Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-23 00:00:00 Greg Fisher Simply put....there is no worldly method to achieving a closer walk with God. It will take time reading God's Word and praying. There is no short-cut to spirituality. The Purpose Driven Life and other similar series attempt to provide a short-cut and may encourage new believers to think that once they have achieved the twelve steps they can cease striving after God. I gave up on this book half way through and threw it away as I felt as if it was a deception. I have since read many concerning things about the author and his links with ecumenism and new-age....I'm not surprised this book was and is a best seller as it provides an easy Christianity and broad is the road that leads to destruction. I am concerned that some churches are abandoning Bibles for their studies and studying this book instead. Any book that causes people to take their eyes off God and onto a man made method is a danger. Challies expresses my concerns clearly in this post I don't recommend this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-03-09 00:00:00 George Jungle At its best, this book is filled with porous theology that is modestly helpful to someone who has no knowledge of Christianity whatsoever. At its worst, Warren mangles scripture to fit his own agenda (40 days to find purpose in your life) and promotes personal experience over the truth found in scripture. This book is symptomatic of feel-good consumerized Christianity so prevalent in America today. Finding your purpose in life takes far longer than 40 days and it cannot be easily summarized (besides the obvious - to love and worship God). "The Purpose Driven Life" offers nothing new and while not quite heretical, it is very unsound and I cannot recommend this book to anyone. The fact that Warren makes references to the other "Purpose Driven"-branded items in his book that one can purchase pretty much sums it up. I was given a free copy of this book by a friend at my church a few years ago. I finished reading the book simply to say that I had read it in its entirety. If you want good, thoughtful Christian writers, check out - Links (for the lazy): J.I. Packer ("Knowing God") [] Augustine of Hippo ("Confessions" translated by F.J. Sheed, "City of God") [] C.S. Lewis ("Mere Christianity" "The Screwtape Letters" "The Problem of Pain") [] G.K. Chesterson ("Orthodoxy" "The Everlasting Man") [] John Piper [] Ravi Zacharias [] A.W. Pink [] A.W. Tozer (no relations haha) [] I spent way too much time on this. Hope it helps.
