This is so Great!  Everyone that I gave a copy of this book to read; has thanked me.  Each has said that it has changed their life for the better.

I took the 40 days of purpose class at my church and read the book "A purpose driven life".  This small version of the book gets right to the point and explains the purpose for our lives. Awesome book!

For those who are wondering why the Bible?  Is there a God?  Why Jesus?  Purpose of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection?  Why am I really here?  Is there a purpose for me?  Does God really know that I am here?  If God is so loving, what is the purpose of hell?  If you are truly open to learn, by the time you get to the end, God, the Bible, Jesus, and the purpose for this universe will not be guesswork.  The deepest longings of your heart will be met.

I'm not sure it meets my expectations. I was looking forward to finding my purpose. However, I have not finished the book so I'm not sure if it will be what I was interested in.

Anyone that has raised children has heard the "why" question many times?  Why is the sky blue?  Why is water wet?  Why do I have to go to bed now?  In fact, answers sometimes are immediately followed up with another "why".  Human beings are just naturally curious about the world around them.  Asking questions about meaning is a characteristic of human intelligence.

When it comes to the universe, we often ask many why questions:

- Why does it has the properties that it has?
- Why it is so vast?
- Why did it come into existence?
- Why is it so old?
- Why does it appear that we are alone?
- Why is the something instead of something?
- Why am I here?
In the book, Why The Universe Is The Way It Is, by Hugh Ross, some of these questions are addressed.  Dr. Ross is the founder of Reasons to Believe (RTB), an organization that holds the Bible to be true while not rejecting the valid scientific observations of the natural universe.  While the book covers many scientific topics, its main focus is framing these topics within a Christian worldview, specifically RTB's testable creation model.

The chapters are arranged by "Why" questions, discussing why a Creator might have created a universe with these characteristics.  A couple of the more interesting questions concern whether or not we live in a perfect universe or if the Garden in Eden was a perfect paradise.  Is this universe design for human pleasure, or is there a higher meaning and purpose?  Is this universe all there is and is this cosmos doomed to eventually decay and die?  What is the ultimate destiny of the universe and humanity?  All these questions, and more, are addressed.

I don't recommend this book for those who are not open to thinking about "Why" questions.  However, for those that want to discover meaning in life and beyond, I recommend this book.

A wonderful book, which begs the question. Can you live your life asking " what would Jesus do? ". If you can, you can change your world into something much better. Something God intended to be.

This is a very informative read that goes into detail about what most still question in life:

1) Who am I?
2) Does God really exist?
3) What is my life purpose/why am I here?

There are a total of 412 references in which it cross-links several sources including biblical, thought leaders, science, religion, occult, and online and offline news sources. It also exposes hoax's as well.

If your searching for deeper meaning to life and more truth, this is must read.

THIS IS THE BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE--Being one of the few seekers in this particular experience of what we collectively call "Life", existing with the  terminal dis-ease of the question--What am I here for?

This book put me on the path for which I am eternally grateful.

Human Beings of planet earth if you want to try being more than a monkey in clothing, this is a good place to begin. It will opened for me a new way to live. A way to use my natural talents to a higher advantage.

I have read a number of books by this same author since reading this book and I highly recommend all of them, although most of them take more study than simpy reading.

Or maybe I game therefore I am. Is reality perceived because it exists? or does reality exist because it is perceived? Why am I here? These and other of life's mysteries are completely not answered by this book. But it is a jolly good read and it is puissant.

We all have questions about the meaning of life.  It also seems important to try to answer some of those questions because they reflect so much on what we do every day.

This well-written book is short, but full of information about the Christian worldview and how it answers some of life's big questions.  Whether or not you are a Christian is immaterial.  Any true thinker needs to understand the philosophy and theological underpinnings of one of the world's largest and most succcessful religions.  This book is a great start on that study.

Enjoy the book!

Purpose is a deeply beautiful, deceptively simple and profoundly comforting affirmation that our purpose is both changing and unchanging  and understanding the difference makes all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone who longs to find meaning to this wild journey we call life.

To Know You by Shannon Ethridge and Kathryn Mackel holds a depth of honesty about searching and raging and grappling with lifes questions that a scrapper like me has not often found, at least not without the accompanying judgments or soapbox lecture. As the pages unfolded poignantly the mosaic of human tensions and intrigue, this story felt less and less like fiction to me. Its true intention rang instead through the halls of my heart like the bells of a great cathedral, announcing some happy occasion. The cause for my celebration? Understanding, acceptance and comprehension; and in a work of fiction, no less! It offered so much more than I had anticipated. Understanding of the human compulsion to seek answers to such cosmic yet mundane tensions as
 Is it okay to lift a fist to the sky, teeth clenched defiantly? Does this large and sometimes seemingly aloof God truly comprehend my human frailties? Even more perplexing, why would He stoop to do so? Can faith and frailty exist together? Does He shudder at my human passions; or does He see the deepest longings of a womans soul, of my humanity, if indeed He carved them into me to begin with? Is He waiting on the sidelines until I get it together before reaching out to me again with his love and mercy?
 I am grateful to have, in large part, already settled these questions for myself. Im even learning to let gratitude be the hue that colors the slow and painful road, through grief and heartache. Still I needed many reminders contained within the powerful themes brought to light here. And who indeed does not desire, or find that the struggles of life require, finding the God who created and accepts them now: passions, flaws, questions and all?
This is a Must for lovers of fiction, intrigue or just plain great writing!
