to shine through at points in the book. If you desire to learn about the Jesus Christ of the Bible there are far better books, please do not read this one. It consists of much poor theology, old wives proverbs, and does not focus on the cross of Christ (on Christ) nearly as much as it should.
Nevertheless, God can still use this book and I am sure He has, but I think God uses this book more in spite of itself rather than because of itself.
It was weird, Warren says in the beginning of the book "It's not about you," but throughout the rest of the book he seemed to be saying, "It is all about you" (implicitly if not explicitly). I hope Warren will come out stronger for the truths of Christ, of the Gospel, instead of watering it down so much in the future. It seemed like a good book for comfortable Americanized Christians and if there's one thing we American Christians don't need it is another book making us comfortable.
If you want to read a rigorous book on the Gospel of Christ, on the truth claims of the Gospel then I would suggest:
