perilous1 's review for:
The Purpose Driven Life
by Rick Warren
In essence, a guidebook for Christianity. Isn't that what the Bible is for, you may ask? Why, yes. Consider this one of the many possibly-helpful companions to the primary text. Basic instructions pulled from the...well...basic instructions. It may do it for you, it may not.
For many, this book may be a good reminder. Insightful and potentially perspective-altering for those who consider themselves to be Christians, but aren't satisfied with merely having secured their 'fire insurance'.
The re-read value is exceptional. (Just as with many books, what you derive from it may change depending on the phase of life you're in.) I've heard it categorized as a Christian self-help book, but in actuality it is a God-help book. It suggests from the get-go that you spare yourself the frustration of looking within yourself for all of your answers. Instead, you're challenged to consider how differently you may prioritize your life if you were to focus on what holds eternal value, rather than temporary gratification. And most importantly it stresses that your personal relationship with God be dynamic and continually developing, while offering you practical tools for accomplishing this.
