Timothy Keller invites sceptics to examine Christianity and how it satisfies our innate longings
We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives?
In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

I started this book because I wanted to understand the culture better - I ended up understanding myself better too! It exposed not only the lies in the culture around us but the very same lies that I'm tempted to buy into as well.

Personally, I'm grateful for the challenge and trust that it will be helpful to others as I attempt to connect the truth of God's word to people in this world.
