Simply put!

I recommend ‘The Purpose Driven Life’ to all of my colleagues. It is easy to read and comprehend. Often when reading various scriptures, we encounter difficulty grasping the actual meaning. This book provides a thorough explanation.

what on earth am I here for by Richard Warren: not self-focus not about me, by God for God, a plan for God is love, regrets/memories/past anger/bitterness fear/poor expectations materialism important to others, faith hope love, aimless distraction, purpose creates passion live each day as last day, spiritual green card, glory to creator not fallen angels and humans, worship Creator or things, surrender to Christ or chaos, love as choices via community and relationships, bitter or better, temptations is opposed to do good, no growth without change, character is habits, maybe the only Christian met, what is your mission JC, be a witness share story.

Have this book.

a great work; we did this as a SS class at NFUMC in Norcross, GA

Doesn't everyone at some point wonder "What on Earth am I here for?" Rick Warren's books helps me make sense of my life. I lent this book to someone and did not get it back so I bought another.

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!!!

this book God use to show His love to all of us, He want change our lives on right path according to his purpose. :D

I followed Rick Warren's instructions and read one chapter per day to savor all the learnings and messages in this book. A lot of them confirmed the beliefs that I already have on the reason why we are here in this world and why some things do not go according to our plan.

"Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

Still, there were a lot more new insights that I learned which deepened my faith in God and His purpose for my life.

Anytime you feel you are not learning anything from a sermon or a Bible teacher, you should check your attitude, especially for pride, because God can speak through even the most boring teacher when you are humble and receptive.

This passage struck me because I often felt sad about not seeming to learn anything from a sermon because the priest was too boring.

We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven. At the end of your life on earth you will stand before God, and he is going to evaluate how well you served others with your life.

If you want to keep growing, the best way to learn more is to pass on what you have already learned. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped. Anyone who knows the right thing to do but does not do it is sinning. Knowledge increases responsibility. But passing along the purpose of life is more than obligation; it's one of life's greatest privileges.

Some people sometimes mock me for reading and posting about such spiritual things and even relating it with the holy use of money. These are the people whom I need to reach out to. I pray that they, too, will realize that their purpose here is not to serve their own self-interest but to serve God by serving others.

A Must Read

Loved this book. If you are looking for more meaning in your life, read this book! The Scripture quotes are wonderful.

40 Days with Rick Warren was a transformational experience for me. This is the second time that I read the book. Perhaps it was the drastic change in our society since my first reading in 2002 and my uncomfortable reaction to a world that has turned violent and Godless. Warren's deep spiritual knowledge and his understanding of human nature have given me hope; not with a nation so thoroughly divided, but with a deep appreciation of life.
