I Have Rick Warren’s Autograph
Purpose Driven Connection
Look what arrived in the mail the other day. It’s Rick Warren’s autograph. It came with a personal letter with Rick’s signature on it. Likely I’m one of thousands that received it, but, for the sake of my ego, I’m going to assume that it means I’m special.
The autograph is on a premier issue of Purpose Driven Connection magazine. You may have heard about it. The new quarterly magazine is the result of a new partnership Rick has with the Reader’s Digest. (Which begs the question: Why wasn’t Reader’s Digest interested in a magazine on killing cockroaches?)
Each issue of the new magazine includes a DVD of Rick and a small group study guide that accompanies the teaching. This first issue also includes articles from Rick and some of my favorite authors including Mark Batterson, Max Lucado, Lee Strobel and Bill Hybels. On top of that, the content links up with the new PurposeDriven.com website where you can find additional tools to become connected to others pursuing God’s purpose for their lives. That includes Bible tools from my friends at YouVersion.com.
The magazine is well done. Trends in publishing might suggest that launching a new magazine may not be the best strategy right now. However, this one is unique in that it’s attempting to bring people together around a specific purpose that’s linked to a web community. It’ll be interesting to see whether or not Rick’s new initiative gains traction.
In the mean time, I still have his autograph…or at least of facsimile of it.
i was tempted to leave a comment with Rick’s handle… but didn’t.
I was tempted to comment on how I’d like to buy the rights to make The Purpose Driven Movie starring Jim Belushi…..but didn’t.
Er… Uh… Um…
Congratulations I guess…
