Rick Warren

Rick Warren's influence is perhaps best measured by the reach of his work. His book The Purpose Driven Life has sold over 30 million copies, a rare feat for any author, and has been translated into dozens of languages. He was named to TIME's 100 Most Influential People list in 2005, and his P.E.A.C.E. Plan has mobilized churches across dozens of nations to address poverty, disease, and illiteracy.His ability to bridge the gap between evangelical Christianity and global secular institutions is unique. Addressing the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, he has brought a faith-based perspective to discussions on global issues. His mental health advocacy, born from personal tragedy, has helped destigmatize mental illness within the church, a legacy that continues to grow.
