Praise for the Print Edition

An affectionate uncle and peer at the same time, Dr. Drew shows how he rests in God and encourages readers to do the same. Very readable!

—Dr Art Lindsley, Senior Fellow C.S. Lewis Institute

">The letters are very well written and he very appropriately uses references to his own experiences, to literary sources and to the natural world. He also has a good sense of humour. This book would make a very suitable gift for a young Christian just starting at university, or already in the midst of a university course.

—Phemie Cromie, The Covenanter Witness (October 2003)

The intellectual and emotional effort that Drew puts into his letters is impressive and bears witness to his gift of speaking God's word into younger lives. An encouragement to consider the place of godly mentoring in the Christian community, especially for young people.

—Naomi Richardson, The Reformed Theological Review 63:2 (August 2004)
