• The question of existence: Why am I alive?
• The question of significance: Does my life matter?
• The question of purpose: What on Earth am I here for?

Each copy of The Purpose Driven Life also includes thoughtful discussion questions, audio Bible studies that go along with every section and access to a supportive online community, giving you the opportunity to dive even deeper into each life-changing lesson.

Purpose Driven / Perfect Title

This is timeless.. Read, Listen, share and repeat.. Rick has packaged wisdom for us in a very digestible format.

Life Changing

This book has given me new energy to live my life for Jesus and the encouragement to share the good news.

I want to serve

This has been a very inspirational recording for me to listen to on my daily motivational worship walks.

Great points but hard to stay plugged in

I found it difficult to stay engaged during portions of the book, and took a break in listening to it because it didn't keep me drawn in. Author occasionally becomes emotional, which was distracting. But he has a lot of great points & a good overall thesis.

Enjoyed it.

Overall. I did enjoy listening to it. I can't say that anything really grabbed me, though. I finished just a week ago and can't seem to remember anything it spoke about. now, that could just be me and I am planning on listening to it again.

Excellent Resource

This book has reiterated what my purpose in life is, and I would highly recommend it to others, who are searching for their purpose with God and their daily life, and in making/reaching goals and dreams.
I look forward to reading this book again in a few years!

Loved

Easy to listen to; helpful to take to heart and apply. Jesus is King always!

Eye Opening for me

What made the experience of listening to The Purpose Driven Life the most enjoyable?

I went into this book based on a recommendation from a friend so I was unsure what to expect. I'm a Christian in every sense of the word and I wanted to find a way to better live my life. After listening to this book my eyes are as the title of my review suggests: Wide open. So many questions I've had were answered and by listening I realized that while I strive to be a good person, I do fall very far from hitting the perfect mark.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rick does a great job of talking to you and not preaching to you. I think if you have someone telling you what you should do, how you should do it, and then back it all up with Scripture really goes a long way at helping people understand why something should be done. For me it was tithing. My parents did, I know lots of other people who do it, but I never really saw the reason to struggle even more financially by tithing. How wrong I have been.

What about Rick Warren’s performance did you like?

He has a nice tone and very easy to listen to.

What did you learn from The Purpose Driven Life that you would use in your daily life?

I think the big take away for me is knowing that even though I may not be perfect, I'm not really expected to be. I've learned that worship is very different from what I was taught worship was.

5 Purposes for every person in life

This lays out 5 in detail purposes that every individual was put on this earth for. This 40 day challenge will enhance and build your faith and as you put these purposes into practice you will begin to reap the rewards of what you are sowing. I strongly recommend this for any pastor or leader involved with ministry.

perfect for busy people!

I loved listening to this everyday while I did my morning routine.
Amazing relevant messages each day. I am so happy I found this on audible . I will probably listen to this again in the future .
