5.0 out of 5 stars Purpose Driven Life For Commuters: What On Earth Am I Here For, August 11, 2005

This review is from: The Purpose Driven Life for Commuters: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Audio CD)

I already have the following items for Purpose Driven Life: What On Earth Am I Here For?:
Hardcover Book, the Journal, tapes & CDs, but I wanted the For Commuters version because I can get more out it of while driving. Also it allows me to catch up. I've advised others to read the book, listen to tapes or cds. Purpose Driven Life allows me to focus on what's important & to really think about my purpose because most of us don't feel or have a clue to what our purpose is in life. It also enlightens me to what I didn't know & to know what I sometimes felt wasn't wrong. I now regret I couldn't take the workshops/classes when they were available. I did email the poem in the book to others which touched almost everyone who read it. I would highly recommend this to all who searching or looking for their purpose in life & for refresher course in their Christinan walk with God!!!

This review is from: The Purpose Driven Life for Commuters: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Audio CD)

I was very surprised at how well I connected with "Purpose Driven Life". I'm not a born-again Christian; I'm just a regular guy. I never thought how all the little details in my life were created for God's purpose. But a lot of my thinking came together when I listed to some of the author's ideas.

I've always been a Christian, but I used to feel that a lot of chance and guessing played a part in whether you go to Heaven. I feel more confident that God loves us and wants us to go to Heaven. I trust Him. I also feel better about what to do here on Earth, because of this audio book.

I'm an innkeeper, & rarely have time to just "sit & read". I do have the hard cover; however, a friend recently gave me the 4-volume CD so I can listen while doing other innkeeping activities. It's wonderful. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to benefit from the lessons, but who finds it difficult to find time for the book. It's a wonderful in-depth look at why we're here on this earth!
