About This Book
The thesis of The Purpose Driven Church is that when churches think first about
their health, growth is sure to follow. "If your church is healthy," writes Rick
Warren, "growth will occur naturally. Healthy, consistent growth is the result
of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church." These five purposes are
to "Love the Lord with all your heart," "Love your neighbor as yourself," "Go
and make disciples," "[Baptize] them," and "[Teach] them to obey." And those
purposes can only be accomplished, argues Warren, when church leaders stop
thinking about church-building programs and shift their focus to a
"people-building process" involving fellowship, discipleship, worship, and
evangelism. Warren, the founder of the fastest-growing Baptist church in
American history, has taught seminars to thousands of pastors from all over the
world, many of whom have successfully implemented his techniques.
"The Purpose-Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and
church leaders than you can count. What a gift! I can’t imagine anyone who’s
serious about the church not reading it." --John Ortberg (Author of Everybody’s
Normal Till You Get to Know Them)
"After reading The Purpose-Driven Church in 1995, I ordered twenty copies for my
staff and elders. Eight years later, the message and strategy contained in this
work are as significant and relevant as ever." --Andy Stanley (Senior Pastor,
North Point Community Church)
"In 1985, I heard Rick present the contents of this book in a seminar format. As
he spoke, for the first time I imagined leaving my teaching career in higher
education to enter pastoral ministry. My heart was won by Rick’s vision of the
Church driven by her God-given purpose—rather than by doctrinal arguments,
denominational competition, or institutional survival. That vision has been
alive in me ever since, and you can catch it too, through these pages." --Brian
McLaren (Pastor, Author, Fellow in Emergent (Emergentvillage.com))
"One hundred years from now church leaders will be studying the movement known
as ‘purpose driven’ churches. They will find Rick Warren as its architect and
The Purpose-Driven Church as his blueprint." --Erwin Raphael McManus (Founder of
Awaken and Lead Pastor of Mosaic)
"Although the actual form of ministry may look different from different types of
people, there are extremely critical principles within this book that we all
need to know, no matter what generation or philosophical mindset we are involved
with." --Dan Kimball (Author of The Emerging Church and Pastor of Vintage Faith
Church)
"The best book on entrepreneurship, business, and investment…" --Rick Karlgaard
