It's not really inspirational (in my opinion, which can be wrong). It's just a book on why you are living on Earth. It's by a pastor whose church is around my area. But the man can speak. His use of words (or diction, whichever you prefer) is just amazing. Just check it out. I bought the book for a friend of mine. Yes, it's worth sharing with others. It's sold
"The Purpose-Driven® Life
The book is a blueprint for Christians 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 about.
Colossians 1:16 “For everything – absolutely everything – above and below, visible and invisible everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him.” Written in a captivating devotional style, The Purpose-Driven Life features 40 short, life-changing chapters that reveal God's purpose for your life. Make the rest of your life the best of your life and start right now."

You probably lost just about 70% of the members intrest because you mentioned the word Christian in it. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. I've read the book. There was actually a article about it in News Week for this week I believe or the week before.

The self help market is huge and everyone wants a slice of the pie. "Everyone" meaning those talent challenged second rate writers who long ago realized they could never write good literature in this lifetime.
