This book bids to teach you a new “language” for thinking about your life and identity . . . This is a book to take slowly, so it sinks in. — David A. Powlison, Adjunct Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary

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, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York.

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, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary

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, author, Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling

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 their life’s work. — Chris Keidel, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

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., author, Disarming the Secular Gods
