Product Description
The remarkable New York Times bestseller by the "C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" (Newsweek).
A New York Times bestseller people can believe in-by a "pioneer of the new urban Christians" (Christian Today magazine).
Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics and non-believers bring to religion. Using literature, philosophy, anthropology, pop culture, and intellectual reasoning, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is, in fact, a sound and rational one. To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand against the backlash toward religion spawned by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.

A must read for anyone interested in the existence of a greater Power November 21, 2009

Keller does a nice job capturing naysayers' arguments against the existence of God. Particularly noteworthy was the relationship between science and God. Our minds today know much more about scientific reasons for why we exist, but I love how this strengthened Keller's belief in Christ.
I felt the 1st half of the book (debunking skeptics' arguments against God)was much stronger than the case made for God in the 2nd half. I compare this to a defense attorney proving his client is not guilty, but not providing enough ammunition for proving that his client is "innocent."
Overall, a thoroughly though-provoking book for anyone regardless of belief. Arguments could be more robust, but an effective effort by Keller at tackling a controversial topic.
 I loved this book... November 1, 2009

I thoroughly enjoyed the content and tone of this book. I've since bought three copies to send as resources to young ministers interested in church planting. I'd highly recommend it to those interested in graceful responses to skeptics or those hostile to the faith.
well done! October 31, 2009

I'm reading this book alongside "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist". The two are complementary, similar but enough different to warrant buying them both. I recommend it!
God has a reason and a reality October 20, 2009

This book explains why God is reality and atheism is the product of those who lack spritual awareness. I understand what the Bible is saying and why His guiding hand is essential. Read this book if you want to know how to live eternally.
Great book. October 19, 2009

This is a great book. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has life questions. It gives great explanations for people wrestling with the existence of God. Great book. 5 stars.
