He is the cofounder of Celebrate Recovery with John Baker.Pastor Rick has spoken in 165 nations. He has spoken at the United Nations, US Congress, numerous parliaments, the World Economic Forum, TED, Aspen Institute, and lectured at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, and other universities.Rick is executive director of Finishing the Task, a global movement of denominations, organizations, churches, and individuals working together on the Great Commission goals of ensuring that everyone everywhere has access to a Bible, a believer, and a local body of Christ.

Pastor Warren’s adult book The Purpose Driven Life (2002) has been translated into 50 languages. Thisvolume, aimed at young people, uses a day-by-day devotional format to engage readers in thinking aboutGod, prayer, and the Bible. The book is divided into six “purposes”: The Reason for Everything; Faith andFriendship with God; Your Part in God’s Family; Becoming like Christ; Serving God, Serving Others;You Were Made for a Mission. Within each section, Warren focuses on a biblical passage from the Oldand New Testaments and offers both a kid-friendly discussion and a brief prayer that encapsulates themessage. Most of the discussions make the passages relevant to young people, though some feel forced, aswhen analysis of a passage in Genesis in which Sarai’s name is changed to Sarah attests she was originallyknown only as Abraham’s wife, and then suggests readers ask their parents how they were named orcontemplate God’s name for them. Still, kids will make their own connections, and the decorative formatmakes the book quite manageable for young readers.--- Ilene Cooper
