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

Awesome product. I really like the fact that it is read by the author!
 Great book
Great book. This helps guide us in the direction that we need to be heading in our life. There are a lot of good scripture based subjects that are brought up in this book. If everyone would live by the bible and have this book help us the world would be a much better place.
Purpose Driven Life accomplishes it's purpose!
This is an awesome book for just about anyone. I highly reccomend it for someone who is searching and isn't really a Christian. It is wonderful for Christians whether they are new believers or have been a believer for years. It is a book you can pick up and read over again several times and always get something out of it. I work with teens and young people in their twenties who are incarcerated. I send this book to many of them. I recently heard from a young man who thanked me profusely for the book and said it probably "Saved his life." He absolutely loved it. It explains the way to live out faith from God's perspective in a way that puts it all together. I would highly reccomed it for anyone.
