Being a Starbuck&#8217;s fan myself drew me into the story where the authour parallels his Starbuck&#8217;s experience with his Jesus experience and I found myself relating and identifying with the story. As is typical with the web, one thing lead to another as I explored the Purpose Driven Life site because I was attracted by the relevance and relatability of the story. I&#8217;ve read the Purpose Driven Life book quite some time ago, but this experience has me thinking about re-reading it soon.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of all this is that I subscribed to their daily devotional <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purposedrivenlife.com\/newslettersignup2.aspx\">newsletter<\/a> and I&#8217;m looking forward to more real life encounters with Christ and a deeper and renewed faith walk with the King of Kings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.purposedrivenlife.com\/pdcafe\/starbucksandjesus.htm\">Purpose Driven Life: Purpose Driven Caf\u00e9<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Starbucks and Jesus Excerpted from John&#8217;s book Confessions of a Caffeinated Christian By John Fischer  I am a loyal, shameless consumer of the Starbucks brand. I drink my coffee every day out of a stainless steel mug with a snap-on lid I got at Starbucks three years ago. I have a Starbucks cap. I fly United whenever possible because they have a good frequent flyer program although the fact that they serve Starbucks on board does not go unnoticed. I get a warm feeling inside when I\u2019m on the road and I see the circular green logo. It\u2019s home away from home. As far as I\u2019m concerned, there is coffee and there is Starbucks, and that\u2019s about it. Coffee is what you get at Circle K or 7 Eleven. Starbucks is what you go a little out of your way for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Purpose%20Driven%20Life\">Purpose Driven Life<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Starbucks\">Starbucks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First a confession, I lifted the picture from the Purpose Driven Life Cafe site.
