The book topped the Wall Street Journal best seller charts as well as Publishers Weekly charts. In later versions of the book, 2 additional chapters were added about the 2 biggest reasons why Christians don't live purpose driven lives, envy and "people pleasing."
Purpose #4: You Were Shaped for Serving God ( Christian Ministry).Purpose #3: You Were Created to Become Like Christ ( Discipleship).Purpose #2: You Were Formed for God's Family ( Christian Church).
Purpose #1: You Were Planned for God's Pleasure ( Christian Worship).The book's 40 chapters are divided into six major sections, with the following titles: Rick Warren described his book as an "anti-self-help book." The first sentence of the book reads, "It's not about you," and the remainder of the chapter goes on to explain how the quest for personal fulfillment, satisfaction, and meaning can only be found in understanding and doing what God placed you on Earth to do. Each chapter contains a personal application section at the end with a "point to ponder," a verse to remember, and a question to consider over the course of that day. The book is intended to be read as a daily inspiration, with each of the 40 short chapters read on consecutive days.
The 2002 book Purpose Driven Life is a sequel to his 1995 book The Purpose Driven Church. The Purpose Driven Life might have never been written if Billy Graham had not believed in me. This greatly inspired Warren when he had "little confidence" in his writing ability: Warren was encouraged by Billy Graham in his 20s after he wrote his first book: Rick Warren’s Bible Study Methods.
