If "God" means love, honor, beauty, and/or truth, then perhaps it is correct..

False.My life became more meaningful when I discarded his religion.
It's interesting that the author considers his life purpose-driven (his book's title) when he considers that life has no meaning if he can't spend eternity praising a god that seems like it has endless need. I can scarcely thing of a less meaningful existence, not to mention that his world view has caused him to find daily life meaningless, purposeless, and hopeless. He pays a great price for that belief.
And of course, if he is wrong about his religious beliefs, which is virtually certainly the case - then his life really is meaningless if lived that way - like somebody dissatisfied with what is real and present, however beautiful and inspiring to others, and living his life as if waiting at some kind of cosmic bus stop waiting to be taken away to something better, likely a grave.

First,the book imitates the work of Miles Munroe and appears shortly after Munroe's book. It is redundant. Secondly it is bad advice put wrongly put forward as representative of biblical canon and Judaism as if it were the essence of Christianity. It is the essence of bible sales, the essence of being told not to do anything without demanding direction from God. This ought to theoretically put a lot of pressure upon God to respond, yet somehow it doesn't. I think a lot of people find that God is unimpressed by people waiting to be told what to do.True or not?
Certainly not true..

I don’t find that many nihilists amongst my atheists friends. Though in saying that, perhaps we just happen to be happy drunks.Pretty much. It's easy to fall into nihilism and existential despair if we're just meaningless meat robots in a random universe.
Wow, just wow! I do not think that believers should make assertions like that. He can speak for himself, but he should not try to apply that to everyone, because that is arrogant....

Oh, I'm not trying to equate nihilism with atheism.I don’t find that many nihilists amongst my atheists friends. Though in saying that, perhaps we just happen to be happy drunks.
