I am not a Christian but I know a phony when I see one, and Rick Warren is definitely a phony.

"Available at fine garage sales everywhere."
"142 used, from $2"

For a real deal, Meditations on the Purpose Driven Life, "92 used from $.01"

Rick Warren preaches a works driven salvation - hence the “Purpose Driven Life”. Good deeds are supposed to magically transform you into a Christian. It doesn't work that way. You must accept Christ as your personal Savior. It is the Holy Spirit that then guides you and His teachings provide you the wisdom you need to live properly. Warren has basically selectively rewritten Scripture to accommodate this spiritual chicanery.

You cannot attain eternal life, as a Christian without BELIEF. Warren skips that and just emphasizes works - like sharing your crack with a fellow criminal is a good thing. Eternal life is not about GOOD WORKS. It is about FAITH, John 3:16. If belief isn't there, you don't have eternal life no mater how many good works you do. It's all about the heart.

Hanging out with Obama and pushing abortion with him is a good thing - according to Warren followers. Warren is so full of hypocrisy. H makes his money selling that sloop.

What Warren is doing is exploiting the void in people's lives with a “purpose” but belief in not emphasized. He offers nothing of eternal value. He's a fraud and rakes in the money for people FEELING BETTER about themselves for good deeds. Warren is a disgrace.
