Made for a Purpose

by Dandi Daley Mackall, Rick Warren, Glin Dibley (Illustrator)

Includes a foreword and discussion questions from Rick Warren! Cynthia 'C.J.' Jones loves spending time alone in her 'private' clubhouse on the beach, but more than anything she loves building beautiful sand castles. In fact, she already knows what she will be when she grows up. One day she discovers she doesn't have to keep to herself. Through the kindness of new friends she learns about God's love and how he made her---and her dreams for the future---with a definite purpose in mind.

Cute book for kids...spun of course from the famous Purpose Driven Life book, which I actually haven't read.

[Erroll Treslan · Rating 1 out of 5]

Great illustrations and a worthy story. However, the references to the bible, God and Jesus are unnecessary and simply detract from the story line.
