"The book is a good tool. To those searching it is a starting point not the final word. A cookbook read in the living room is just a book. When it is in the kitchen used as a guide it becomes useful, the same is true with this book. One isn't able to read a cookbook and know how to cook, it is just a tool used in learning. To those who want to pick and choose thier faith nothing will be useful for those people are too "smart" to accept anything other than what they already know. Prayers are said daily around the world for them to soften their hardened hearts and they can't stop it. I've lived on both sides of this issue and have had the anger in me when people reached out. I still try to look through the eyes of those who choose not to believe. The gift is ever present, it is up to you to open or discard. I'll continue to pray for you to open and enjoy the Blessing. The water from the Spring of Life is far sweeter than the Wine of Babylon."

— Rachel, 2/16/2014" I noticed the arrogance of a lot, but not all, of those who gave this a negative review. If you have little or no humility, I recommend you avoid this book. But if you are open to a biblical interpretation of life purpose, give it an open-minded read. Since I've read it more than once, some of these negative reviews didn't really read it or simply get it. "
— Namet, 2/16/2014" The best I can do with this is to say that it is the lessons of the Bible written in outline format. With the problem that some of the lessons seem to have become trivialized. "

— Hans, 12/7/2013" Slobbering social gospel message. "
— Lorrie, 12/7/2013" #1 NYT bestseller? That amazes me. This book is fluff, low on substance and high on diverting one away from the one true gospel as a self-help guide. Newsflash for Rick Warren ... We are not the good news, Jesus Christ is. "

— Dina, 10/14/2013" Didn't finish it. In my adulthood, I don't ask such questions as "what am I doing here and why?" The book was given to me as a gift. Started reading it out of courtesy, and then grew bored with it. "
