The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

Cindy L. Nardini, MS, LPC Government Relations Chair, Louisiana Counseling Assn Member of Louisiana Coalition for Violence Prevention

I am currently reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. This is not a new book, on the shelves or for me. I bought it years ago, read it, and put it with my collection. Because of some circumstances in one of my son's life, he started this book, which encouraged me to read it again. Amazing! Isn't it interesting how the context of what's happening currently in our life changes what we "read" on the page? To me, that's evidence of how our lives are constantly changing and growing. The same experience will effect us differently – from one person to the next and one time to the next. I'm enjoying the book. It is helping me understand myself better, which I see as a Iifelong process. I also believe that for us to be the best agents of positive change for our clients that we need to be constantly learning and growing ourselves.
