Don't miss the review by Bob DeWaay of Rick Warren's best-seller The Purpose-Driven Life. DeWaay exposes the flaws of Warren's seeker-sensitive gospel, which has a cult-like following within Christianity. He tells how a friend participating in a Purpose Driven book study was told he had to leave his Bible at home. The concerns he raised were too disruptive to the group, he was told. DeWaay, who writes for Critical Issues Commentary, also points out the mysticism woven into Warren's theology. Warren promotes "breath prayers," which are endless repetitions of short phrases – a technique he says will help us hear God better. Yikes.
