The Purpose Driven Life – Rick Warren
Voted “Book of the Decade!”
— NEW MAN MAGAZINE
“Movie stars and political leaders aren’t the only ones turning to Rick Warren for spiritual guidance. Millions of people — from NBA and LPGA players to corporate executives to high school students to prison inmates — meet regularly to discuss The Purpose-Driven® Life, which teaches that the only way to discover who you are, and what you’re living for, is to understand God’s purpose for your life. The first line puts it bluntly: “It’s not about you!” Explains Warren: “Looking within yourself for your purpose doesn’t work. If it did, we’d know our purpose by now. . . . The world is on the verge of a spiritual awakening, as people seek the fulfillment they don’t get from fast-track jobs and can’t buy with gold cards. The culture is asking, `How do I fill this hole in my heart?'”
– TIME
“The Purpose-Driven® Life turns the thesis of the typical self-help tome straight on its head. The premise — that true purpose in life is found not in self-absorption but through faith in action — rings true. . . . Warren’s message is unassailable. It accomplishes a great deal by urging us to turn our focus above rather than within.”
– WALL STREET JOURNAL
“The Purpose-Driven® Life is the epicenter of a spiritual shockwave taking root across America in unlikely places like offices and college campuses. It is more than a book; it has become a movement.”
– ARC NEWS
“Rick Warren has a knack for giving people a sense of purpose when life can seem materialistic and meaningless.”
