I loved this book。 I want to relisten to it again and again！ Took so many great things away from this and I am sure when I listen again I will pick up new things。 Helped me think about all sorts of religious topics in new ways， like what is devotion， and how do we worship。 And how do I live to glorify and worship god？

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 First book recommended by my bestfriend。 A Christian teaching related book that somehow helped me during my tough time， I even made a journal because of it。

Not sure on how should I feel to admit that I really read it 40 days straight。 Each day， each chapter。 It's like an everyday task of mine that I should do。 Which didn't bother me because I like doing something usual。 The book is like you know， 1/4 of it is the really words of the author and the 3/4 are almost all Bible verses。 It taught me some things though， but I'm kind of disappointed on that 'Servant' or 'Serving' terms。 It's unfairly about not caring about yourself anymore。 Anyway some line Not sure on how should I feel to admit that I really read it 40 days straight。 Each day， each chapter。 It's like an everyday task of mine that I should do。 Which didn't bother me because I like doing something usual。 The book is like you know， 1/4 of it is the really words of the author and the 3/4 are almost all Bible verses。 It taught me some things though， but I'm kind of disappointed on that 'Servant' or 'Serving' terms。 It's unfairly about not caring about yourself anymore。 Anyway some lines also hit me hard。 Some did dismay me。 I also saw that part when the author， （Rick Warren） with her wife lost a child from a suicide。 That must've been hurt。 Strong faith do holds your life。 Most of the people I saw who reviewed this gave it a star。 And that made me thinking of my attempted four star reviews （or even 5/5） But turns out not， and I'm giving a big credit to the person who let me borrow this book。 To my uncle and auntie。 Thank you so much！ I hope I'll be able to give it back since pandemic is still on。 Overall， so-so。 God bless everyone ！ :） 。。。more

It's quite helpful to seek our more specific purpose through the 5 lenses provided by Rick。 It might drive you to be a better person every day， not only focusing on the vertical relationship to God but also on the horizontal relations between each other。 It's quite helpful to seek our more specific purpose through the 5 lenses provided by Rick。 It might drive you to be a better person every day， not only focusing on the vertical relationship to God but also on the horizontal relations between each other。 。。。more

This devotional is fully loaded。 I’ve never read a devotional with more resources located in one place。 From QR code’s to scan for every day， to email subscriptions， and even further discussion questions in the back， this book is a great book of wisdom to have on your shelf。 The knowledge in each chapter folds in and expands on itself， and builds in the end an overall amazing， convicting， and spiritually rich book。 Rick Warren has made an astounding devotional that feels like the perfect length， This devotional is fully loaded。 I’ve never read a devotional with more resources located in one place。 From QR code’s to scan for every day， to email subscriptions， and even further discussion questions in the back， this book is a great book of wisdom to have on your shelf。 The knowledge in each chapter folds in and expands on itself， and builds in the end an overall amazing， convicting， and spiritually rich book。 Rick Warren has made an astounding devotional that feels like the perfect length， and demonstrates a monstrous depth， both of which make this book easy to read and reread in full assurance that you will continue to experience growth in your relationship with Christ and refocus you on living a life full of purpose。 。。。more

Good foundational readThis book is a good foundational Christian read based on building your relationship with Christ。 The links to supplemental audio recordings are insightful reinforcements of the chapters。

This is a watered down version of the Gospel that borders on health， wealth， and prosperity。 The theology is sketchy at best sprinkled with some very heretical moments。 Don’t waste your time。

A soothing journey。 Christianity， theology as a sub-branch of philosophy， knowledge-wise， is an iterative journey to be questioned， I think。 Faith is such a critical topic specifically in our chaotic 21st century！

I think very highly of this book！！ It was a big life-changer in my thinking。 Beware， it could bring revival to your souls。 Take time to read and figure out where you are at in your spiritual growth as Rick Warren helps and directs you to God's word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit。It's been years and years since reading this book， but it is still valid for today。 It is one of those "good books" that Charles H。 Spurgeon said， "There are many good books but dwell in the Bible。" I do believe tha I think very highly of this book！！ It was a big life-changer in my thinking。 Beware， it could bring revival to your souls。 Take time to read and figure out where you are at in your spiritual growth as Rick Warren helps and directs you to God's word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit。It's been years and years since reading this book， but it is still valid for today。 It is one of those "good books" that Charles H。 Spurgeon said， "There are many good books but dwell in the Bible。" I do believe that the "good books" will turn our hearts to The Good Book， the Bible and to its Author and therein we can dwell most。Eunice C。 。。。more

For this book I would really say 3。5 stars。 For Christian books I usually reserve 5 stars for what I would consider “life changing”。 While A Purpose Driven Life was not life changing， I definitely found some helpful things in the book。 The book has practical advice that is relatively easy to incorporate into your daily life。 There were a few parts that I disagreed on， but for any book with theology in it someone is bound to disagree with something the author has written。 I also feel like the aut For this book I would really say 3。5 stars。 For Christian books I usually reserve 5 stars for what I would consider “life changing”。 While A Purpose Driven Life was not life changing， I definitely found some helpful things in the book。 The book has practical advice that is relatively easy to incorporate into your daily life。 There were a few parts that I disagreed on， but for any book with theology in it someone is bound to disagree with something the author has written。 I also feel like the author plugged his other book to the point where it felt like I was being marketed to the whole time while I was reading the book。 Again， it was a good book， just not something I’d consider great。 。。。more

Read this a few years back was SO practical and useful。 I need to re-read it again （it's definitely one of those books you go back to）Would recommend to anyone questioning what their purpose is。 Read this a few years back was SO practical and useful。 I need to re-read it again （it's definitely one of those books you go back to）Would recommend to anyone questioning what their purpose is。 。。。more

Este libro es una carga positiva para el alma。 A pesar de que no seguí las indicaciones de leer un capítulo por día， si deja un efecto positivo en mi forma de ver la vida y mis circunstancias， te ayuda a crecer espiritualmente y es la guía perfecta para introducirte en la biblia día a día。

Como todo， se puede agarrar lo bueno y desechar lo malo， pero podría volverse confuso para los nuevos Creyentes。 Según este libro， la única meta en la vida es estar siempre humillando y alabando a este Dios， （bien） pero sentí una especie de esclavitud y tiranía; como que el propósito de la vida no es aprender， ni enseñar o incluso simplemente disfrutar la vida， sino OBEDECER a Dios。 No me malinterpreten， es verdad que no nos pertenecemos， pero de ahí a vivir de una forma legalista hay mucha dife Como todo， se puede agarrar lo bueno y desechar lo malo， pero podría volverse confuso para los nuevos Creyentes。 Según este libro， la única meta en la vida es estar siempre humillando y alabando a este Dios， （bien） pero sentí una especie de esclavitud y tiranía; como que el propósito de la vida no es aprender， ni enseñar o incluso simplemente disfrutar la vida， sino OBEDECER a Dios。 No me malinterpreten， es verdad que no nos pertenecemos， pero de ahí a vivir de una forma legalista hay mucha diferencia。 - R。C。 SPROUL expresa que; esa es una forma de legalismo， donde uno meramente se preocupa por mantener la ley de Dios como si fuera ese el único fin。 No hay amor， gozo， vida， o pasión。 En fin， una rutina。Incluso el autor menciona que no necesitamos un estudio bíblico más， ni leer libros para mejorar nuestra calidad de vida， porque no fuimos creado para eso… parece “bueno”， pero si no conozco más al señor o no me intereso en aprender， no me daré cuenta de mi necesidad de Él cada día。 Y el propósito es yo quiera comprender el carácter y el propósito de Jesús para enriquecer mi vida y mi relación con Él， de tal manera que， mi amor por Él sea cada vez mayor。Y si me instruyo de libros que me ayuden a mejorar mi vida， podré servir a Dios y a otros de una mejor manera。 （todo lo que no sea pecaminoso， es bueno si está correctamente motivado por el amor a Dios y a los demás）。 Hay muchas cosas que podría destacar del libro， pero no voy entrar en detalles， solo diré que no comparto su teología。Debemos arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados y confiar en Cristo - amar a Dios con todo nuestro corazón， mente， alma y fuerzas - y amar a nuestro prójimo como a nosotros mismos y predicar el evangelio a todos （familiares， amigos， vecinos， compañeros de trabajo）。 Ese es nuestro propósito， simple y llanamente。 。。。more

Need transformation then read this book This book deserves this rating ， I never read any book from first to last in my entire life :） even my school books :） ， currently I am reading the Bible in parallel and will be finishing reading all the chapters soon。 So first book to complete is Rick's book。 This book is not a book ， ever heard people telling often in a company explaining the process how it works and they keep on referring to the term " This is the Bible " ， so read it and get familiar 。 Need transformation then read this book This book deserves this rating ， I never read any book from first to last in my entire life :） even my school books :） ， currently I am reading the Bible in parallel and will be finishing reading all the chapters soon。 So first book to complete is Rick's book。 This book is not a book ， ever heard people telling often in a company explaining the process how it works and they keep on referring to the term " This is the Bible " ， so read it and get familiar 。 So I would say this book is the Bible for a meaningful purpose driven Life。 I have to read it again as this book gives lot of questions ， thoughts ， especially the difference between World class Christians vs Godly Christians are really explained clearly。 I heartfully thank Rick for this book and I strongly believe many would have got benefitted from this book and getting transformed themselves for rest of their life。 Once you read this book then if you read other books then you feel like it is duplicated or you can find out the real difference between this books。 May God bless Pastor Rick and his ministries。 。。。more
