Everyone is greedy for gain

Customer Rating:
Jere. 6:13; 8:10 - "everyone is greedy for gain"
Rick Warren has sold 40 million books in the past thirteen years. The average price for a book is $19.95. Most authors get a 15 percent royalty on the books they write (authors of Warren's success may well get a higher percentage, but we'll be conservative here). All this means that Warren has sold $798 million worth of books. Warren's take--15% of $798 million--is $119,700,000. So even if Warren "tithed" 90% of his income, he still kept $11,970,000 for his own personal use. That is more money than most people will make in their lives. And it is certainly not what Jesus did.

Great book

Customer Rating:
Rick Warren has written another common sense book for all to benefit from. The questions at the end of each chapter challenge the reader to go one more step. We are using it in our Bible study. I have enjoyed the book very much.

Great Book!

Customer Rating:
If you are struggling with stress, failure, depression, an overwhelming crisis, this is a great book. The great thing about this book is that it gives real steps that you can do right now to help your situation and the way you think. It is written from a Christian perspective and offers Bible references and stories that offer hope and strength in difficult times. I loved the story of Elijah. I had read I Kings 19 before, but never thought about it the way he explains. It is short and to the point, not a lot of fluff, just sincere help when you need it most.
