This booklet is so great! It is a great way wet someone's whistle who otherwise would not read "the Purpose Driven Life". I have found that the two people who I've given this booklet now want to know more and have asked to read the actual book. It's concise enough to fit in pocket or purse and is great reading.

I highly recommend giving this booklet to anyone to introduce the book and discover God's purpose for their life. It is a great ministry.

This review is from: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Paperback)

This short read drives home your purpose for being alive according to our creator, which is God in Heaven. Knowing the reason you are alive, will bring a greater peace and understanding of many things in your life. When you come to the knowledge and fact of why we are all hear on earth, the trivial things of THIS world will loose much of its grip on you. I would recamend those who have not fully given their hearts to God, to read this with an open mind. Also read it to the end. It is not a long read and to get the full picture of the scene this booklet is trying to paint, I feel you must complet it. I also have a comment to another review I have read on Amazon, he stated that this is for Christian extremests that believe God is the only reason we are alive - Much of what he is saying is from taking things out of context, also showing his lack of knowledge and understanding of the Bible - This person goes on to state his beliefs of what a relation ship with God should be, and what is good for him while he still lives his life on earth to his standards (Dont you think God should explaine these things to us? He does in a book that states was devinely willed to man, the Bible) What I would like to say to him or others that share these feelings is - (According to the Bible) Which is Gods word, his way he left for us to get to know him, with specifics on what it means to have a relationship with him and to live for him, also to be SAVED and enter into the kingdom of Heaven which is our true purpose and home. God is why we are alive, the verses that were used in this booklet are supplied in the back, so you can refrence for your self in the Bible (Rick Warren did not make this stuff up - God did) This Booklet touched my heart and was a major tool in a complete change in my life, I now know a few great things. Why I am alive - What my purpose on Earth and for eternity is - I have more peace, and found a new and much more fufilling way of Life. (Without all of the things, Society, TV, allot of music - pushes on you and makes you feel you need it) Funny thing is I have a questionand challenge for all. If our way is working, if our so called modern education is better and we are smarter now then ever. Why is Divorce at its highest? - Why is suicide at its highest? - Why is depression at its highest? - Violent crime at its highest? - Children fighting and being suspending in our schools at its highest? Drug and Alcohol addictions at their highest? ETC. It is because we have forgoten God, removed him from our society and no longer seek the wisdom of our creator. Instead now MOST not all but most people go to so called counsellors for help, with life, marriage, addictions ect. Look at how well that is woking, every negetive stat you can think of is at it highest for the most part, ever in history. All these stats for the most part are also, continueing to get worse. Maybe it is time we start to seek the wisdom of our creator finially again, instead of mans. You find one person over 50 yrs old, that thinks the world is even close to as nice of a place to live, as when they were young. Now one last statment. Accepting and giving you heart to God is not always rainbows and sunshine, there will be mockers and the Bilbe speaks of this. Through all of the trials I have had though, I also have a new hope that guides me though all in life. I cant tell you of it and have it mean what it needs to in your heart for you to be saved and go to heaven. God tells us we must seek him ourselves, that is how you will find saving faith. I challenge anyone who can see what is happening to this world, since we have removed the Bible, Prayer and the 10 commandments out of our schools and public buildings. To now try Gods way, instead of mans. This booklet is a small but great step. If you do decide to get a Bible to learn for your self, the only book written from the apostles and of the words from Jesus Himself. I recamend a King James version, it will be a little challenging for most at first. But it is the most accurate of all the many watered down bible versions availible today. I also ordered the full version of the Book from Amazon Called the Purpose Driven Life - I hope you all find the same Hope and peace I have, by excepting the Truths of the Bible and Rick Warrens Books 1. What ON Earth Am I Here for 2. The Purpose Driven Life. I now have a wisdom that I know will never fail me for life on earth, a hope to get through all in life that was never there before. I also understand that this physical life is not all there is and is just a blink of an eye, compared to eternity spent in Heaven for those who commit to and accept Jesus. Thank You...

This is so Great! Everyone that I gave a copy of this book to read; has thanked me. Each has said that it has changed their life for the better.
I took the 40 days of purpose class at my church and read the book "A purpose driven life". This small version of the book gets right to the point and explains the purpose for our lives. Awesome book!
