"Thank you, Richard Abanes, for setting the record straight about Rick Warren."

"Testing and pointing out false teachers is a biblical mandate. An honest handling of the facts are required in this pursuit. In spite of what others may think of Rick Warren and The Purpose-Driven Life, Richard Abanes demonstrates that the label false teacher is uninformed at best and an out right lie at worst.

"In a time when Christians seem given to criticism, busy criticizing their own church and pastor as well as other ministries, it is refreshing to see someone step forward and defend a ministry and a leader who has contributed as much to the cause of Christ and His church as Rick Warren has. The interview the author has with Rick is marvelous and enlightening, and you may even smile as you read some of the criticisms made against his ministry and teaching, especially in light of the responses provided. Hopefully, this book will help readers to be more careful in their thinking and provide better critiques in the days ahead."

"Abanes has done a great service by setting the record straight on Rick Warren and Saddleback. Warren has a strong commitment to the core doctrines of the Christian faith and an unmistakable passion for reaching the lost, equipping pastors, and strengthening local churches.  Purpose-driven is not New Age, it’s New Testament."

"I've known Rick and Kay Warren for years, and have been amazed at the disinformation being disseminated about Rick since the success of The Purpose-Driven Life. I am therefore happy to see that Rich Abanes has written a balanced, fair analysis that separates fact from fiction regarding Warren's ministry and teachings."

— Dr. Ron Rhodes
President, Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries

"Abanes presents convincing evidence to specifically refute many of the charges made against Warren by Christian critics. Overall, he makes a persuasive case that The Purpose-Driven Life is more theologically and missiologically balanced than some of its harsher detractors are themselves."
