The Purpose Driven Life Devotional for Kids [Hardcover]

Pastor Warrens adult book The Purpose Driven Life (2002) has been translated into 50 languages. Thisvolume, aimed at young people, uses a day-by-day devotional format to engage readers in thinking aboutGod, prayer, and the Bible. The book is divided into six purposes: The Reason for Everything; Faith andFriendship with God; Your Part in Gods Family; Becoming like Christ; Serving God, Serving Others;You Were Made for a Mission. Within each section, Warren focuses on a biblical passage from the Oldand New Testaments and offers both a kid-friendly discussion and a brief prayer that encapsulates themessage. Most of the discussions make the passages relevant to young people, though some feel forced, aswhen analysis of a passage in Genesis in which Sarais name is changed to Sarah attests she was originallyknown only as Abrahams wife, and then suggests readers ask their parents how they were named orcontemplate Gods name for them. Still, kids will make their own connections, and the decorative formatmakes the book quite manageable for young readers.--- Ilene Cooper
