Are you dissatisfied with The Purpose Driven® Life? Have you read Rick Warrens bestseller and wondered, "Is that all there is?"

Evangelical leaders are beginning to voice their concerns about the seeker-sensitive model of ministry. In More Than a Purpose, Dr. Marshall Davis · Documents what evangelical leaders are saying about the megachurch movement. · Explores the origins of Rick Warrens approach in the Church Growth Movement and Robert Schullers gospel of self-esteem. · Examines the theology of Warrens Saddleback Church and finds that it falls short of historic Christianity. · Exposes the market-driven methodology and philosophical pragmatism of The Purpose Driven® Church. · Shows how the entertainment model of worship has taken over evangelical churches. · Reveals how New Age spirituality has influenced the beliefs and the practices of The Purpose Driven® Life. · Challenges Christians to recover the essentials of evangelical Christianity that will restore integrity to the twenty-first century church Dr. Marshall Davis is an ordained Baptist minister with thirty years of experience as a pastor.
