Praise for Encounters with Jesus
"Keller’s work belongs on the bookshelf of every serious Bible
student. It is not a quick read, but, instead should be savored
like fine wine, one sip at a time to glean the full impact of his
life-changing message."
-Examiner.com
Praise for Timothy Keller and his books:
"Tim Keller's ministry in New York City is leading a generation of
seekers and skeptics toward belief in God. I thank God for
him."
– Billy Graham
“Unlike most suburban megachurches, much of Redeemer is remarkably
traditional. What is not traditional is Dr. Keller’s skill in
speaking the language of his urbane audience…Observing Dr. Keller’s
professorial pose on stage, it is easy to understand his
appeal.”
– The New York Times
“Fifty years from now, if evangelical Christians are widely known
for their love of cities, their commitment to mercy and justice,
and their love of their neighbors, Tim Keller will be remembered as
a pioneer of the new urban Christians.”
– Christianity Today Magazine
“With intellectual, brimstone-free sermons that manage to cite
Woody Allen alongside Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Keller draws
some 5,000 young followers every Sunday. Church leaders see him as
a model of how to evangelize urban centers across the country, and
Keller has helped ‘plant’ 50 gospel-based Christian churches around
New York plus another 50 from San Francisco to London.”
– New York Magazine
“Theologically rich and philosophically informed, yet accessible
and filled with practical wisdom.”
– Cardus on Every Good Endeavor
“This book is for us all and through its reading it can change and
reshape your entire outlook on your life.”
– SarahMac on Every Good Endeavor
“It’s a great resource to equip you to speak with your secular
friends; to show them why the Christian understanding of marriage
is not only a tremendous blessing, it’s the only one that
works.”
– ChristianPost.com on The Meaning of Marriage
“The Meaning of Marriage is incredibly rich with wisdom and insight
that will leave the reader, whether single or married, feeling
uplifted. While the book is filled with expertly selected biblical
verses, nonreligious readers willing to ‘try on’ these observations
may find answers not only to the meaning of marriage but to that
even bigger question—the meaning of life itself.”
– The Washington Times on The Meaning of Marriage
“This is the book I give to all my friends who are serious
spiritual seekers or skeptics.”
– Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, on The Reason for
God
“Keller mines material from literary classics, philosophy,
anthropology and a multitude of other disciplines to make an
intellectually compelling case for God. Written for skeptics and
the believers who love them, the book draws on the author's
encounters as founding pastor of New York's booming Redeemer
Presbyterian Church…[The Reason for God] should serve both as
testimony to the author's encyclopedic learning and as a compelling
overview of the current debate on faith for those who doubt and for
those who want to reevaluate what they believe, and why.”
– Publishers Weekly on The Reason for God
“World has briefly reviewed about 200 books over the past year.
Many stand out, but one in particular is likely to change many
lives and ways of thinking. World’s Book of the Year is Tim
Keller’s The Reason for God. ”
– Marvin Olasky on The Reason for God
