The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Korean Translation)

This is the Korean translation of The Purpose Driven Life, originally published by Zondervan Publishing House. The spiritual premise in The Purpose-Driven Life is that there are no accidentsâGod planned everything and everyone. Therefore, every human has a divine purpose, according to Godâs master plan. Like a twist on John F. Kennedyâs famous inaugural address, this book could be summed up like this:âSo my fellow Christians, ask not what God can do for your life plan, ask what your life can do for Godâs plan.â Those who are looking foradvice on finding oneâs calling through career choice, creative expression, or any form of self-discovery should go elsewhere. This is not about self-exploration; it is about purposeful devotion to a Christian God. The book is set up to be a 40-day immersion plan, recognizing that the Bible favors the number 40 as aâspiritually significant time,â according to author Rick Warren, the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, touted as one of the nationâs largest congregations. Warrenâs hope is that readers willâinteractâ with the 40 chapters, reading them one day at a time, with extensive underlining and writing in the margins. As an inspirational manifesto for creating a more worshipful, church-driven life, this book delivers. Every page is laden with references to scripture or dogma. But it does not do much to address the challenges of modern Christian living, with its competing material, professional, and financial distractions. Nonetheless, this is probably an excellent resource for devout Christians who crave a jumpstart back to worshipfulness.âGail Hudson
