What a loon! I basically support his efforts, but he seems like a real oddball and that makes me skeptical. Watch the video and see for yourself.

I think Warren is looking to line his pockets. Reminds me of Joel Osteen.

He's sounding like the love child of Elmer Gantry and John Galt.

Glad to see that Rick Warren has decided to take on the demon of "egocentric leadership."

Your skepticism is not misguided. The guy has wandered off the reservation.

The phrasing of the question is quite telling. Probably by accident, it really reveals the problem with Rick Warren.

Rick Warren is no "loon" and he is not "lining his pockets".

As usual too many people judge what they don't know or understand.

Rick started his church in Rancho Santa Margarita with no money - just for friend who put up the seed funding.

- He lives the same house today he did when he started (in Southern California - that's saying a lot)

- His church has grown to include schools, international missions, etc - all self funded.

- A Purpose Driven Life is today the worlds best selling non-fiction work in history - save one

This is a great humble man.

I attended his church for many years.

Take a breath all you judges and jurors - you know not what you say.

This has already been kicked to death. Stand by for a food fight.
