Any Christians find Purpose Driven Life as a Christian book?

I hear a lot that Purpose Driven Life is a Christian book because it was written by a Christian pastor, Rick Warren. Do any Christian consider the book to be Christian?

I read it and thought it completely anti-Christian. It is a perfect book for "new age Christianity" but that isn't Christianity. It is human secularism mixed with watered down Christianity. Same as the Gnostics mixed Greek neo-Platonism philosophy with Judaism and Jesus.

Just wondering if there is a large base of people that do consider it Christian. If you do, would you consider yourself a "new age Christian" like his church?

    I didn't like the book. I'll stick with the Word of God, the Bible.

    It is a New Age book or what I call "human secularism Christianity" which isn't Christianity at all. If you research the institute where Rick Warrens went to Seminary, you will find that all the other seminarians have that skewed Christianity as well.

    We agree. And Warren has shown his true colours ever since.
