Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Find a group of others who are seeking direction in life and read this book together. The questions at the end of each chapter are worth the price, and you'll find yourselves drawn into a dialogue that will change your life”
The Rev. Peter C. Moore (D.D)
Dean and President Emeritus, Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry, Director of FOCUS, Inc.; author of Disarming the Secular Gods
“I was moved to tears by this beautifully written, honest, and comprehensive perspective on life calling. Charles Drew presents a realistic but hopeful view—one solidly grounded in the reality of the triune God. This is a great book for anyone wanting to reflect on the purpose and direction of his or her life's work.”
Chris Keidel
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Metro Philadelphia/Delaware Area Director
“In A Journey Worth Taking, Charles Drew has written a well-researched, thought-provoking guide which offers a meaningful analysis of the unique stages of calling. A highly recommended read for anyone who has ever wondered, 'Why am I here?'”
Jane Hyun
Leadership Strategist and Executive Coach, author of Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling
“A Journey Worth Taking is a winsome invitation to take seriously the mystery of your life. 'Why am I on this earth?' may be one of the most important questions you can ponder if you want to live a life of more than quiet desperation or cul-de-sac mediocrity. Charles Drew calls us to the glory we can know and the beauty we can author if we heed the invocation to live into the story written for us to reveal. This is a book for any person of any age who is courageous enough to ask: how shall I live?”
Dan Allender (PhD)
President, Mars Hill Graduate School; author of To Be Told, The Wounded Heart and co-author of Bold Love, Breaking the Idols of Your Heart: How to Navigate the Temptations of Life and Cry of the Soul: How Our Emotions Reveal Our Deepest Questions about God
“This book rightfully places calling in the grand framework of eternity while bringing God down into the flesh of our very human lives. An understanding of the thoughts laid out here will lead to a life shot through with joy even in this fallen world.”
Diane Langberg (PhD)
Psychologist; author of On the Threshold of Hope:Opening the Door to Healing for Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Counseling Survivors of Sexual Abuse Credentials, and Counsel for Pastor's Wives
“In this deeply theological and intensely practical and encouraging book, Charles Drew offers each of us the realistic hope of one day being greeted by our Maker with the words,“Well done, my good and faithful servant.“ I can imagine no greater affirmation of the cosmic significance of human life on earth! I recommend this book to anyone who is wrestling with questions about identity and calling today.”
Mardi Keyes
Co-Director of L'Abri Fellowship in Southborough, MA
“Charles Drew has given us a great book to give away—especially to those who want a purpose-driven life and want to dig more deeply into the mysteries of that purpose. It is at once clear, personal, culturally up-to-date, and theologically rich—a perfect combination. Drew takes us a step beyond the literature that is presently available on the subject. Highly recommended.”
Dr. Timothy Keller
Senior Minister and Founding Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, author of best-selling books, The Reason for God and The Prodigal God
