King's Cross

The Story of the World in the Life of Jesus

By: Timothy Keller

Narrated by: Lloyd James

Length: 8 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author and nationally renowned minister Timothy Keller unlocks new insights into the life of Jesus Christ.

King's Cross is Timothy Keller's revelatory look at the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark. There have been many biographies of Jesus, but few will be as anticipated as this one by Keller, the man Newsweek calls "a C. S. Lewis for the 21st century".

In it, Keller shows how the story of Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with God. Like Keller's other books, it has tremendous crossover appeal, but it is also ideal for the faithful, those who are looking for closer connections to Jesus and Christianity.

Please note: This book has also been published under the alternate title Jesus the King: Understanding the Life and Death of the Son of God.

Critic reviews

"In discussing the identity of Jesus, the author describes him as a man both deeply embedded within his culture and times while also living counter to them in many ways.... The author describes a man aware of his upcoming sacrifice, and indeed, a man in continual sacrifice, as he had descended from heaven to live on earth. Captivating reading from a Christian perspective." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Keller engages the reader with astute pastoral application, littered with excellent sermon illustrations.... [King's Cross] finds Keller in familiar territory: producing another great book, leaving readers from atheist to Christian grappling with the nature and implications of the gospel of Jesus Christ." (Michael Johnson, DesiringGod.org)

"This is the book where Tim Keller hits his stride as an author.... Keller directs readers' gazes toward the cross and will not allow them to look away." (Collin Hansen, The Gospel Coalition)

Simple Truth.

Another outstanding journey through the logic and love of Christ from Tim Keller. Very thankful for the way he shines new light on so many facets of the gospel.

A wonderful walk through the Gospel of Christ.

Simple, clear, and compelling. Keller takes us to Jesus and holds us close enough that we can't help but be in awe once again of the power of the Gospel.

Amazing look into Jesus and his mission

This is an amazingly detailed look at Jesus through Mark. I learned a lot. This book made me appreciate Jesus and all he ever did 10 times over

A look into Mark's Gospel

Tim Keller is a matter storyteller and theologian. He takes portions off the story of Mark and explores them with depth and relevance to the Christian. If you want to understand the book of Mark, the Crosd or Christ better this book is a great choice.
