i read this book and did a class/study on it about 2 years ago, or whenever it first came out.
it basically goes into why we are here, and God's amazing plan for us while we are here, 5 missions, or purposes. it is a very easy read, the class was the best part cuz there was lots of small group discussion.
i liked the book, its message, and the corresponding study and fellowship it provided.

Have read it...enjoyed it, but realized that I was already trying to accomplish what the book was outlining...the book has some great thought provoking ideas, and many useful analogies and scriptures, yet, it didn't make my desire any more than I had before...
For someone, who is not really into church, it is a pretty decent introduction into the types of things you can do to re-evaluate your life, and your direction.

I've started reading this twice.
then, I let my Mom borrow it.
It's pretty good. But, like all my reading...I lose momentum big time.
Little kids rob your reading energy.

I've read it and it's a pretty good book. Although many churches have found it a great read and have committed themselves to "40 days of purpose" (or whatever they want to call it) I believe it is a totally worthwhile read for someone that doesn't go to church. It's truly about "do you have a purpose in life?" "what is your purpose in life?" "How do you find your purpose in life?" etc. I believe those are things we all contemplate from time to time.

I did read the book: "Stealing Jesus: How Fundamentalism Betrays Christianity".....and found it enlightening...I think I'd like to read this book. Is it worth reading?

I found it very interesting because it contained a lot of history of religions that developed or expanded in American during the 1800's and up.....and how fundamentalism took off after the Scopes trial....but it also talks a lot about just your basic mainline protestant churches like Lutherans, Methodist, Church of Christ, Presbyterian, Baptists, etc.......and some of the trends that took place in those churches during big social changes such as the end of slavery, women's rights, etc.......
