review 1: Today is my birthday and this has been a pretty bad year for me. Through the course of this very bad year I have read many books on suffering some have been a very raw sharing of emotion. That is fine and sometimes helpful but this book by Tim Keller is ever so much more than tha...

review 1: This is typical Keller applied to a comprehensive approach to church based ministry, especially as it applies to doing ministry in the city. However, he makes the argument early on that because of the pervasiveness of popular culture, more and more suburban and even rural areas a...

review 1: Много хубава книга. Съвсем реална проблематика, представена много трезво, здавомислещо и балансирано. Малкият обем е компенсиран с многобройни препратки към допълнителни източници. Единственият недостатък е, че, лично за мен, книгата беше твърде отегчителна.Как да доведа в храмон...

review 1: This book gives us a fresh perspective on the parable of the prodigal son. We often emphasized on the relationship between the wayward son and the generous father, while neglecting the role and intent of the elder brother. But not this book. This book explains the cultural contex...

review 1: “If you want God's grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing.” “When people say, "I know God forgives me, but I can't forgive myself," they mean that they have failed an idol, whose approval is more important than God's.” “Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves....

review 1: I read this book in about a week. Tim Keller has a phenomenal ability to articulate somewhat advanced ideologies and notions in a way that makes it easy to understand and (more importantly) relevant to literally everyone. He does it again with this book.As a single white male o...

review 1: This is typical Tim Keller, which is to say it is very helpful introduction to Jesus and the gospel, the good news of what he has done for us. If you're not actually familiar with what the Bible says about Jesus, this is a great place to start. It's an exposition of some key them...

review 1: Rev. Keller speaks to me on par with Lewis. This book was immensely impactful, and I'm still striving to understand how and why. In his brilliance, Keller chooses in the first section to walk the reader through a very deliberate, painstaking (and never dull) process entailing a...

review 1: Our community group used this study of grace in everyday life beginning in January 2013 and ended in May 2013. Keller uses the bookends of the "World that is" and the "World that is to come" to frame his study on how the gospel impacts, motivates, and shapes everyday life. In ei...

review 1: Great book that is full of wonderful insights, challenging ideas. Keller has wrestled with the challenge of ministry in post Christian America and has a very helpful vision for engaging it. I only gave the book 4 stars because I think in an effort to defend the gospel he presents...

review 1: Encounters with Jesus contains ten Timothy Keller sermons rich in thought, insight, and encouragement. Keller preaches with three ideas in mind: pietistic, apologetic, and theological. Pietistic in that his sermons always warm the heart in devotion to Jesus. Apologetic for each s...

review 1: A small and easy read that is concise and to the point. Our ego puts us in the courtroom on a trial on a daily basis, doing what it can to prove our worth to self and others. But this performance trap is vicious and insatiable. The only way out of it is by fixating our hearts and...

review 1: What a great book! Keller starts out by using research to debunk the distortions of marriage prevalent in our culture (ie fairytale marriage, cohabitation, hookup culture, no-fault divorce, etc) and then offers the alternative: biblical marriage that glorifies God and sanctifies ...

review 1: I don't remember how I first discovered this book in the audio form. I listened to it about 2 years ago. I liked it, but it didn't leave a big impression on me.One day while driving along with Marilyn, and looking for something to listen to that we could both enjoy, I returned to...

review 1: This is a great eight-session small group study that focuses on how the gospel impacts all of life and how we live it out. There is a DVD that accompanies it with videos that last about 10-12 minutes for each session. This is a deep study for people who want real change. Small gr...

review 1: This is a really good little book.Just a few notes--There are a lot of John Stott references. I have nothing of substance to add to that, I was just surprised by the number of references!There is a good, brief interaction with the New Perspectives at the end of the book. Not an...

review 1: I enjoyed this booklet a lot. "Humility is not thinking more of yourself or less of yourself, but thinking about yourself less." Justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone can be the catalyst to this humility. That's gold!However, I did walk away wondering i...

review 1: Judges has always been on of those books I wondered why was in the Bible at all. Some of the most horrible and violent events in the Bible or imaginable take place. It shows a culture in a downward spiral. It shows what a society not centered on God looks like: worship something ...
