In fact, it is such a favorite of ours that each one of us obtained a copy, and many of us have been driven to read through it multiple times. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThoughtful, Respectful, Clarifying, and Intellectually Challenging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this apologia for Christian faith, Tim Keller, founding pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church, makes an intellectually compelling case for God. The first seven chapters examine the most common objections and doubts about Christianity; the second half of the book considers reasons to believe. No one but Tim Keller will agree with everything he has written here, but everything written is worthy of thought, discussion, and further contemplation. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShould Be Mandatory Reading for Any High-School Student, Valuable for Every Adult\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Equally provocative for skeptics and believers, no matter what belief system your family embraces, The Reason for God should be mandatory reading for your high-school student. Many questions are raised and answered such as: \"Why does God allow suffering in the world?\" \"How could a loving God send people to Hell?\" \"How can one religion be 'right' and the others 'wrong'?\" \"Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?\" If your child cannot articulately answer these questions, he has some reading to do. These are the issues his peers are wrestling with, these are the questions he will encounter around the office water cooler or at a homeschool meeting. Your children need to be prepared. They need The Reason for God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Timothy Keller was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He was first a pastor in Hopewell, Virginia. In 1989, he started Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan with his wife, Kathy, and their three sons. Today, Redeemer has nearly six thousand regular attendees at five services, a host of daughter churches, and is planting churches in large cities throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNewsweek called Timothy Keller \"a C.

Not only does he not shy away from the hard questions, he addresses them with the seriousness they deserve. And while The Reason for God can and should be read to great benefit by believers, it's a valuable resource for skeptics. Keller speaks to serious doubters, agnostics, and atheists with the same respect he would show to members of his Manhattan church. The Reason for God is worthwhile reading for believers who seek a more reasonable basis for Christian faith, and for nonbelievers who are open to reasoned arguments in favor of God's existence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for The Reason for God:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"It is easy to understand [Timothy Keller's] appeal.\" \u003cbr\u003e--\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In a flood of bestsellers by skeptics and atheists...Keller stands out as an effective counterpoint and defender of the faith.
