how the purpose driven life obscures the gospel

Bob,

While I appreciate the thoughts you are expressing I am none the less left with a distinct question.

Have you actually read THE PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCH? I must confess that after reading your article I can not believe you have.

Again, I appreciate your thoughts and am sympathetic to them on some levels. However, as a person that has actually read THE PURPOSE DRIVEN CHUCH by Rick Warren, perhaps a half dozen times, I feel certain that you either have not yet read it in its entirety, or at all, or greatly misunderstood the premise the book was written for and under. To gain a proper perspective for your article it would be essential to have a grasp on the concepts in THE PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCH as well.

Again, I appreciate your efforts. However, it seems to me that your commentary throws out a beautiful set of triplets with a very small amount of bath water.

If you would read it in its entirety with an open mind I believe you may well come to some different conclusions.

Peace and Blessings,

hi, spend more time with Jesus in awe of who he is and you will benifit over spending 10 seconds of negativity over other people and their ministries.jimp

Personally speaking; I have read the Purpose
Driven Life more than five times. I found it to
be very helpful, practical, and useful in applying
and understanding scriptural truth !!
