jenjansen 's review for:

The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
3.0

So far my thoughts are that he has some good points but often uses out of context scripture to back himself up. I'm also not a fan of how he uses so many different translations; while I get his reasons for it, I think he pushes beyond those reasons and just uses the version he likes best to get his point across whether that was the intentional message of the text or not.
I get a general feeling of arrogance. It feels like he thinks people can't possibly be "good" Christians if they haven't read his book(s).
All the negativity aside, this book does motivate positive change to some level hence the 3 stars instead of 2.
