The "Church Growth Movement" which has become known as the Purpose Driven Church, is primarily the world outreach of Willow Creek Church in Chicago and Saddleback Church in California. The touted religious leader of this paradigm religious earthquake is Rick Warren of Saddleback.
According to South West Radio Ministry over 30 million copies of his book The Purpose Driven Life' have been sold by 2009, and as reported, over 21,000 churches worldwide have gone through his "40 Days of Purpose" program. The actual number is probably over 50,000. This movement seems to be the most drastic change in Christendom since the 1550 Protestant Reformation.
But where is it going? Do we not have a right to "try the spirits" (I John 4:1-2)? Do we not have an obligation to God to "try the spirits"? The object of the PDC movement is in eight steps to change your church from a "traditional church" to a "Purpose Driven Church". The author brings out the similarities of the PDC gospel to that of Dr. Charles Schuller and the New Age gurus.
James has written a number of documentaries exposing the Purpose Driven Church and Church Growth Movement teachings and practices; and the infiltration of Carl Jung and Psychology into the church in which he demonstrates these to be a clear and present danger to the church.

Something I feel is very strange, with all the huge buildings and oppulent grounds, I just read this morning Rick Warrens church is almost $1,000,000 in the red.
TPDC movement is really selfish when you get down to it. What's in it for me, God? It's not right. The Bible says your gonna suffer as a Christian, and Rick Warren is telling you to unlock your potential as a person. Something's wrong with this picture.
zondervan publish this book to?? and the NIV also which is missing thousands of words. this publishing house is owned by Rupert Murdoch. This publishing house also print satanic bible and pornographic material... as Dr.Scott Johnson so wisely said..those of us who buy from Zondervan are funding the devil....
In 2004, I had listened to a program on Christian radio with Dr Noah Hutch talking about TPDC, in a bad light. Well, I had just completed TPDC bible study and was not happy to hear this information. But, God kept nudging my heart to listen to this program. So, the next day, Dr Noah Hutch was completing this series on the deception of Rick Warren. From that program, I began to research this deception myself and found, wow, Rick Warren really is a deceiver, with so many other "Christian" leaders.
