My brother, who is a retired Methodist minister, recommended this book. The first 3 chapters were pretty good and then came the chapter where Rick Warren says that you MUST go to church to totally be committed to Jesus and God. Say what?!! I don't go to church because I think most of the people who go are doing to make themselves feel good. And, 2004 the Methodist church defrocked a female minister who came out as being a lesbian. She was tried by an all male Methodist ministers and yes, she lost her job. I am heterosexual and after that happened I vowed never to darken the door of any church. My relationship with Jesus and God has nothing to do with whether or not I attend church. I quit reading the book and donated it to our local thrift store. This book has a copyright date of 1954...enough said! I highly recommend a devotional book by Sarah Young called "Jesus Calling" You will glean more from her book(s) than you will ever get from this one!
