The most basic question everyone faces in
life is Why am I here?
What is my purpose?
Rick Warren says the starting place must be
with God and his eternal purposes for each
life.
Real meaning and significance comes from understanding
and fulfilling God's purposes for putting
us on earth.
Here are few interesting facts about The Purpose
Driven Life.
One.
The Purpose Driven Life is designed as a forty
day spiritual journey – one chapter a day
– with the goal of answering the question
“What on earth am I here for?”
The question is broad enough to address both
believer and unbeliever alike, which may in
part explain the width of its appeal.
Two.
Worship is not about what pleases us, but
about what makes God smile.
God smiles when we love, trust, obey, and
praise Him, and when we use our abilities
for His glory.
Since “God wants to be your best friend”,
Warren gives some practical suggestions for
developing that friendship through prayer,
meditation, honesty, and obedience.
Three.
We grow by making good decisions, by allowing
God to transform the way we think through
His Spirit and our repentance, by abiding
in God’s word, and by persevering through
trouble and temptation.
Ministry is our service to believers.
It is not an optional extra of the Christian
life, and it is in large part what gives our
lives meaning and significance.
We begin to understand how God means for us
to serve when we understand our SHAPE: our
Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality,
and Experience.
Written in a captivating devotional style,
the book is divided into 42 short chapters
(six weeks) that can be read as a daily.
