Title: Purpose Driven Life-November 22 to December 31, 2011
Post by: blyempowered on September 05, 2011, 08:07:32 PM: For the last 40 days of this year I plan to read "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. With this though I want others to be a part of my journey through this book. If anyone is interested in being a part of this journey with me for the last 40 days of this year please let me know and join me.

If you don't have the book already you can get it on amazon.com or your local Christian bookstore.

Post by: musallio on September 16, 2011, 04:05:47 PM: I have my copy which I bought in 2005 right in front of me.

I's strange that I've never really tried to go according to the "passage a day" type of thing. I guess it's because I'm not someone who's good at keeping journals or diaries- so I kind of go at my own pace.
Hopefully I'll read the required sections on the required dates. :)

That's the link for my Day 1 thoughts. I'm about to do Day 2 reading and then thoughts. Unless there are more participants I'll probably just post the link everyday that you all can click as a form of accountability.

I've just completed Day 18 of the 40 day Purpose Driven Life reading. I can't believe I'm halfway done. This has been great for me spiritually as I prepare to step out on faith to do what God has called me to do!
