 Life Change Made Simple October 16, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Warren is best known for The Purpose Driven Life and The Purpose Driven Church. This is a much earlier work, but it is as good as either of the previous mentioned books. Warren is a master of taking the most difficult subjects in life and making them seem simple. I Purpose Driven Life, he makes living for God seem attainable to all of us. In this work, he makes something as hard as changing your life (an impossible task for most of us) seem attainable by anyone. Warren's reasoning and logic are amazing.
This is a valuable book for anyone struggling with things they would like to change about themselves and for anyone involved in helping people with life change.
 A star less than Purpose Driven Life October 14, 2007
If you are expecting the something as revolutionary as a Purpose Driven Life you will be disappointed, but if you are just looking for a good inspiring Christian book you will be pleased. The book is based on the fruits of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, gentleness... He gives a chapter for each of the fruits in which he gives steps to help incorporate each of the fruits in our life, while also clearly explaining that the fruit is a work of the Holy Spirit

Great book. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered it for 2 people. Also, let costumer service know that my mastercard has been compromised and therefore, changed. I have not requested to be an Amazon prime costumer so do not use my mastercard number unless I ask you to.

Love the book. Once again Rick Warren's bits of wisdom hit the mark. He used key scriptures of the bible in pointing the way so that we can effectively live by God's will. This is a definite read.
 Cliche Implosion January 4, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I want to start by saying that I'm a big Rick Warren fan and think the garbage he's now taking for being nothing more than "too popular" is unwarranted and hypocritical.
I bought "God's Power to Change Your Life" with the full expectation that I'd get some real insight into the title. Ummmm, nope.
My opinions on this book in a nutshell are:
1 - Seems like a Bartlett's Cliche Book (if there is such a thing) blew up and landed inside this effort
2 - Either Rick "phoned this one in" to meet a publishing deadline while he was in Africa, or someone on his staff wrote it.
3 - The theology here is about a half inch deep
4 - Joel Osteen could have written this book.
On the positive side it was a good review of basic Christian tenants (However, I really don't think we need another reminder that people are born basically bad and not good), very basic, but really left me wanting something with meat in it. I hope his next effort is just that - an effort to reach out to those who want a deeper relationship with God and desire more scriptural and applicable insight into scripture. This one failed to do either.
Sorry, Rick - love you, don't like the book.
