About this item

Discover and fulfill your God-given purpose by joining the more than thirty-five million others who have embarked on a spiritual journey that started with this #1 New York Times bestselling 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 to over the course of forty-two 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 chapter 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 chapter, and access to a supportive online community, giving you the opportunity to dive even deeper into each life-changing lesson.

Very insightful and easy to follow

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2024

I highly recommend this read. My wife and I followed the 40 day plan. I am re-reading the entire book as a detailed study now. There is a very good reason why this self help Christian book is a best seller. The author focuses on our relationship with God and helps the reader to understand God's purposes for our lives. I found every chapter captivating and inspirational. The book is evangelical and takes difficult to follow biblical concepts more understandable.

Explains God and life simply and clearly. A critical guide to the Bible and living life.

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2020

I first read this book in 2007. I still consider it the greatest, simplest guide to living for God ever written. The Bible is God's word. But it's good to have a guide that summarizes and helps us understand the Bible, and how we best live by it.

I have the book as well as the audiobook. The audiobook is amazing, I highly recommend it. I've gone through it over 50 times. Because I constantly need to remind myself it's about God, not me, and I need to align my thoughts with His. It also comforts me in a stressful world full of disappointment, darkness, and confusion.

Part of the reason this book has sold 60+million copies is that it explains how our lives are given to us by God for God’s purposes, and until we realize that, our lives won’t make much sense, or bring us much fulfillment. It explains how God is the thread that pulls it all together. It explains clearly, simply, and without pretense. There's no air of spiritual superiority, or shaming unbelieving ways. It's simply life's greatest messages spoken humbly and directly. Rick is a regular person, who simply knows God's word and ways, and shares it with everyone.

Our purpose is to treat others as ourselves and do acts of charity, be honorable, be the answer to people’s needs and prayers, and show that God is good and real. God answers prayers that are in line with His purposes, such as helping others rather than just helping ourselves. With this, God gives us thousands of scriptures and points of wisdom and understanding to guide, inspire, and grow us into what He wants us to be. Doing this, we gain many blessings in this life and store up treasure for the next.

This book is such a joy. It’s written so simply, anyone can understand it. Sometimes we struggle to to understand God, but this book explains God and life itself like none I’ve ever seen. It takes away our fear and reluctance to figure out God and the Bible on our own. We can DO this. We don’t have to be perfect to do this. The fist step is understanding what all this is and how it works. Then we can begin living with God on our side, knowing His perspectives. It takes some adjustments, but it’s like cheating in the test of life. God gives us the answers!

Highly, highly recommended! We've tried everything else. Now we need to truly pursue God and His ways. He will not let us down. It's a shame we can live for decades, even going to church, and not really understand God. This book will change that. Jump right in as you are! You don't have to be perfect to invite God into your life and trust Him to make things better.

Great guidance

I liked the overall tone of the book. I read this book as part of a group Bible study, so interacting with each chapter was great because we were able to have accountability partners and hear how others were applying these chapters in their daily lives. I highly recommend diving into this book as part of a small group Bible study.

Great book if you really are seeking God's will for your life

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2024

I have been in anguish over the last 3 years and only God has strengthened me through his servants from different churches. Rick Warren or Rev. Rick (just joking ????) daily hope played a key role in my life since the beginning of this year, 2024.

This book plus the audio guide plus the daily hope teachings that started a spark in my life. Rick and his team at SaddleBack church are excellent servants and witnesses to Christ and his plans for us here.

I strongly recommend this book for and one who is seeking God's will for their life and who wants to know God.

God bless pastor Rick Warren and his family and ministries.

Purpose Discipline Fellowship Ministry

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024

Rick Warren's "The Purpose Driven Life" is a spiritual guide that encourages readers to explore their purpose in life from a Christian perspective. The book is divided into 40 short chapters, each designed to be read over a span of 40 days, allowing readers to reflect deeply on each topic.

One of the strengths of the book is its clarity and simplicity in presenting profound spiritual truths. Warren emphasizes that everyone has a purpose in life, which is ultimately found in a personal relationship with God. He outlines five key purposes: worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and mission, providing a structured framework for readers to understand and fulfill their God-given purposes.

Warren's writing is both practical and inspirational, offering practical advice on how to live a purpose-driven life amidst life's challenges and distractions. He addresses common questions about identity, significance, and eternity, grounding his insights in Biblical teachings.

Critically, some readers may find the book's focus on Christianity limiting if they are seeking a more broadly spiritual or secular perspective on purpose. Additionally, while the book resonates deeply with many readers, its approach may not appeal to everyone, especially those from different religious or philosophical backgrounds.

Overall, "The Purpose Driven Life" is a timeless and impactful book that continues to guide readers towards a deeper understanding of their purpose and a closer relationship with God. It's recommended for anyone seeking spiritual growth and clarity in their life's direction.

Great lessons, not so great mandates...

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2024

I much enjoyed the march toward decency in life and in spirit. However, didn't much like being TOLD what is, what will be and what isn't. Anytime another human tells me they know all the answers I know that they don't. Still, happy I stuck it out even though the last few chapters were too much dogma. Overall, kickstarts much reflection and the search for purpose. Rick's purpose isn't mine, which is where he should have drawn the line.

Good but...

The intention is great but the writing is too simple. Like they tried to make sure its readable for everyone. But its kind of annoying if you gone passed high school academics.
