Rick Warren Brags About Library Bigger Than Your House, But His Theology is Still Trash
Rick Warren is the now former Lead pastor and overseer of the SBC-affiliated, 25,000-member, 14-campus Saddleback Church who has recently seen a resurgence from discernment ministries after a few years on the outs. He is famous for peddling to the church the poison and spiritual strychnine that is The Purpose Driven Life for over four decades- a damaging and unbiblical theology that has seeped into tens of thousands of churches, becoming part of their identity.
Over the last few years he has raised eyebrows for announcing they were having a “Blacks Only worship service” where no white members were allowed in, so the “black fold” could have a “safe space” to “heal,” for blasting white Christians for having no discernment and not caring about black people.
Prior to his departure from Saddleback, his church ordained several women to be pastrixes, bragged about how awesome his church is, and then dared the SBC to rebuke him over it.
In a recent video, he shows off his sprawling, massive library that is bigger than most homes. He is careful to point out Books by John Calvin, John Bunyan, Charles Spurgeon, and other great writers, yet nothing they have ever said has seemingly sunk in, given that it did not produce good theology and instead only greater judgement.
In a previous tour, Warren claims he read a book a day for most of his life. He has the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of autographed books, having 4000 of them, including Martin Luther’s commentary on Galatians. He also has Charles Spurgeon’s music stand in his library and a large picture of Spurgeon prominently displayed.

Unclear whether or not it contains a Bible. May be one way up on the top shelf somewhere collecting dust.
