It makes sense....
I thought I have been a Christian all my life, now I really know what it means to be one. If you only read one book in your life, let it be this one. The words from the Bible make more sense then ever and it just makes you feel great about life. more

The Purpose-Driven Profits Life
A year ago, I picked up a copy of this book from a bookstand because of the subtitle "What on earth am I here for?" that always intrigues my curiosity about a life's purpose. Especially when there're over 6 million copies sold, on #1 New York Times Bestseller,... more

Buyer Beware, They Want Your Money; Not Your Soul
This book seduces one into the conundrum of tithing. Everytime I feel like becoming "born again" I always think of the "catch". The catch is is Warren is a salesman and the ultimate sacrifice is your money. On Larry King he claims to be a "reverse... more

Fine book, except...
Although this is in many ways an inspiring book and I am sympathetic to Rev. Warren's program, I have one problem with it--which is that so much of the evidence seems to show that in fact God does not have a special purpose for everybody. Contrary to... more

Rick Warren and Other Leaders Promoting New Age
In what appears to be a sweeping phenomenon, Rick Warren and other Christian leaders are embracing practices and a new spirituality that borrows from Eastern mysticism and New Age philosophy. The changes are taking place worldwide and involve many of... more

It was a good read.
I thought the book was good. Reading the book I realized that everything happens for a reason. I have to say that I read the book that Amber Fry wrote and she spoke of this book many times throughout her own book. I can not say that I am a fan of Amber,... more

lack of holy spirit makes me queasy
The lack of reference to actual Scripture and the lack of reference to the Holy SPirit makes me queasy. This book is indeed a fad.

Typical
Inspirational is the most popular book genre in America. This is just another attempt by yet another person who thinks they talk with God to capitalize on a person's vulnerability. This author received a big boon when the Georgia woman read from his book... more

Very helpful
This book by Rick Warren is very good, because it tells us how to follow God's word. He tells us that God should be the driving force behind our lives, and that we are living on Earth because God lets us live here temporarily. It also describes how we... more

Marketing to the masses
As a Christian: The focus of this book is too restricting and potentially counterproductive. Our personal and spiritual relationship with God, and our trust in him, should outweigh discovering our "purpose" in life. For some, focusing on finding a purpose... more

It's about the love, grace, & mercy of Jesus
Just a great book taking us back to the most important aspect of why we are here-- according to Jesus (paraphrased):
"All the law and prophets hang on this-- Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And the second is... more

Was hoping for something more inspirational...
I read this book as part of a Lenten Bible study in my church. I was excited to read it because I had heard so many good things about it, and many reviews claimed that it was life-changing and profound. But in reality, it didn't inspire me or hold... more

What do you expect...parent co. publishes Satanic bible.
I've read part of the book and some of the reviews on here. There's a lot of fluff in this book and its basically one of Zondervan's (publisher) and Warren's schemes to fill their pockets with cash. Loose scripture references are not surprising since... more

Be afraid.... Be very afraid....
I was given this book as a Christmas present, and though I do believe in faith and consider myself to be a spiritual person, I couldn't make it thru the first few chapters of this book. I found many parts of it offensive. Particularly passages suggesting... more

Oh my God!
Like some of the other reviewers I have read books about life's purpose. Edward Cayce, Nietche, Sylvia Browne and the series of books "Conversations with God" I was looking forward to more of this personal relationship with God material. What I got... more

Modern approach of Christianity
One of the most important factors in moving on with your driven life is to forgive yourself and the others who have offended. I discovered that in Purpose driven life and has helped me more than anyother part of the book, but it is all right on target... more

What's the big deal?
I read a third of this book. Got bored. Put it down.

There's nothing unique or new in his message and the book is redundant.

Good Christian books are:

The Life Application Bible - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. more

It IS about YOU, because YOU ARE GOD!
In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus' saying #3 says "Don't believe those who tell you 'God is in the heavens', or 'God is in the temple'. Know rather that God is within you, and without you."
No wonder Iraneus supressed this (and many other)documents... more

So what is the pupose?
All I ever see from christians is rabid hatred, intolerance, and opposition to those who do not believe EXACTLY as they do. Put this down and pick up some Shakespeare. You'll be smarter for it in the end.

In response to the dalry lama
I found your review incredibly refreshing. You are right when you say that if used correctly, free speech can help sort the truth from lies. The truth is that people such as yourself are full of nothing but hateful lies. In regard to the rapist, murderer... more
