God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions: Principles for Successful Living (Living with Purpose)

Mainly what Rick Warren thinks are God's answers to life's difficult questions are to live a life that God reigns supreme and that God will step into your life (provided that you know you need Him), and with this your faith, God will lead and guide you through the difficult situations into the most correct path. This is because God wants you to be you that He created, and He has a plan for each of you individually. Attaining the goal of God's plan is good for both being your best that you want to be and being what God truly wants.First of all, the Rick Warren's style of writing is simple and clear, practical yet with deep thoughts. He likes to divide the subject into steps. For example, about his simplicity and clarity:How to live life above average, you need three things i.e., a) great ambition, b) growing faith in God, c) genuine prayer life.His thoughts are deep yet highly adaptable. (His adaptability makes the writing too easy for me sometimes.) For example, the three anchors for life in a crisis, that is, the three realizations of God's Presence, God's Purpose, and God's Promise.The last point about his writing, Rick Warren likes to talk about human nature and its mistakes with great, insightful commonsense. For example, he talks about three traps that are the common ways we bring troubles on ourselves.• We don't learn from our mistakes.• We don't choose our friends.• We don't take God seriously.As he goes, he tells the stories of the selected people in the Bible, their triumphs, their falls, their frailties and follies, their turnings to the Lord. I find that interesting but am unable to understand why going by the Bible is most comprehensive and most correct.Some few good sentences:"Meekness is an attitude of quiet confidence, of inner quality, and peace of mind." PP. 79-80"No one can ruin your life except you!" P. 86"Anchor yourself on the truths of God and pray for daylight." P. 135"What should we do when we are tempted to be bitter? Turn it over to the Lord." P. 188

We have been over joyed with the books we have gotten from Amazon that Pastor Rick W. has written He is a pamzing man and his books tell and teach such a wonderful story Thank you so much

This book is incredible! Rick knows how to put Bible speak into everyday speak -simplifies. By doing so, this helped me really 'get it', and I've been able to truly trust and give it all to God. I've been faithful all my life, but struggled with giving it up to Gods 100%. With this book I was able to clearly understand and release so many things from my mind and heart! Thank you Rick-LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Very great book b

This book was a really useful tool to get a deeper understanding of Christ and the Bible and how He works in our lives. I'd say it's very good for beginners And even in a Bible Study Group format. In fact, that is probably how I intend to use this book. The reason for 4 star and not 5 is because some of the questions seem pretty similar to one another and not very different, also, there are some VERY difficult questions in here that don't even get discussed which would have been interesting to read about (like purpose and bad things happening to good people).

This is a wonderful book, answering life's most difficult questions backed up with verses from the Bible. Pastor Rick Warren explains the most simple to the most difficult questions everyone has today with ease and sincerity. It's a must have in my library and will read it again. It's very affordable and I'm ordering more for friends and family.Another plus....I not only received it in a timely manner, but enclosed was a beautiful note from the seller, Becky, with a handmade bookmark. How thoughtful in times like these that someone actually takes the time to do something special that leaves you blessed! Thank you, Becky, for being an awesome seller on Amazon!

I have purchased several now. Great read and I have given all mine away so I need to order another. It’s a great book to read again as reminders and so spot on to the world we live in now day.

I bought this book to read for myself but days after receiving it my son made an attempt of his life. He was placed in a mental health facility and was in a very dark place. They allowed patients to receive outside reading material, so I brought him this book. This book turned his life around. He read through it and highlighted the parts that resonated with him and also shared it in his group sessions. He said all of those in his group loved the way this book helped related to them and uplifted them. This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone who suffers from depression and anxiety. A true life saver!!

I like the way Rick presented the situation, explained it and give practical steps to apply it to my daily life. It encourages me to continue to grow and believe in God and Jesus Cnrist. I highly recommend the book for those people who seems to be lost and have questions about life and our connection to God.

Je recommande fortement ce livre à quiconque rencontre des difficultés dans ce monde impitoyable, c’est la meilleure des solutionsEt tout cas j’ai trouvé du bonheur dans ce livre

Rick Warren has the gift of giving you enough depth without overpowering you. Each chapter deals with a different ' question' - some might not be relevant to your need but are still thought provoking. A book you can dip into and revisit many times. It is not a scientific or medical approach but one which draws us back to God's plan for the way we should live and His care for us. It shows us that God is concerned with all our 'Questions'.It met my husband's need when he was suddenly hospitalised and looking for a way forward - with very real questions about changes he needed to make in his life. It helped me too to see how God views things with fresh eyes.

Excellent service!

Puts Christianity into prospective very thought provoking and will change your life for the better in ways you haven't yet thought of
