So many people get caught up in the negative messages the world sends them---that they aren't smart enough, cool enough, or are otherwise unworthy of God's love and grace. This devotional contains 365 selections from Rick's popular Daily Hope devotions that relate to the underlying message of the title: that God determines your worth, not others, and that He considers you incredibly valuable. As Rick says, 'You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.' This devotional provides readers with daily hope and encouragement and with practical thoughts to live assured of their worth. In turn, they will be encouraged to share this amazing news with others. Rick is infinitely quotable. In addition to the great devotional content, this book uniquely offers a memorable takeaway quote from Rick at the end of each devotional through a 'Share This' section. One-line quotes are perfect for Facebook or Twitter and will encourage a social media-savvy generation of readers to share that day's devotional core message. Rick will be launching his first daily radio program called Daily Hope with Rick Warren as part of Salem Networks on April 1, 2013 in some of America's largest markets including Dallas, Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, Atlanta, New York City, and Honolulu.
Richard Duane "Rick" Warren is an American evangelical Christian minister and author. He is the founder and senior pastor of Saddleback Church, an evangelical megachurch located in Lake Forest, California, currently the eighth-largest church in the United States.
He is also a bestselling author of many Christian books, including his guide to church ministry and evangelism, The Purpose Driven Church, which has spawned a series of conferences on Christian ministry and evangelism. He is perhaps best known for the subsequent devotional, The Purpose Driven Life, which has sold over 30 million copies, making Warren a New York Times bestselling author.
Warren holds conservative theological views. While holding traditional evangelical views on social issues such as abortion, same-sex marriage, and stem-cell research, Warren has called on churches worldwide to also focus their efforts on fighting poverty and disease, expanding educational opportunities for the marginalized, and caring for the environment.
