Another
Landmark Book by Rick Warren. You are not an accident. Even before the
universe was created, God had you in mind, and he planned you for his
purposes. These purposes will extend far beyond the few years you will
spend on earth. You were made to last forever! Self-help books often
suggest that you try to discover the meaning and purpose of your life by
looking within yourself, but Rick Warren says that is the wrong place
to start. You must begin with God, your Creator, and his reasons for
creating you. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand
that, life will never make sense. This book will help you understand
why you are alive and God's amazing plan for you---both here and now,
and for eternity. Rick Warren will guide you through a personal 40-day
spiritual journey that will transform your answer to life's most
important question: What on earth am I here for? Knowing God's purpose
for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify
your decisions, give meaning to your life, and, most importantly,
prepare you for eternity. The Purpose Driven Life is a blueprint for
Christian living in the 21st century---a lifestyle based on God's
eternal purposes, not cultural values. Using over 1,200 scriptural
quotes and references, it challenges the conventional definitions of
worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism. In the
tradition of Oswald Chambers, Rick Warren offers distilled wisdom on the
essence of what life is all about. This is a book of hope and challenge
that you will read and re-read, and it will be a classic treasured by
generations to come.
