The Purpose Driven Life
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT! Even before the universe was created, God had you in mind, and he planned you for his purposes. These purposes will extend far beyond the few years you will spend on earth. You were made to last forever!
Self-help books often suggest that you try to discover the meaning and purpose of your life by looking within yourself, but Rick Warren says that is the wrong place to start. You must begin with God, your Creator, and his reasons for creating you. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
This book will help you understand why you are alive and God's amazing plan for you - both here and now, and for eternity. Rick Warren will guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that will transform your answer to life's most important question: What on earth am I here for? Knowing God's purposes for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give meaning to your life, and, most importantly, prepare you for eternity. The Purpose Driven® Life has transformed millions of lives around the world. It is a blueprint for living in the 21st century, using the time-tested wisdom of the Bible. It is a book of both hope and challenge that you'll read and re-read. It is already a classic in inspirational literature.
