What he has to say isn't groundbreaking, but is Biblically sound and solid, and a good reminder for anyone whether just starting on their faith journey or following Christ for awhile, on what it means to live out a Christian life. In living for your purposes, you’ll start to find meaning in every moment of your life. Well, that's still fairly true (though he quotes from a lot of different versions and the Message was just one of them), but I actually enjoyed reading and found a lot of his points personally challenging and applicable. In The Purpose Driven Life, Pastor Rick Warren reveals the meaning of life from a Christian perspectivefive purposes that you were created by God to fulfill: worship, unselfish fellowship, spiritual maturity, your ministry, and your mission. I couldn't remember if I'd only read parts of it or the whole thing, and all I really remembered was that his narrative voice was far too excited for my taste and that he quoted from the Message a lot. Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren pens this forty-day devotional designed to introduce the five purposes of your life: worship God, fellowship with other believers, become more like Jesus, serve others in the church, and share the gospel with others.My church used this years ago for a church-wide campaign of reading it together and having several sermons in a row tied into it.
