Every day, for the next 40 days, we will be sharing the highlights of one chapter from Rick Warren's best selling "The Purpose Driven Life".<br />
Each day we will share the "Point To Ponder", "Verse To Remember", and the "Question To Consider" from each of the 40 chapters of Mr. Warren's work.<br />
As an added motivation, at the end of the first day, we will do 10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups. Each day, as we review the book, we will add one push-up and one sit-up to our routine so, at the end of our 40 day review not only will we have a greater grasp on God's purpose for our existence, we will be doing 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups creating a stronger physical presence to compliment our purpose driven lives.<br />
I also ask that, every day, you pay this information forward to at least one friend or loved one and offer them the gifts that we will be receiving over the next 40 days.<br />
