    Great book especially if you’re looking to increase your faith or just starting in your faith. I got baptized after getting through half the book. This book shift my thoughts and mind set and started to make me more like Jesus and build a relationship with him, when I never had one prior to this book.

    I love this book. It helped me realize that there’s a lot that I still need to learn, to strengthen my relationship with the Lord, to have faith and he will always show me the way. I highly recommend this book to anyone that’s trying to find their way, who’s confused or doesn’t know in what direction their lives should go. Thank you again.

    The Purpose Driven Life is one of the most life changing books I have ever read right up there with The Art of War. Sadly I have recently discovered to my utter dismay, outrage and disappointment that my the audiobook copy I purchased in April 2020 was pulled from my Library. Pastor Rick Warren, I do not understand how you can condone such an egregious violation of people’s rights. I considered this audiobook a precious masterpiece, a gem and gift and to be fair I gave it a perfect score but just as you said “an unopened gift is useless” and now that I can no longer have access to my book my gift is useless to me isn’t. What a crying shame!

    Hands down the best Christian book I’ve ever read! This book basically covers every important aspect of the human experience and gives valuable Christian insight. I know that I will read it again and refer to it often.

    This book is a life changer. It has the wisdom that you need to point you in the right direction. The question that remains is “Are you and I going to benefit from this book and pursue our purpose, or just put it on a shelf and continue living life the way we always have?”
  • A great self help guide

    I read this book after my freshman year in college. In which I deleted all social media and stopped carriages about the large amount of “followers”. In fellowship with God it felt so good to let go and grow, not only did I finish the print version of this book, but I donated it to the local nursing home. It definitely provided a piece of the puzzle to reflect during my freshman year, so thankful that God placed this art from the author across my path.

    This book explains that God had us in his mind before we were in the womb. That our life here on earth is not our home; eternity in heaven is! It is so comforting in knowing that! :)

    I have read this book for the third time in my life and at different stages. It teaches me new things and reminds me off many other things I perhaps stopped doing. I encourage everyone I know to read this book with an open mind open heart and sit with it. Let God translate what it means for you and your life.

  • Vital Doctrines Are Missing

    By MKWick
    My wife and I were given this New York Times Bestseller several years ago, and I read it a couple of times. The book is designed to be read over a course of 40 days, which I did in my first reading, but in my second reading, I completed it in a few days. The Purpose Driven Life answers life's most important question: What on earth am I here for? If you don't know the answer, reading Warren's book will provide you the answer in a way that is easy to understand. Even if you are a Christian, this book provides some wise counsel that can help you live life for the glory of God. Unfortunately, there are some major elements lacking in this book. Vital doctrines that are missing include man's sinfulness and our need for a Savior, the substitute sacrifice of the sinless Christ who bore our sin on the cross. For a serious critique of Rick Warren's Purpose Drive Life (from a reformed perspective), I highly recommend visiting Tim Challies' blog.
