I started to read A Purpose Driven Life, but I didn't get very far because it seemed kind of low on good, substantial spiritual meat. Maybe it has redeeming qualities, namely that it points its readers to the Bible and encourages a way of living that is centered around service for others. (Really, what more could you ask of a book, if you think about it?)
Anyway, happy week after Easter, and may we always remember the reason our faith in Christ is even possible.
Posted by waltondammerung at March 29, 2005 7:19 PMJust get beyond the first several chapters(maybe 8 or so) and then you will get more out of it. It also helps to read it at the same time and share with others insights and thoughts.
Love you as always!
As you have implied, the reason our faith in Christ is even possible is that He led a completely "purpose-driven" life: His steps daily brought Him closer to the cross, despite many pressures and temptations to turn from that path. If you examine just the number of words in the Gospels about Christ's life, the vast majority are devoted to the week between Palm Sunday and the Resurrection. A purpose-driven week indeed.
