The Purpose Driven Life

The Purpose Driven Life

By Rick Warren

Sample Excerpts:

  • “It’s not about you… You were made by God and for God—and until you understand that, life will never make sense.”
  • “It is painful experiences that God uses the most to prepare you for ministry. God never wastes a hurt! In fact, your greatest ministry will most likely come out of your greatest hurt. Who could better minister to the parents of a child with a serious illness than another couple who have a child afflicted in the same way? Who could better help an alcoholic recover than someone who fought that demon and found freedom? Who could better comfort a wife whose husband has left her for an affair than a woman who went through that agony herself?”

The Purple Book

By Rice Brooks

This book has a very odd name, but it has good foundational information.
