I will begin and end this brief review the same way:

One of the WORST books I have EVER read in my life.

Pure drivel - how many times can he write glory to god, we worship and glorify god, we enjoy god, delight in god, etc. etc.

I've read books with a religious bent that I find very well written. Even though I am not religious, I respect how they feel and the philosophy they are sharing. This book is truly just nonsense. That first sentence I wrote - that's pretty much how the whole book reads. Completely unoriginal, uninspiring and if I felt on the fence about "God" before, well this author wants to make me run from even saying the word God. In fact it's almost like he had to qualify for a minimum word count w/a teacher in elementary school and peppered the book with the word God as many times as possible.

In summary, a purpose driven life, according to the author, is one where you worship, glorify and delight in God. Everything is God.

I was toying w/the idea of going to some services w/a friend but after having read this book, I can't stomach the thought of sitting in a room voluntarily with someone like him.

In closing as I began, one of the WORST books I have EVER read in my life.

Mostly scripture. I loved it !!!!

This book clarified what the Lord wants from my life. Using the Lord's own words the author is able to explain what the Lord is looking for in our life.

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.

Great book.

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.

Worth the read! Gets you thinking,!

I recommend this book to those beginning their journey with Christ. It is something that could be shared in a group study.

Excellent biblical book explaining your purpose here on earth.

I think that there are a lot of good nuggets in this book. Take what you can, use it in your life and try to become a better person.

Great book, really gave new perspective on living life as a Christian and what it means to belong to a church!

this book is one of my favorite,I learned so much from this book...i learned the purpose of God over my life, how God created me for his good plan and pleasure,its not an accident that he gave me my parents,my bros.& sisters and everything pertaining myself! what a mighty God we served,..He alone be praise!

A must have if you have The Purpose Driven Life.
