Abstract
Rick Warren wrote The Purpose-Driven Life, which one pundit claims is, after the Bible, the best-selling nonfiction book ever written. Robert Price, the author of The Reason Driven Life, considers Warren's book "merely recycled standard, one might even say stale, fundamentalist teaching" (p. 21). He thinks Warren is "a dogmatic preacher or writer who offers a magic alternative" to an individual taking control of his own life (p. 24) and offers "miserable human speculation" (p. 29).
