 Not for the weak in mind..... January 6, 2009
Timothy Keller's book, THE REASON FOR GOD is not light reading. It answers age old questions which are the stumbling blocks to non-believers AND it answers them in a remarkably fresh and solid manner. If you've ever questioned your beliefs or if you wonder why the world has so many who profess to be Christians, this book will give the answers. It's tops on my book list!
Before you rant, read Keller. January 2, 2009

What's your favorite rant against Christianity? What hypocrisy about the religion just really turns you off? Before you open mouth and insert foot, read this book. Keller addresses many of the tough questions that any Christian or anyone who believes in God struggles with. I first listened to this book on compact disc then I ordered it. I think he is the C.S.Lewis of our generation.
The best Christian apology I have read January 1, 2009
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Timothy Keller can make difficult matters clear and don't let one's interest die. I made numerous notes about his arguments which for me were satisfying. I looked some harsh critiques of these book which make one sad. How can we understand this world in so totally different way? Nothing that atheists argue does not persuade believers and similarly the believers' arguments are futile when one is an atheist.
I do not have anything important to add to those positive reviews. I just wanted to recommend this book, because it is the best Christian apology I have read - and I have read a lot of them.
I believe December 29, 2008
A true defender of the faith Timothy Keller and his book "The Reason for God" contributes great evidence for the existence of God. Believing in a God is rational and the skeptics should take a second look it. I hope in some way Keller will convert non-believers with this book.
I see from reading the reviews on this site some people have recommend my book, "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," and again I just want them to know how much I appreciate their recommendation, especially at such a excellent site. I wrote this book out of love and for the glory of God and Jesus, not for my own fame or fortune. I welcome people to read my book, I'm sure you'll find this non-fiction account of a loving God just as positive and inspiring
 Excellent Christianity 101 primer December 28, 2008
Like many individuals who did not become Christians until they were adults (being raised in an atheist family), I was greatly influenced by C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity when I first read it. Later I found Lee Strobel's The Case for Faith to be a second excellent "basic introductory textbook" to the Christian faith. The Reason for God can now be added as a third book that serves as a kind of Christianity 101 primer. In it the author answers basic question about Christianity that believers and non-believers alike struggle with. The subtitle of the book - Belief in an Age of Skepticism - indicates where the author will take you. The first portion of the book is entitled The Leap of Doubt and the second entitled The Reasons for Faith. The author tackles such basic questions as: 1) How is Christianity compatible with what we know of the world scientifically, 2) How can we make sense of and believe what is written in the Bible, 3) Does belief in the Christian God even make sense, 4) How can we understand the concept of Hell, 5) What does the cross mean for me, and so on. In essence, the author, in 14 chapters, answers most of the basic questions about how Christianity can make sense and why would someone become a Christian in an age of so much skepticism. In so doing he clears up many of the misconceptions about Christianity that so many non-believers often have. The writing is clear and straightforward. I recommend the book to anyone who has little knowledge of Christianity, to those who are seeking, and for those who struggle in their faith (and don't we all?). I did not give it 5 stars simply because I thought that inclusion of additional topics would have made the book more complete.
