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 sermon aims to defend the faith from its secular critics and explain the richness of the Faith to the questioning. Doctrinal, Keller weaves strong theological content throughout his messages educating believers in the truth of the Evangelical faith. I read each chapter in one sitting mediating on these three truths as a form of spiritual reading. In every chapter, I was encouraged spiritually, informed intellectually, and motivated personally. I have no doubt that if you desire to be feed Biblically... more, you will not go away hungry.
review 2: This is a short little book by Tim that does a remarkable job of connecting different episodes in the life of Christ to our lives today. As usual, he really does have some profound things to say, and since these are really just ten sermons put together in book form, they're Tim at his finest. His books are definitely worth reading, though it's ultimately his teaching and preaching where he's most gifted; when his writing comes closest to his teaching I think his writing tends to be most meaningful. less
