The Reason for God

The people have spoken, and Tim Keller's "The Reason for God: Belief in and Age of Skepticism" has emerged as the front-runner/winner of our poll!

Keller is the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church here in Manhattan, with loose historical ties to Church of the Advent Hope. (His congregation began meeting in our church building when they first got started.)

I hope you are looking forward to hearing a New Yorker, and a great Christian thinker tackle some of the toughest questions people raise about the Christian faith.

Spread the word. This is a great book to share/discuss with friends that might have questions about life and faith.

To find out more about the book (and to order it), browse this website.

We'll begin discussing/reading it on June 28.
