The Purpose Driven
Life Rick Warren
The Purpose Driven Life This is a self help book to help you discover the meaning and purpose of your own life, by looking within yourself. Rick Warren states that the journey must begin with God, our Creator, and His reasons for creating you. Warren believes that we all are created by God and for God, and until we understand that, our lives will never make sense. This book will help you understand why you are alive and God’s amazing plan for you, both now and in eternal life. This book helps guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that will transform your answer to life’s most important question: What on earth am I here for? Knowing God’s purpose for creating each of us can help simplify decisions, focus our energy, give meaning and importance to life. It can help you prepare for eternity. Overall, this book is a blueprint for Christian living in the 21st century-a lifestyle based on eternal purposes, not cultural values. This book contains over 1,200 scriptural quotes and references. It is a book of hope and daily challenges. Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. He has sold over 1 million copies of this book in 20 languages.
