By: Timothy Keller
Publisher: Dutton Adult
October 30, 2008
The parable of the prodigal son is one of those stories that everyone knows: A man had two sons. The younger of the two approaches his father and demands his inheritance, despite his father being very much alive and well. He leaves his home and spends all he has on reckless living. As a famine hit the land, he finds himself in need, and gets a job feeding pigs. While longing to eat the pig's slop... more

| 2. The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism | 
|
By: Timothy Keller
Publisher: Riverhead Trade
August 04, 2009
This book is awful. The ideas the author desires to present are really good. How he goes about explaining and proving his thesis, however, is a different story. The author has some knowledge of philosophy and relates it to some of the topics, but very poorly. He used philosophical authors and excerpts for his own gain, completely disregarding the context in which they were written. The sources he provides... more

| 3. Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters |
|
By: Timothy Keller
Publisher: Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged Lib Ed
October 20, 2009
The topic of idols isn't only an intellectual one. It's not a topic to be studied, understood, then moved on from. It's not a question of if you have idols between you and God. You do; we all do. The real question is what they are and whether or not they will be dethroned and replaced with the one true God.
This is Keller's endeavor in his book Counterfeit Gods. To help us to understand... more

| 5. Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross: Experiencing the Passion and Power of Easter |
|
By: Nancy Guthrie
Publisher: Crossway Books
January 31, 2009
As we approach Easter, Christians everywhere remember Christ's sufferings on the old, rugged cross and the triumph of his resurrection. Indeed, the symbol of the cross is one of the few near universal Christian symbols. Protestants, Catholics and those who view themselves as neither, still cling to the cross. The gospel depends on it, Jesus' earthly life is shaped by it, the Four Gospels almost... more

| 6. Ministries of Mercy: The call of the Jericho Road |
|
By: Timothy J. Keller
Publisher: P & R Publishing
July 01, 1997
I recently became interested in studying deacon ministry, so I asked around about which books I should read. I was consistently given two titles: The New Testament Deacon by Strauch, and Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Jericho Road by Timothy J. Keller. Strauch is typically recommended for his biblical exposition of the subject, while Keller is recommended for practical "how to" approach.more
