I would just like to write a review on this book, entitled The Purpose Driven LIfe, by author and pastor (or minister/ vicar/ etc) Rick Warren, who heads up Saddleback Church - one of the largest and fastest growing churches in America, where the current membership stands at around the 20,000 mark.
The Purpose Driven Life is a book that is intended to help (Christian) people to find God's plan for their lives, and is intended to be used as a 40 day guide. That means that, as there are 40 chapters in it then you are meant to cover a chapter a day. A lot of churches tend to use this as a study guide over the period of Lent, finishing off with a big celebration on Easter Day.
As already noted, it is intended to help Christians realise who they are in God and the author seeks to help people by doing so through the teachings ...
Advantages: Helps you in your life. Disadvantages: Not if you are a non-Christian.
A bit of background:
Rick Warren is the pastor (minister) of a church in California, known as Saddleback. He has also written another book called the Purpose Driven Church, which looks at ways to help you church grow and this book (the one I shall review) is based on a similar structure to the pre-mentioned one.
So on to the Purpose Driven Life.
The book has been written with the sole ppurpose of trying to help people realise why they are here, and what for - that is, what their purpose in life is, rather than just simply 'drifting through'. It has of course been written by a Christian for Christians, which may be a bit limiting but I see no harm in a non-Christian at least looking through a copy of it.
Originally published in 2002, it has 336 pages in all. My copy is softback, and is well thumbed now!

Advantages: The King,, Slash, Great album Disadvantages: None
**Introduction**
Michael Jackson has become a lot like Marmite with many people around the world over the last few years. Some either Hate him or Like me Love him. (Or rather his Musical legacy). With all the bad press I thought we should focus on something positive and With his huge upcoming stand at London's 02 Arena coming up I thought it was time to review the album that is freshest in the memory of Michael Jackson fans and that album is of course his 2001 album Invincible.
**Invincible**
It's been eight years since Michael Jackson released this album and that makes his previous gaps between albums seem like an artist who releases an album every year or year and a half where it has always been around four years apart from 1997's Blood on The Dancefloor after 1995's History. Invincible was released by Epic Records and features ...
