Publishers Description
A groundbreaking manifesto on the meaning of lifeThe most basic question everyone faces in life is Why am I here? What is my purpose? Self-help books suggest that people should look within, at their own desires and dreams, but Rick Warren says the starting place must be with God—and his eternal purposes for each life. Real meaning and significance comes from understanding and fulfilling God’s purposes for putting us on earth.The Purpose-Driven Life takes the groundbreaking message of the award-winning Purpose-Driven Church and goes deeper, applying it to the lifestyle of individual Christians. This book helps readers understand God’s incredible plan for their lives. Warren enables them to see “the big picture” of what life is all about and begin to live the life God created them to live.The Purpose-Driven Life is a manifesto for Christian living in the 21st century—a lifestyle based on eternal purposes, not cultural values. Using biblical stories and letting the Bible speak for itself, Warren clearly explains God’s 5 purposes for each of us: We were planned for God’s pleasure—experience real worship. We were formed for God’s family—enjoy real fellowship. We were created to become like Christ —learn real discipleship. We were shaped for serving God—practice real ministry. We were made for a mission —live out real evangelism.This long-anticipated book is the life-message of Rick Warren, founding pastor of Saddleback Church. Written in a captivating devotional style, the book is divided into 40 short chapters that can be read as a daily devotional, studied by small groups, and used by churches participating in the nationwide “40 Days of Purpose” campaign this Fall, 2002. |

 | A good book to have on hand Mar 29, 2007 |
| This is my second personal copy. I have bought over 12 copies for family and close friends. They all have been grateful! Great spiritual reading for small groups who don't mind sharing pieces of their life. | | |  | The Purpose Driven Life Mar 25, 2007 |
ISBN 0310205719 - I'll read almost any book, and really have an interest in anything related to any religion. That said, I truly disliked this book. Still, I'm basing my review on the writing itself. The writing is average and has the tone of being directed at a not-too-intelligent child, which is perhaps fitting - obviously Warren believes that few, if any, people really understand the lessons of the bible.
Meant to be read over a 40 day period, allowing the reader to ponder the questions posed by the author, The Purpose Driven Life serves literally no purpose whatsoever to the non-Christian - there's little for you to learn here that isn't better learned from scholarly texts on Christianity and, really, if you believe in God but not in Jesus-the-son-of-God (even if you believe in Jesus as a prophet), this book comes nowhere near talking to you. For the average Christian, it might spark an interest in re-visiting those things you thought you already knew about being a good Christian. And for the devout Christian, you don't need to read this book.
I was somewhat happily surprised to discover the author's hand in my pocket only a few times, encouraging the reader to buy his journal and other items. Truthfully, I expect more money-mooching from any religion, especially one in which you are commanded to tithe (page 72), so it was a pleasant surprise.
Mostly, I was offended by Warren's apparent assumption that the reader really is a nitwit. One of many examples: on page 65, he rails on about the "misuse" of the word "worship" - he is incorrect and could have simplified things by pointing out that one use of the word is a verb and another is an adjective, but he preferred to come across as a chastising and belittling second grade teacher.
Warren did show a sense of humor periodically, referring to Groucho Marx and "watching too much television". In the end, it's possible that he himself quoted the greatest reason to NOT read this book: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men." Last I checked, Warren was a man and his "roadmap" is just another re-tooling of "rules" taught by the men who lead any form of Christianity. I say keep your money and, if you really think God needs it, give it to your church, not Rick Warren. | | | | ATTENTION ALL HUMAN BEINGS Mar 21, 2007 |
| This is a must read before you reach your final destination. Do you KNOW where you're going? I DO! | | | | Direction Mar 17, 2007 |
| This is an excellent book for trying to find your way in the world. We all want to know why we are here and what we should be doing. The Purpose Driven Life provides a concrete roadmap for discerning your path. It has excellent questions that encourage you to take one real step at a time on that path. A must read! | | | | The Purpose-Driven Life Mar 13, 2007 |
| Pastor Warren has helped me to understand why I am alive and about God's amazing plan for us. In 40 days, his work has lifted and inspired me. A non-believer before reading this book, his work has shifted my life's goals and given me incredible peace and comfort. | | | Write your own review about Una vida con propósito
