Subject: purpose driven? |
Bible Note: No, Doc, I haven't read either of Rick Warren's books; however, my wife has read "The Purpose Driven Life." This evening I asked her to rate it for me among the two dozen or so books she's read in the past several months and she put it at No. 2, second only to the Bible, which she also read from Genesis to Maps during the year. By the way, I didn't mean to be abrasive in my previous post to you on the subject, but I've always been more than a little frustrated with book reviewers who write a review of a book without having read the book. Years ago in an English class I ventured to give a book report without having read the book. The teacher, who was not nearly as much a fool as I thought, commended my book report and called me clever to be able to do so well in view of the obvious fact that I had not read the book. Then he announced before the entire class that he was generously awarding me an "F" on my book report! :-) I deserved it. And it taught me a lesson I've never forgotten: Never give an opinion on a writer or his work without making it a point to know whereof one speaks. --Hank |
