The Scripture versions cited in this book are identified in appendix 3, which hereby becomes
This book is dedicated to you.
Before you were born, God planned this moment in your life. It is no accident that you are reading this book. God longs for you to discover the life he created you to live—here on earth, and forever in eternity.
It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and
what we are living for. Long before we first heard
of Christ, . . . he had his eye on us, had designs on us
for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is
working out in everything and everyone.
Ephesians 1:11 (Msg)
I am grateful to the hundreds of writers and teachers,
both classical and contemporary, who have shaped my
life and helped me learn these truths. I thank God and
you for the privilege of sharing them with you.

D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S
In addition to the questions at the end of each chapter, you can use these discussion questions in your small group or Sunday school class setting.
What on Earth Am I Here For?
• What do you think are implications of the first sentence of this book, “It’s not about you”?
• What do you feel most people’s lives are driven by? What has been the driving force in your life?
• Up to this point, what image or metaphor has best described your life? A race, a circus, something else?
• If everyone understood that life on earth is really preparation for eternity, how would we act differently?
• What do people get attached to on earth that keeps them from living for God’s purposes?
• What have you been attached to that could keep you from living for God’s purposes?
You Were Planned for God’s Pleasure
• How is “living your whole life for God’s pleasure” different from the way most people understand “worship”?
• How is a friendship with God similar to any other friendship, and how is it different?
• Share something you learned from a time when God seemed distant.
• Which is easier for you—public or private worship? In which do you usually feel closer to God?
• When is it appropriate to express anger to God?
• What fears surface when you think of surrendering your complete life to Christ?
You Were Formed for God’s Family
• How is “being as committed to each other as we are to Jesus Christ” different from the way most people understand “fellowship”?
• What are the barriers that keep us from loving and caring for other believers?
• What would make it easier for you to be able to share your needs, hurts, fears, and hopes with others?
• What are the most common excuses people give for not joining a church, and how would you answer them?
• What could our group do to protect and promote the unity in our church?
• Is there someone you need to restore a relationship with that we could pray for you about?
You Were Created to Be Become Like Christ
• How is “becoming like Jesus Christ” different from the way most people understand “discipleship”?
• What are some of the changes you have seen in your life since you became a believer? What have others noticed?
• A year from now, how would you like to be more Christlike? What can you do today to move toward that goal?
• Where in your spiritual growth are you having to be patient because there seems to be little progress?
• How has God used pain or trouble to help you grow?
• When are you most vulnerable to temptation? Which of the steps to defeating temptation could help you most?
You Were Shaped for Serving God
• How is “using your shape to serve others” different from the way most people understand “ministry”?
• What do you love to do that you could use to serve others in the family of God?
• Think of a painful experience you have gone through that God could use to help others who are going through the same kind of situation.
• How does comparing ourselves with others keep us from fully developing our unique shape?
• How have you seen God’s power demonstrated through you when you felt weak?
• How can we help every member of our small group or class find a place of ministry? What can our group do to serve our church family?
You Were Made for a Mission
• What are some typical fears and stereotypes that people have when they hear the word “evangelism”? What keeps you from sharing the Good News with others?
• What do you feel might be a part of the Life Message that God has given you to share with the world?
• Share the name of a unbelieving friend that everyone in your group can begin praying for.
• What can our group do together to help fulfill the Great Commission?

Appendix 3: Why Use So Many Translations?
This book contains nearly a thousand quotations from Scripture. I
have intentionally varied the Bible translations used for two important
reasons. First, no matter how wonderful a translation is, it has
limitations. The Bible was originally written using 11,280 Hebrew,
Aramaic, and Greek words, but the typical English translation uses only
around 6,000 words. Obviously, nuances and shades of meaning can be
missed, so it is always helpful to compare translations.
Second, and even more important, is the fact that we often miss the
full impact of familiar Bible verses, not because of poor translating, but
simply because they have become so familiar! We think we know what a
verse says because we have read it or heard it so many times. Then when
we find it quoted in a book, we skim over it and miss the full meaning.
Therefore I have deliberately used paraphrases in order to help you see
God’s truth in new, fresh ways. English-speaking people should thank
God that we have so many different versions to use for devotional
reading.
Also, since the verse divisions and number were not included in the
Bible until 1560 A.D., I haven’t always quoted the entire verse, but
rather focused on the phrase that was appropriate. My model for this is
Jesus and how he and the apostles quoted the Old Testament. They
often just quoted a phrase to make a point.

Growth Without Compromising Your Message and Mission
Rick Warren E
very church is driven by something. Tradition,
finances, programs, even buildings can be the
controlling force in a church. But in order for a church to be healthy,
it must become purpose-driven.
Rick Warren, the founding pastor of Saddleback Church, shares a proven five-part strategy
that will enable your church to grow . . .
• Warmer through fellowship
• Deeper through discipleship
• Stronger through worship
• Broader through ministry
• Larger through evangelism
Discover the same practical insights and principles for growing a healthy church that Rick
has taught to over one hundred thousand pastors and church leaders from over one hudred
countries. The Purpose-Driven Church shifts the focus away from church building programs to
emphasizing a people-building process. Warren says, “If you will concentrate on building
people, God will build the church.”

Another Landmark Book
by Rick Warren
You are not an accident. Even before the
universe was created, God had you in mind, and
he planned you for his purposes. These purposes
will extend far beyond the few years you will spend
on earth. You were made to last forever!
Self-help books often suggest that you try to discover the meaning
and purpose of your life by looking within yourself, but Rick Warren
says that is the wrong place to start. You must begin with God, your
Creator, and his reasons for creating you. You were made by God and
for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
This book will help you understand why you are alive and God’s
amazing plan for you—both here and now, and for eternity. Rick
Warren will guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that
will transform your answer to life’s most important question: What on
earth am I here for? Knowing God’s purpose for creating you will
reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give
meaning to your life, and, most important, prepare you for eternity.
The Purpose-Driven® Life is a blueprint for Christian living in the
21st century—a lifestyle based on God’s eternal purposes, not cultural
values. Using over 1,200 scriptural quotes and references, it challenges
the conventional definitions of worship, fellowship, discipleship,
ministry, and evangelism. In the tradition of Oswald Chambers, Rick
Warren offers distilled wisdom on the essence of what life is all about.
This is a book of hope and challenge that you will read and re-
read, and it will be a classic treasured by generations to come.
Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake
Forest, California, one of America’s largest and best-known
churches. His previous book, The Purpose-Driven® Church, has sold
over a million copies in 20 languages. Winner of the Gold
Medallion, it was selected as one of the 100 Christian Books That
Changed the 20th Century.
