Book Review- The Purpose Driven Life- Part 6


A few weeks ago I began my chapter-by-chapter review of Rick Warren's popular book The Purpose Driven Life (hardbackKindleaudio book). Rick Warren presents a theology of suffering in this book that caught my attention as a defender of the Christian worldview because of its applicability in addressing the problem of evil and suffering. Because the book has forty chapters, I decided to break up the review into multiple parts that coincide with the parts of Warren's book. For easy navigation of this review, here are the links to all the previous parts. Please check them out to learn more about the value of this book:
