Zondervan Releases World’s Smallest “Purpose Driven Life”

Orginally published on Friday, April 18, 2008 at 7:45 AM

Zondervan publishing announced on Wednesday the release of the world's smallest edition of Rick Warren's popular book The Purpose Driven Life. The book will be less than an inch tall, about one-half inch wide and be under a quarter of an inch think. The text is complete and unabridged, although it is virtually unreadable without the aid of magnification. But Zondervan has noted that the main purpose of publishing the book so small is not necessarily for it to be read.

“This will allow someone to always have this little book with them wherever they go,” said Kurt James, editor for the project. “It can be kept in a purse or in a front pocket next to someone’s heart. It fits just about anywhere. So we’re not so much worried about people reading it. We want people to be comforted just knowing that they have it with them wherever they go, to remind them that their life has purpose and meaning.”

The “book” will be available in a number of styles which include a keychain, metal covered, necklace pendant and a double set as earrings. Also, a special micro-autographed edition will be made available to the first 1000 purchasers.

    [But Zondervan has noted that the main purpose of publishing the book so small is not necessarily for it to be read.] haha! Ends up being true about most of the Bibles published, too, I think.

    Funny stuff, thanks!
