Not Quite What I Expected
This book, although written well, is not quite what I expected. It is, indeed, just as the title states: "A Catholic Perspective..." It is to be used in conjunction with reading "The Purpose Driven Life." I mistakenly thought that this was a substitute for that book, as I am Catholic and I realize that our faith, although similar, does pose some differences. It is, like I said, a companion to be used while reading Rick Warren's book. I had been hoping that it was its own Catholic version, period. It still made interesting clarifications. Just wanted everyone to know what they are buying.

A Great Unbiased Work
I enjoyed the Purpose Driven Book by Rick Warren, but had some questions of how his perspective was presented. I found that this book is well written and supports many of Rick's thoughts and differentiates areas required from the Catholic Church in a way that is not negative to Rick Warren's original work. I really enjoyed this well written book and proud that it didn't take away from original book that has been a guide to help so many. It helps put in perspective that even thou we have difference in faith we are still all Christians with much common ground. As a Catholic I will be looking for other books from this Author going forward.

How unfortunate
How unfortunate...another book emphasizing the difference between Catholicism and Christianity when we need more books emphasizing Catholicism is PART OF CHRISTIANITY. I realized lots of people will read this "review" (I haven't read either book) and rate it as useless (I'm hoping to achieve 0 for 10...can you help me out?), but it's important to stop separating Catholicism from the rest of the faith. And A Catholic Perspective on The Purpose Driven Life so does NOT do that. Bummer.
