Encounters with Jesus

Unexpected Answers to Life's Biggest Questions

By: Timothy Keller

Narrated by: Lloyd James

Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins

Publisher's summary

In Encounters With Jesus, New York Times bestselling author and renowned pastor Timothy Keller shows how people were changed when they met Jesus personally - and how we can be changed today through our own encounter with him.

What is my purpose in life? What is a good life? Why is there so much wrong with our world? What can I do to help make it right?

These are some of the big questions that everyone must answer. And any lasting change in our lives will start with a change to one or more of our answers to these questions.

Jesus changed the life of every person he met in the Gospels, through powerful experiences and words that led them to unexpected and transforming answers to their big questions. These conversations can still address our questions and doubts today. Encounters with Jesus focuses on several of these meetings - including with a skeptical student, a religious insider, an outcast, even Jesus' mother - and tells how the central events in Jesus' life provide ways for us to encounter him again or for the first time.

Perfectly 👌 Explained

Eloquently Spoken with perfect analogies. A keeper for reference 👏. A must listen or 📚 read.

Deep, thoughtful

I liked the insightful and convincing take on Jesus’s encounters with chapters in the Bible

I discovered this book just at the right time!

I am at a stage in my spiritual walk where I am dealing with belief, trust, ego, doubt and what they mean. I have never received an understanding of the scriptures like this book opened me up to. I have never had as meaningful an encounter of the nature of Jesus, as I did from this book. There is so beauty in the bible prose, so many layers of absolute meaningful symbolisms and truths that I am now aware of!

Thanks Tim Keller for writing this book. Thanks to the narrator for doing such a good job! And thank you God for the line of writers you inspire and give revelation to. I see the place you are bringing me to and I'll keep pressing on!

Amazing

I absolutely loved this! Tim Keller is so unbelievably gifted in describing Gods love and grace, I just can not say enough good things about this book. I am about halfway through reading all of his books and this one is my favorite by far. Just beautiful!

Very Relevant

Keller does a great job bring the stories of Jesus to bear on the culture today. Highlighting how the Encounters with Jesus in the first century raised major worldview questions and seeing how Jesus confronts the modern world with the same major worldview questions was powerful.

Highly recommend for Christians wanting to understand how Jesus' life should impact them today and for those who are skeptical or unsure about Jesus.

this book explains Jesus's work and his heart ❤

this book helped me understand Jesus and his work and all that distinguish him to other faiths. also she'd light in areas of doubt or Grey areas.
Thank you again Tim Keller

Love until the end

I loved this book! Really good in all it's teachings and easy to comprehend. A very good mix between telling stories and doing apologetics. The Audio is good too, eventually you start feeling like Tim Keller is reading it to you.

Life changing explanations. . .

Timothy Keller has taken my understanding of the life and finished work of JESUS CHRIST to an entirely different level. . .I am deeply grateful for the way Mr. Keller has allowed GOD to use his life and writing to bring much glory to the LORD.

Great Book for Small Grp or Disciplining Others

I absolutely loved this book. Every chapter had me thinking more deeply than I have thought, in a long time, about the personhood of Jesus. Highly recommending it to all. Each chapter leads to thoughtful discussions.

Love it

Deep. Love this book! One of Keller’s best. Draws your heart to Jesus and opens your eyes to His love for us.
