Rick Warren presents an essential manifesto for Christian living in the twenty-first century.

This book will help you understand why you are alive and God's amazing plan for you - both here and now, and for eternity.

Rick Warren will guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that will transform your answer to life's most important questions: What on earth am I here for? Knowing God's purpose for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give meaning to your life, and, most important, prepare you for eternity.

The Purpose-Driven Life is a blueprint for Christian living in the 21st century - a lifestyle based on God's eternal purposes, not cultural values. Using over 1,200 scriptural quotes and references, it challenges the conventional definitions of worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism. In the tradition of Oswald Chambers, Rick Warren offers distilled wisdom on the essence of what life is all about.
