[Faith-talk] Rick Warren Books

[Linda Mentink]

I would not recommend them, if you are a 
Christian who wants to stick with the Bible. He 
has some very ecumenical ideas, and the Bible 
says that Christians should be separate from the 
world. He uses many passages from a paraphrase of 
the Bible, rather than a translation. And, why 
should we be purpose-driven? We should be in 
God's will, and that does not drive!

We studied The Purpose-Driven Life in the church 
I attended in Wisconsin before moving here to 
Nebraska. I purchased it on CD, and wished I 
hadn't; but I needed it for Sunday School. I left 
it there! So, yes, read them before you buy them. 
Of course, if you read them from BARD, you can 
keep them if you want. I was uncomfortable with a 
lot of his teachings and approaches. That wass 
over 7 years ago now, so I don't remember what 
particularly. I'm conservative and 
"old-fashioned", and I didn't like his modern ways.

Just my two cents.

Blessings,

Linda
