A questioning mind...
I'm usually not one to question things, but now I'm beginning to wonder about this book I'm re-reading, The Purpose Driven Life. I got so hyped up about it & figured that it would be the perfect answer to my quandry about the meaning of my life but I've been reading reviews of it lately & I have to admit that I, too, have some concerns.
Now, I'm not a theological scholar & in no way do I feel competent to challenge someone's writings especially when they bring Scirpture into the spotlight, but ya know, even when I reread Day #1, I looked up some of the scripture verses in the New American Bible & I, too, got a whole different meaning out of it.
So...here's my advice. Read with an OPEN mind. Question things if you feel the need or if you suspect something doesn't feel just right inside you. Do your homework. I believe we can still get something good out of Rick Warren's book but we may have to dig a little deeper inside ourselves.
