Book two is Driscoll's current project:

Death by Love

Many books debate the finer points of the doctrine of the atonement. What is often lost are the implications of Jesus' death on the cross for those who have sinned and have been sinned against. This book will allow people to understand, appreciate, and trust in Jesus' work on the cross for sins in a way that other books on the subject simply do not. The tone will be conversational, loving, heartfelt, and pastoral because it is based on real people and real sin.

Our hope is that Death by Love will be one of the most unique books ever written on the cross of Jesus Christ. It is a compilation of heartfelt letters written from me to people I pastor about the practical ways that Jesus' death is the only hope for their life.
