Check them out in the mean time. Both books have study questions at the end of each chapter that might be useful for a Bible study group. Drew&#8217;s book looks like a response to a purpose driven life:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Charles Drew has given us a great book to give away&#8211;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&#8211; a perfect combination. Drew takes us a step beyond the literature that is presently available on the subject. Highly recommended.&#8221; <b>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtsbooks.com\/category-exec\/category_id\/336\/nm\/Timothy_20Keller\"><b>Dr. Timothy Keller<\/b><\/a>, Senior Minister, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been meaning to say thank you for awhile but kept forgetting to do it.
