If one doesn't take it at all seriously (which I didn't) it's very amusing. Robert M. Price wrote a pretty good response to it entitled, <i>The Purpose Driven Life</i>. He mirrored Warren's arrangement and wrote 40 chapters that corresponded, roughly, with Warren's 40 chapters. Reading both books side by side is entertaining. Don't be overwhelmed by the "40 chapters" - each one is only 3-4 pages long. I read this book about a year ago. If one doesn’t take it at all seriously (which I didn’t) it’s very amusing. Robert M.

I haven't read "The Purpose Drivel Life" (not a typo) but I just ordered it. By the way, around 5 minutes in: What makes God smile? Bill Maher. Excellent idea – I’ll try that too.

This video had me laughing out loud! I'm still trying to figure out how I took this all so seriously at one time. I remember reading books like this, and really thinking they had figured it all out. *ugh* I heart Bill Maher!
