Purpose Driven Life is a modern daily devotion based around Rick Warren’s well known book of the same name. Indeed Rick Warren now hosts the devotional entries on his website.
It is not strictly a daily devotional in that you get five emails each week from Monday through to Friday. Each day covers one of the five key themes of the book as follows:
- Worship
- Discipleship
- Fellowship
- Ministry
- Evangelism
This is a great structure to use for a devotional to ensure that each day you are thinking about a different area of your life.
The style of writing is very much the same as the Purpose Driven Book, so if you enjoyed reading that then this would be a good choice of devotion. At the end of each devotion there is a section titled “What does this mean”. This gives a good little summary of the devotion and often includes application questions to get you thinking.
Getting the devotion
If you go to the devotion page of the Purpose Driven Life website you can read the entry for the day.
However the easiest way to read the Purpose Driven Life daily devotion is to subscribe to the Purpose Driven Life email service.
The subscription process is relatively laborious though as you have to provide your name, address and telephone number. I can understand they are interested in collecting these details, but it will put many people off signing up to the email.
Summary
The Purpose Driven Life devotion provides a well rounded variety of (almost!) daily articles to help in all areas of your life.
Strengths
- Good quality articles
- Available via email
Weaknesses
- Long sign up process for the email

My Wife and I are currently conducting weekly Prison Ministry sesons.

I am a new Christian,9 months old and looking for my purpose after losing my job and career at 60 years of age. After a period of depression and turning to drugs, this book has helped me on my Christian path. I am still out of work, no longer taking drugs and no longer depressed as I have been diligently working on obedience to the Lord. I found myself on this site because I am interested in getting all of the free study guides that you have available.
God bless us all.
Thank you, Eileen

Dear Mr. Rick Warren,
I was given this book The Purpose Driven Life by my relative way back March 2010, I just set it aside then knowing it was just another spiritual book until these August 7,2011 while i was going through my stuff at the garage i came accross it but never cross my mind that it was the same book given to me by my relative. As i started reading through it i felt something strange wanting me to reach for more each day becomes more meaningful. I would like to give the same book to someone special how much will it cost me? can i pay it monthly. Thank you so much God Bless You.

I also attend here in the Philippines a christian church. Thank you and God Bless.
A good friend of mine lent me his “Purpose Driven” book. I am reading it now and have just finished day seven . It says to email you and you will send the booklet ” Your First Steps for Spiritual Growth”. I am very anxious to get this booklet. Thank you for this offering and God bless you for helping us all find our purpose.
Dear Brother in Christ (Mr. R. Warren),
I’m also praising God with that book -“Purpose Driven Life” it brings a new perspective and new outlook in our christian life – to live for God’s glory. We are using this book here in Saudi Arabia. I read some ‘comments’ from some theologians or Bible students…and I know you have considered those comments with humble/godly heart. We know that God is only the perfect one. His ways are not our ways. May our gracious Lord Jesus give you more godly insights & wisdom. You’re blessing to us. Glory to God!
Dear Mr. Rick Warren,
A blessed day, I was on my 7th day reading the purpose driven life book and you stated to email you to have the booklet, i was so eager to have those booklet because i know it would be a greatest help for me to grow more spiritually, thank you.. Our almighty God be with us!

Hi pastor Rick Warren !
I greet you in Jesus name , I knew you through your remarkable book (purpose driven life) , really it’is amazing and excellent book , my purpose in this message is to thank you thousand and thousand millions for writing that wonderful book . It inspired me to much to know the meaning of worship , to be like Jesus (discipleship) God wants me to learn , being in God’s family (fellowship) , GOD made me to work for Him (ministry) and to be His witness (Evangelism) , GOD wants me to tell HIM others or bring others to CHRIST . May Almighty GOD give you a complete power and skill of writing .
