Drew 		Christlit Book Awards Review "Three Years: Making a Difference in the Time You Have Left" by Dr. Drew M. Christian is a remarkable work that serves as a profound gift to its readers. The author approaches his subject matter with a level of vulnerability and honesty that is both admirable and inspiring. His personal testimony resonates deeply, providing invaluable insights for anyone who engages with the text. His extraordinary and sincere accounts illustrate the biblical tenet of sharing testimonies, revealing the transformative influence it can have on the propagation and validation of God's word. The exploration by Dr. Christian into the impact of Jesus on our lives is particularly enlightening, as he discusses the meaningful changes that can happen when individuals invite the Holy Spirit into their hearts. A central theme is the importance of embodying the teachings of Christ, prompting readers to take immediate steps and to cultivate their faith on a daily basis rather than postponing their spiritual growth. It has certainly encouraged me to pursue a more meaningful and productive existence while working to elevate my virtues, and I believe it will evoke a similar response in others who come across it. One chapter that particularly struck a chord with me was the one discussing the distinction between working out and working on salvation. The guidance provided was exactly what I needed to hear, and I am grateful to the author for offering such wisdom. It’s refreshing when a book not only inspires self-improvement but also deepens one’s faith, reminding us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. After immersing myself in this book, I was left with an enormous sense of love, gratitude, and motivation. This book is not just a read; it’s an invitation to reflect and act. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking renewal and a deeper connection to their faith, as it has the potential to uplift and transform lives. - Louise Jane, CEO The Christlit Book Awards Read more
