Timothy Keller

Tänä päivänä uskotellaan, että jokaisella on sielunkumppaninsa. Romanssi on menestyvän avioliiton tärkein osa. Puolisosi on valmis auttamaan sinua toteuttamaan potentiaalisi. Avioliitto ei tarkoita ikuisuutta, vaan vain nyt ja että alusta alkaminen avioeron jälkeen on paras ratkaisu näennäisesti vaikeisiin avioliitto-ongelmiin. Mutta nämä nykyajan oletukset ovat vääriä. Timothy Kellerin ja hänen vaimonsa Kathyn näkemykset osoittavat avioliiton olevan loistava suhde, joka on myös väärinymmärretty ja mystinen. Avioliiton merkitys tarjoaa ohjeita onnistuneen avioliiton solmimisesta, ja se on olennaista luettavaa kaikille, jotka haluavat tuntea Jumalan ja rakkauden syvemmin tässä elämässä.

Can the church regain its cultural influence? The church in America is losing ground. Unfortunately, our efforts to reverse this trend often seem to do more harm than good. In Joy for the World, Greg Forster explains how the church lost its culture-shaping voice and what Christians can do to turn things around. This book teaches us that the key to cultural transformation is something that we might not expect: explosive, Spirit-produced joy in God and his gospel.

Den mest inflytelserika människa som någonsin vandrat på jorden har fått sin historia berättad på hundratals sätt under tusentals år. Finns det något att tillägga?I Korsfäst Konung tecknar Timothy Keller en levande och mycket insiktsfull bild av Jesus Kristus. Den handlar om vägen till evigt liv, men också om hela meningen med världens och människans historia.Timothy Keller är en internationellt storsäljande författare och en av den världsvida kristenhetens mest uppmärksammade ledare. Av tidskriften Newsweek har han kallats en ”C S Lewis för 2000-talet”.I boken förklarar Keller hur Jesus kom som kung – men en kung som måste bära det största lidande som någonsin burits. Korsfäst Konung är Kellers omskakande skildring av Jesu liv så som det berättas i Markus evangelium.Keller visar hur berättelsen om Jesus är både kosmisk och historisk men samtidigt personlig. Det är en berättelse som driver varje läsare att undersöka det egna förhållandet till Gud.Liksom Kellers tidigare böcker talar den till både skeptiker och troende. Här växer ett oförglömligt porträtt av Jesus Kristus fram, ett porträtt som lämnar ett outplånligt avtryck hos läsaren.

'Do what makes you happy.' 'Be true to yourself.' 'Live free.' If these slogans promise the good life, why do they so often leave us feeling hollow and empty? Could the very stories our modern world tells us about happiness, freedom, and identity be the source of our growing anxiety and disillusionment? The culmination of a journey Michael Keller began with his father, beloved pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller, before his passing, The Stories We Live By unmasks the hidden cultural narratives that shape our lives, often without our knowledge. Michael and Timothy Keller examine seven dominant narratives of modern culture - concerning identity, power, freedom, morality, truth, happiness, and progress. The authors show how these stories contain elements of truth yet are built on flawed assumptions and internal contradictions that leave us fragile, divided, and unable to cope with the realities of life. The Stories We Live By helps us: Recognise where these stories appear throughout culture Understand why they leave us feeling hollow and unfulfilled Decode the specific ways these stories hijack our decision-making, and learn how to critically evaluate them going forward Understand why the Christian story offers a more satisfying answer to our deepest longings Make sense of both the beauty and the brokenness of the world Find a hope that can sustain us through suffering, grounded in a story that is bigger than death itself For the sceptic, this book offers a challenge to examine the unproven beliefs that drive our lives. For the Christian, it is an essential tool for recognizing where we have unknowingly absorbed cultural narratives that conflict with our faith. And for everyone, it is an invitation to discover a story that is big enough to make sense of both the beauty and the brokenness of the world - a story of grace that has the power to carry us through life's deepest joys and sorrows. Born from a conversation between a father and son, The Stories We Live By is more than a cultural analysis. It is a guide to finding a truer, more beautiful, and far more satisfying story to live by.

"You are the stories that you believe." Tim Keller used this phrase to make the point that stories transmit beliefs and assumptions in packageable sizes. Our culture has many such stories. We don't necessarily call them beliefs but rather say, "This is the just the way things are." They are everywhere in societies today—and are much more influential on our lives that we might think. In fact, just as fish are unaware of the water in which they swim, we can be completely oblivious to the narratives that surround us. Think about it for a moment. Every culture has provided answers to the fundamental questions of life that tell us why we are here (for happiness), what is wrong with us (we aren't being true to ourselves), what will put us right (achieving our authentic identity), how this will put us right (by being free), and how we can do this (by using power to get our freedom). Christians are just as affected by these faulty cultural narratives as everyone else. Even some devout followers of Jesus find parts of the Bible implausible because they've unknowingly absorbed secular narratives that conflict with biblical teaching. They have not engaged, challenged, or dismantled those underlying narratives, and so those stories continue to misshape their understanding of the truth. In Stories We Live By, Michael Keller—son of the late Tim Keller—draws on research collected with his father to identify seven of the most prominent hidden cultural narratives in our world: identity, power, freedom, morality, truth, happiness, and progress. Michael explores what we can affirm and appreciate about each narrative, based on what the Bible tells us and what we must reject. Only then can we see how Christianity offers a more complete story that fulfills our deepest longings.

Beloved pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller offers a hope-filled answer to the question beneath every devastating headline and personal loss: What is wrong with the world?

Everywhere we look, we see brokenness: wars, cruelty, and heartache and much more. We feel it in the world around us and in our own lives. How did it get to be this way?During his tenure as founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller explained on a weekly basis how the Bible provides the most comprehensive and sophisticated response to the fundamental questions of life. In What Is Wrong with the World?, based on a series of teachings given at Redeemer, Keller answers the title's pressing question by revealing that the only thing that can account for the world's pain and chaos is what the Bible calls sin. This clear-eyed and ultimately hopeful book reveals how sin is not simply a 'bad' thing we do, but something much more subtle and complex, affecting our relationships, our thinking, and every aspect of our existence. And only when we recognize sin for what it is can we find the profound, life-transforming answer our souls long for. What Is Wrong with the World? is for anyone who:Feels overwhelmed at the state of the worldBattles with repeated mistakes and poor choicesDesires more than pat answers to difficult questionsWonders how to know joy while still acknowledging painWants to understand how God's love gives hope even in the hardest of places.Today's battles across the globe and in our own hearts are not the end of the story. As Keller writes, 'If we stand any chance of answering the question of what is wrong with the world . . . we must begin with understanding the complexity and multifaceted nature of sin, and end with understanding the unfailing love of a God who chooses to save us from it. This book will show you how.'

ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist - Faith and CultureChristianity Today Book of the Year Award, Politics and Public LifeCommon life in our society is in decline.Our communities are disintegrating, as the loss of meaningful work and the breakdown of the family leave us anxious and alone-indeed, half of all Americans report daily feelings of loneliness. Our public discourse is polarized and hateful. Ethnic minorities face systemic injustices and the ever-present fear of violence and deportation. Economic inequalities are widening.In this book, Jake Meador diagnoses our society's decline as the failure of a particular story we've told about ourselves: the story of modern liberalism. He shows us how that story has led to our collective loss of meaning, wonder, and good work, and then recovers each of these by grounding them in a different story-a story rooted in the deep tradition of the Christian faith.Our story doesn't have to end in loneliness and despair. There are reasons for hope-reasons grounded in a different, better story. In Search of the Common Good reclaims a vision of common life for our fractured times: a vision that doesn't depend on the destinies of our economies or our political institutions, but on our citizenship in a heavenly city. Only through that vision-and that citizenship-can we truly work together for the common good."In Search of the Common Good offers a vision for life together that is deep, compelling, and wise. This is a profound and important work by an exceptional writer." Karen Swallow Prior, author of On Reading Well and Fierce Convictions
