LIFE PURPOSE BOOK TOPIC: PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE BY RICK WARREN

I was first introduced to this book at a time when I was in search of answers, directions and clarity of purpose. The book helped me tremendously. As they say, proof of the pudding is in the eating. This book will transform your life whether you are a Christian or not.

If you have ever wanted to grasp what God’s love, purpose and reason is for sending you here to planet earth and how to navigate your way, then this book is for you. I so declare.

This book has sold over 10 Million copies and I am happy to report that the author whom I have seen and heard personally gives well over 90% of the profits to charity…. how about that for starters?

Now Listen my dears this is how Rick warren puts it on the Purpose Driven Website: A ground breaking manifesto on the meaning of life.

The 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 five purposes for each of us:

* We were planned for God’s pleasure, so your first purpose is to offer real worship.
* We were formed for God’s family, so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship.
* We were created to become like Christ, so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship.
* We were shaped for serving God, so your fourth purpose is to practice real ministry.
* We were made for a mission, so your fifth purpose is to 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 campaigns.

Listen to this: I encourage you that though there are so many self help books out there that can address your questions and attempt to fill the God-sized hole in your life and tell you your purpose in life, none can break it down into 40 steps like this book does!

If you use this book in church or outside of church, God will meet you there, in order to show you the way to find your calling and birth your dreams in life so that you too, can make a difference.
