Thoughts on Two Books:

Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life

(What on Earth am I here for?)

and

Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion

by Roger Bourke White Jr., copyright July 2008

On The Purpose Driven Life

In spring of 2008 I was given this book by my good friend Daniel Lee (Lee Se-Jong) who thought I might find it a good read.

I looked at it quickly and found it was a basic Convert-to-Christianity book. The author recommends reading just a chapter a day, and the chapters are just a few pages long.

Doing a few pages a day didn't sound bad, and, I decided, I would journal my own thoughts as I read.

What you see here are my thoughts about Christianity as I read Rick Warren's book. The thoughts address the subjects that Rick Warren brings up on a chapter-by-chapter basis.

Have fun with this,

On The God Delusion

The first Dawkins book I read was The Selfish Gene, and I enjoyed it. I'm an evolutionist, and I found his insights to be good ideas that deepened my own understanding of evolution.

Now I'm giving this book, The God Delusion, a try. The topic is closely related to The Purpose Driven Life, so I'm blogging it as well, and putting the results here.
