Many churches are using Warren's work in place of the Bible - I've seen it's destruction first-hand.
I stink at making links clickable - but here are the URL's
Yes, and the Bible has been used, or more accurately misused over the centuries to cause first-hand destruction.
Regardless of one's opinion of Warren and the PDL, the point of this story remains that the book was used for good.
In that we should rejoice.
FWIW if you use no html in your post (just type it), the software will automatically make the URL a link.
I went to the links. It appears the first link seems full of criticism without much in the way of scriptural back up. It looks to be circular in its attemtpt to make a point. The second appears to be more clear in its attempt to point out the authors problems. Even that author is quick not to discredit the whole book and in fact is almost encouraging the reading of it. Some of the arguments appear to be splitting of hairs. The example of Warren's use of the word "driven" seems to be much about nothing. There are some other points brought out that likely need clarification by Warren as to his intent in the book. However, the book in general is worded in a soft manner and there are many who prefer a hard edeged presentation on mans reason for being. In addition, we're all here to do one thing, but how we go about doing it could be vastly different. I think that's what Warren is trying to get to. He is giving the keys for a person to through prayer, study and thought find the ideal way to be of service to God and his kingdom.
I'm curious. How do you know this? Frankly, I'm skeptical.
