Svrhovit život: Zašto uopće postojim?

You were not born by accident, the author, Protestant pastor Rick Warren, tells readers. God envisioned you even before the creation of the universe and created you for a purpose. And it is more permanent than the few years you will spend on earth. You were created to live forever! We will not discover the true purpose of our life by looking within ourselves. We must start our reflection with God, our Creator, and with the reasons for which he created us, the author believes. "God created you, and for himself - and until you understand that, you will not be able to understand the meaning of your life," writes Warren. "This book will help you understand why you live and what God's wonderful plan is for your life - now and here, but also in eternity." According to the vast majority of critics, A Purposeful Life has proven to be a Christian classic, whose wisdom and practical advice will be valuable to many generations of Christians. They call it essential reading for Christian life in the XXI century. For a century. The author, among other things, encourages the reader to think about what it really means to live in accordance with God's will and to have communion with God and with others, and reminds them of the original biblical understanding of discipleship, service and evangelization.
