Rick Warren’s Resurrection
It’s been ten years since the publication of megachurch pastor Rick Warren’s bestselling The Purpose Driven Life. As an anniversary edition comes out, The Daily Beast’s Michelle Cottle profiles Warren, who believes the country is still “in desperate need of some direction and purpose and meaning.” Though he is set to “reboot” with a publicity tour and church campaign, Cottle notes, “It is a tall order—and one that some in the evangelical community doubt Warren still has the juice to pull off. In the past couple of years, Warren’s star has unquestionably dimmed a bit.”
