The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
5.0
Here's another one I've wanted to read for YEARS and never got around to actually purchasing it until I found it at a local thrift shop. And what a wonderful book!
This is the first book besides the Bible that I actually let myself highlight in, and I appreciated that it was formatted to be a study; broken up into forty sections and intended to be read over a forty-day period to allow for contemplation and putting what you learn from each section into action in your life. (I got off-track for a little while, which is why it took me longer than forty days, haha). Every section left me feeling inspired, whether it was reminding me of truths I already knew and had forgotten, or piercing my heart with truths I'd never thought of before. I had a lot of breakthroughs reading this book, and will definitely be rereading it in the years to come.
I'd definitely recommend this book as a comprehensive, helpful, and inspiring guide dealing with many of the issues Christians struggle with today. It helped me be reminded of where my hope and purpose lie, and to renew my perspective to align with Christ's. There's nothing as important as living the way God intends us to.
