I’ve always been reluctant when it comes to certain trends within Evangelical Christianity in the USA. I didn’t buy the “Prayer of Jabez” because it just seemed silly to write a book about a fairly small and obscure verse in the Bible, especially when the verse is self-explanatory. I didn’t buy into the “Left Behind” series because it just seemed to be sensationalizing a certain theology that is fairly new (last 150 years) and people really seemed to take it very literally.
When “Purpose Driven Life” started moving along I, again, became skeptical about the need for another trend and another program. Then, people I looked up to started saying it was good. I found out last Sunday that our men’s group at church was starting a study on it, I decided to jump in. I bought the book at Costco (under 11 bucks) and started into it. I’m finished the first three chapters (you are only supposed to read one a day) and am glad I’ve jumped on board. This is a good trend for evangelical’s to look at following. It’s God based, not man based. I urge anyone to check it out and find your purpose in life.
