Want To Be "Envelop[ed] in a Multimedia Web of [Rick] Warren’s Message"?

January 27, 2009

Then you’ll want to pay the $30 subscription fee Reader’s Digest is charging for Pastor Rick Warren’s new quarterly magazine, Purpose Driven Connection, which, as the Wall Street Journal reports, also buys you “a bundle of multimedia products” including “access to a Facebook-like Christian social-media Web site and DVD guides for leading a prayer group.”

Pastor Warren on his magazine:

There’s a flat-out segment of Americans who are unashamed followers of Jesus Christ. We’re not trying to make this a magazine for everybody.
