En una era donde complacer a la gente, elevar tu ego y construir tu currículum son vistos como métodos para "lograrlo", el Apóstol Pablo nos llama a encontrar el verdadero descanso en olvidarnos a nosotros mismos. En este corto e ingenioso libro, el autor de éxito de ventas Tim Keller nos muestra que la humildad conforme al evangelio significa que podemos dejar de conectar cada experiencia y cada conversación con nosotros mismos y liberarnos de la auto condenación. Una persona verdaderamente humilde no es una persona que se odia a sí misma, o se ama a sí misma, sino que se olvida a sí misma. Esta libertad puede ser tuya... In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to ''make it'', the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self-forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, best-selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self- condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self-hating person or a self-loving person, but a self-forgetful person. This freedom can be yours...

O cristianismo está em declínio no mundo ocidental. Nos Estados Unidos, no Canadá, na Austrália e na Europa, igrejas fecham as portas a uma velocidade galopante. Mesmo no Brasil, novos contornos sociais e políticos ameaçam a presença e a ação da igreja. Como a igreja responderá? Neste manifesto breve, mas contundente, Timothy Keller, pastor e autor best-seller do New York Times, defende que esse declínio deve nos impulsionar a repensar a evangelização desde suas bases. Usando a igreja primitiva como guia, as igrejas coletivamente e os cristãos individualmente devem examinar a si próprios, fazendo uma exegese das Escrituras e da cultura, para assim promover uma nova ação missional que restabeleça o contato da igreja com a cultura ocidental e seja capaz de tornar o evangelho atraente e com credibilidade para uma nova geração.

"As Christians, we seek to make God a part of every decision that we make--the way we parent, lead, serve, and spend. But what if God has a purpose and plan for the investing dreams he has given you? A community of ministries, businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, and fund managers have all experienced God awakening a movement, and its bigger than simply avoiding ''sin stocks.''" --provided by publisher.

The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14) Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus''s resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.

Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah—the most misunderstood parable in the Bible. Previously published as The Prodigal Prophet The story of Jonah is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. It is also the most misunderstood. Many people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with Jonah: A rebellious prophet who defies God and is swallowed by a whale. But there''s much more to Jonah''s story than most of us realize. In Rediscovering Jonah, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible. And yet there are unmistakably clear connections between Jonah, the prodigal son, and Jesus. Jesus in fact saw himself in Jonah. How could one of the most defiant and disobedient prophets in the Bible be compared to Jesus? Jonah''s journey also doesn''t end when he is freed from the belly of the fish. There is an entire second half to his story—but it is left unresolved within the text of the Bible. Why does the book of Jonah end on what is essentially a cliffhanger? In these pages, Timothy Keller provides an answer to the extraordinary conclusion of this biblical parable—and shares the powerful Christian message at the heart of Jonah''s story.

Praise for Uncommon Ground: "For anyone struggling to engage well with others in an era of toxic conflict, this book provides a framework, steeped in humility, that is not only insightful but is readily actionable. I''m grateful for the vulnerability and wisdom offered by each of the twelve leaders who contributed to this book. The task of learning to love well--neighbors and enemies alike--is long and urgent, and it can be costly. And yet, as this book shows us because it is the work of Jesus, we can pursue this love with great hope." --Gary A. Haugen, founder and CEO, International Justice Mission

Timothy Kellers Predigten erreichen jede Woche tausende von spätmodernen Skeptikern in Manhattan. Als Prediger und Theologie hat er Millionen von Menschen inspiriert. In "Predigen" wendet er sich an alle, die Gottes Wort an andere Menschen weitergeben wollen – ob Pastoren oder Laien, ob Prediger auf der Kanzel oder Hauskreisleiter, Gemeindemitarbeiter, christliche Autoren oder Blogger. Vielen Christen – auch Pastoren! – fällt es schwer, so vom Glauben zu reden, dass andere Menschen davon angesteckt werden und ihr Leben verändert wird. Sie sehen sich einer Kultur gegenüber, in der viele Menschen gegen jegliche Wahrheitsansprüche resistent geworden sind. Umso mehr brauchen die Menschen, Christen wir Nichtchristen, die Verkündigung des Evangeliums in ihrer Sprache und Gedankenwelt. In "Predigen" gibt Timothy Keller keine "Anleitung in sieben Schritten zur erfolgreichen Predigt". Und er macht keine falschen Versprechungen: Ob die Predigt oder die Weitergabe des Evangeliums völlmächtig und lebensverändernd war und der Heilige Geist durch die Predigt wirken konnte, das hat kein Prediger in der Hand. Aber Timothy Keller zeigt, was eine biblische Predigt ausmacht – eine Auslegungspredigt, die die Menschen erreicht: Was der Prediger sagt, ist nicht seine bloße Meinung. Er verkündet das Wort Gottes, wie er es in der Bibel gefunden hat (die Textpredigt ist deshalb die Regel, die Themapredigt die Ausnahme). Eine gute Predigt ist immer eine Predigt des Evangeliums von Jesus Christus und fasst damit die zentrale Botschaft der Bibel ins Auge. Und ein guter Prediger kommuniziert immer kontextuell – er spricht so, dass er die Lebenswelt der Hörer trifft: Ihre Probleme, ihre Zweifel, ihre Fragen, ihre Sprache. Ein Buch, dass motiviert und hilft, vom Glauben ansteckend zu reden!

Timothy and Kathy Keller will show you a portrait of marriage as it''s meant to be according to the Bible...by first throwing out most of what we''ve been taught about love.
