Purpose Driven Life: What On Earth Am I Here For by Rick Warren
I read this the summer before 12th grade, and honestly didn't get much out of it. I felt neither inspired nor more understanding of my life when I finished it; rather, I felt annoyed and like I had for the most part wasted my time.

Rick Warren uses the Bible to help answer questions relating to stress, depression, having peace with God and living a Christian life.
Designed to be read over the course of forty-two days, The Purpose Driven Life will help you see the big picture, giving you a fresh perspective on the way that the pieces of your life fit together. Every chapter of The Purpose Driven Life provides a daily meditation and practical steps to help you uncover and live out your purpose, starting with exploring three essential questions:
The Question of Existence: Why am I alive?
The Question of Significance: Does my life matter?
The Question of Purpose: What on earth am I here for?… (more)
