Here are two URLs related to Rick Warren & Readers Digest.<BR/><BR/>http://www.christianpost.com/church/General/2008/11/rick-warren-reader-s-digest-create-multi-platform-network-26/index.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1884038,00.html<BR/><BR/>Should come as no surprise that Rick Warren is featured in the March Reader's Digest.

Publishers Weekly states that his “The Purpose Driven Life” is the best-selling hardcover in U.S. history. <A HREF="“www.news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090311/us_time/08599188403800”" REL="nofollow">TEXT</A><BR/><BR/>From my minimal exposure to him, he doesn’t appear to teach “a prosperity gospel that celebrates wealth” but clearly has "moral stances that amount to primitive prejudices.” Definitely not like Apostle Don Stewart (as he calls himself) who will send you a “green prosperity prayer handkerchief.” This is not, of course, an endorsement of Warren. (Can you tell that there is nothing good on late-night TV even with cable?)<BR/><BR/>Did I finally embed a URL correctly?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-84088902482348806562009-03-10T13:56:00.000-07:002009-03-10T13:56:00.000-07:00Thank goodness the pendulum is swinging the other ...Thank goodness the pendulum is swinging the other way. The far right Christians were very well organized and were determined to instill their brand of fundamentalism on the rest of us. I hope they continue to fall by the wayside as people become more tolerant.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.com
