Publisher's summary

Discover and fulfill your God-given purpose by joining the more than 35 million others who have embarked on a spiritual journey that started with this number one New York Times best-selling book by Pastor Rick Warren.

Before you were born, God knew what your life had in store for you. His hope for you is to discover the life he created just for you - both here on Earth, and forever in eternity. Let Rick Warren guide you as you learn to live out your true purpose.

The Purpose Driven Life is more than a book; it's a road map for your spiritual journey. Combining thoughtful verses from scripture with timely stories and perspectives from Warren's own life, The Purpose Driven Life will help you discover the answer to one of life's most important questions: What on Earth am I here for?

Throughout The Purpose Driven Life, Warren will teach you to spend time getting to know yourself and your creator in order to live your life to the fullest. Unlocking your true purpose will also reduce your stress, simplify your decisions, increase your satisfaction, and, most importantly, prepare you for eternity.

Designed to be listened over the course of 42 days, The Purpose Driven Life will help you see the big picture, giving you a fresh perspective on the way that the pieces of your life fit together. Every section of The Purpose Driven Life provides a daily meditation and practical steps to help you uncover and live out your purpose, starting with exploring three essential questions:

• 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.

Answers THAT question you always wanted to ask!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It IS very much based on the Bible, but then, if you are looking at this book, you know Rick is a Pastor. As someone that had bad experiences in several churches growing up, and not a fan of God's "fan clubs" (what I call organized religious groups) - I REALLY enjoy Rick's books, podcasts and overall style. Even if you are not a believer in God, there are so many things in this book that are worth hearing and learning. We have to live with 7 billion others on this planet - there are so many gems in this book that are helpful to any human being.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Purpose Driven Life?

Too many to list....I am listening to it again in fact....

What about Rick Warren’s performance did you like?

I just LOVE his story-telling style - I think that is my favorite part - he makes learning FUN! He is humorous and down-to-earth. He's the kind of guy you would wanna sit on the porch with a drink a glass of iced tea. Not at all a typical "preacher."

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Purpose Driven Life?

Gosh, way too many to list. Way too many. So many good quotes (not just biblical either) and so many good insights based on common sense...I think that it made me see that life s worth living...which I didn't think it was before.

Any additional comments?

Give it a listen! Well worth your time!

Very good book.

Overall I think this is a great book that puts a lot in perspective for the ones that believe in God! Some things could be challenged with scripture and revelation or I would like to get a better understanding myself but it's definitely worth it. Long but easy to follow for the most part. It will definitely make you evaluate what I'm truly here for and I'm I taking the necessary steps to get there as well as following God while I do it.

Excellent read!

This book explained a lot of valuable information, that would help you move forward in your life and help others.

Power- packed and life changing

This book is full of wisdom and actionable steps to better your life and get on the purpose driven life path! Be prepared for a mental and spiritual shift! I listened to the audio version but honestly, this is a book I feel requires the physical paper version. I’ll be ordering it soon to take notes and reflect to get more. It’s a must read!
