I am such a procrastinator ... I just mailed Rick Warren a copy of Peter Singer's The Life You Can Save. It's only been two months since I said I was going to do that: http://www.atheistmissionary.com/2009/06/deconstructing-purpose-drive-life_13.html
In the unlikely event that the book actually makes it to Rick in person, I hope he reads it and recommends it to his followers. Unfortunately, the chances of a mailing from The Atheist Missionary making it to "America's most influential spiritual leader" are about the same as a camel making it through the eye of a needle.
Mr. Warren will not recommend this book to his followers, not because he necessarily disagrees with most of its sentiments, but because he will not be able to bring himself to tout the writings of someone with Singer's leanings on religion. And that is a real shame.
