Rick Warren – The Purpose Driven Life

Jan 10, 2004

1 min read

I recently completed a critical (by which I mean in-depth) study of Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life. I went through each chapter of the book not only reading what he had to say but also looking up each and every Biblical proof-text he used (more than 1200 in all), paying special attention to his use of the Bible (since that is the greatest criticism of his detractors). You can trace my journey below.

Book Review – Rick Warren and the Purpose that Drives Him

Since Rick Warren’s rise to prominence, and especially since the release of The Purpose Driven Life, a lot of criticism has been levelled at the man, his ministry and his books. Some of this has been valid, fair and even necessary. As we would expect, some has been irrational, spiteful and borne of ignorance. When…

Purposeful Interference

Time Magazine recently listed the “The 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America.” Predictably, topping that list was Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Community Church in Saddleback Valley, California, and author of the bestseller, The Purpose Driven Life.

Would You Attend Your Son’s Execution?

I have never known a mother whose son was executed, much less a mother whose son was executed despite being provably innocent. Though I can’t ask, I have sometimes wondered: Is it typical for a mother to attend her son’s execution?

Amazon’s annual Prime Day deals are here, and for those of us who use Amazon anyway, it’s a time to get some deals. You’ll find items on sale across all categories. Of course, my interest is in books and, thankfully, there are lots of great deals to be had (in printed, not Kindle editions).

You have probably heard of Davy and Natalie Lloyd, even if the names aren’t immediately familiar.
