Product Description

Book Description

This condensed version covers the first half of the book, including a five-point strategy for attracting and spiritually maturing the unchurched, and is read by the author, the pastor of Saddleback Church. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From the Back Cover

Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Rick Warren believers that in order for a church to be healthy if must become a purpose-driven church by Jesus. Now 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 in seminars to over 22,000 pastors and church leaders from sixty denominations and forty-two 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." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why does your church exist? This WILL help, 24 Jan 2002
Rick Warren's Purpose driven church is a book that will turn your thinking about what church is all about.
Why does your church exist? Is it purely for those who currently attend.
Built on the foundation of the Great Commandment (to love God and love your neighbour) and the Great Commission (to Go into all nations and...), Warren encourages the church to focus on 5 purposes of "outreach, fellowship, disciplship, worship and ministry" and organise the church around these purposes.

It recognises that everyone is on a spiritual journey and therefore the book suggests that the church needs to focus on five groups of people (community - unchurched, crowd - attenders, congregation, committed and the core) and build the church from the outside-in, i.e. reach the unchurch and take them through to committed and serving God.
I would encourage any church leader to read this book, and reflect on what it means for their local church. It has inspired me, and as a church we a prayer refocusing on what God wants for our church. (Happy to discuss with anyone who wants to drop me an email).
Finally reminder - God is building HIS church. Do we really what to help Him in that process where He has placed us?

5.0 out of 5 stars Life principle that make your impact last longer than you do, 3 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Purpose Driven Church: What on Earth Is Your Church Here For? (Audio Cassette)
A dynamic life changing view of where you are going not only as an organization, but as an individual. This book based on Bible principles gives practical help in making godly decisions that will out last your position, disposition, and even your life. An absolute jewel if you desire to grow spiritually as well as increasing your sphere of influence. We are all comitted to something or someone and this book helps you decern to whom you are comitted and where that comittment might lead you. I call this book a chiropractic treat for the soul. Gives you an adjustment. Some times makes you sore, but always lifts you to a new level of growth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant, 2 Jan 2001
By hinds@globalnet.co.uk (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Purpose Driven Church: What on Earth Is Your Church Here For? (Audio Cassette)
Practical, easy to read. For those who are familiar with Willow Creek Church and seeker services, this provides many of the same principles and are presented in an understandable way. It could have been written by Bill Hybels but wasn't. Good to see another view of the subject. The principles if applied could revoltionize the church. Suitable for UK/Irish market too.
