O autorze
WARREN RICK is passionate about attacking what he calls
the five “Global Goliaths” – spiritual emptiness, egocentric leadership,
extreme poverty, pandemic disease, and illiteracy/poor education.As a pastor, he founded Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., in
1980 with one family. Today, it is an evangelical congregation averaging
22,000 weekly
attendees, a 120-acre campus, and has more than 300 community ministries
to groups such as prisoners, CEOs, addicts, single parents, and those
with HIV/AIDS.
Recently, the church fed 42,000 homeless people – three meals a day –
for 40 days. As philanthropists, Rick and Kay Warren give away 90 percent of their
income through three foundations: Acts of Mercy, Equipping the Church, and The Global PEACE Fund. | |
Opis produktu
- WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR. You are not an accident. Even before the universe was created, God had you in mind, and he planned you for his purposes. These purposes will extend far beyond the few years you will spend on earth.
You were made to last forever!
Self-help books often suggest that you try to discover the meaning and
purpose of your life by looking within yourself, but Rick Warren says
that is the wrong place to start. You must begin with God, your Creator,
and his reasons for creating you. You were made by God and for God, and
until you understand that, life will never make sense.
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 question: 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 importantly, 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.
This is a book of hope and challenge that you will read and re-read, and it will be a classic treasured by generations to come.
