Good simple refresher G for the original book. Contains just the main points and all scripture from it in daily chunks

By committing to 40 days of diligence in reading this book and applying the lessons to my heart I felt the discipline of diligence spill over into every facet of my life.

I received this book as a graduation gift from my high school Sunday School teacher. I'm just now taking the time to committ to this 40 day devotional. From what I have read so far, I really enjoy it. It makes you think outside your comfort zone about what plans God has for your life and really makes you place your focus on God instead of the world around you. This book allows you to focus on the bigger picture and helps you seek the ultimate questions of life such as "Why am I here?" The theme of the book is summed up quite nicely in the title. The search of your purpose in life and the desire to be driven by it.

When I read this book years ago, I was amazed because 8:28 is my favorite and this entire book is about PURPOSE!

Still reading. Love Rick Warren! Practical and direct interpretation of scripture

Inspiring & insightful. It will change your life for the better. It is a must read. I enjoyed every word. Simply awesome! Love it & still read it over & over getting something new out of it each time. it is magnificent!!!

I began reading THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE the day after Christmas. Then I later added PDL Reflection book. It is great to have the Scriptures and main point of each section in one place. Quick references to easily locate. I plan to re-read PDL starting tomorrow, even though I just finished Day 42 today.

Gray read

This is not a normal book that one sets down to read. It is not meant to be read at all in fact, rather, to be reflected upon. Extracts from the Bible point one into the direction of living life purposely. So, there, boom, from the word start, that is the raison d'etre of this book: That life has a purpose. The book then leads you to how you can do this, why it is worth doing this according to the Word of God. If you are a nihilistic atheist, this is not for you. If you are an open minded atheist not completely or overwhelmingly convinced that life has no meaning then this might just save you. If on the other hand you are in God and a chIld of God then there is such a wealth of material, you would need to pray very seriously to the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus to reveal to you as much as you can possibly handle. The approach is very refreshing and to those who think that God and religion are synonymous, they should think again.

a good reminder... I never followed the whole 40 day program but just reading it makes you stop and wonder if what you are doing day to day is in line with what you stand for.
