Title: where is the beef?
Review: Warren does offer much sound advice in The Purpose Driven Church and The Purpose Driven Life. Commendably, he attempts to support most points with "nearly a thousand quotations from Scripture" (Life, p. 325). But the "scriptures" he quotes are speculative paraphrases such as The Message (see TBC Q&A Oct. '95) by Eugene H. Peterson (NavPress). The Purpose Driven Life never presents the biblical gospel, which alone saves. Readers are told to "learn to love and trust God's Son, Jesusthis is a watered down Gospel and surely not the Gospel of our Lord and Savior. Tragically Rick Warren is a graduate of Schuller's Institute and it shows in liberalizing of the Gospel which has become "another Gospel"
