If you would like to read the most popular book ever written, having sold 16,000,000 book in the last three years, a book that will give you lots to think about, try " A Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. I would really be interested in hearing what people that have read this book think. Thanks for bearing with me.

I've read it, BooBoo. The theme is wonderful, brilliant in fact, while the text is extreeeeeeeemely simple. The author uses three-part sentence structure and application to a fault. While very biblical and making good use of a multitude of bible translations and paraphrases, I found the use of the appendix frustrating, wishing each referenced verse's address was footnoted on the page in which it was used.

As God is wont to do, I found the Holy Spirit guiding me into the truths the author discusses prior to, during, and after each reading, to confirm the wisdom being shared. Despite the book's adolescent tone (the author's attempt, I can grant, to reach the widest audience possible) I enjoyed the teaching tremendously and have recommended the book to many.
