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.

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.

Relevant Jesus.

Keller does a masterful job making Jesus relevant to us today. He introduces the Christ who wants a personal relationship us and who answers life's biggest questions.

Amazing Jesus

Offers new perspective on Jesus Love and Sacrifice. I gained even deeper appreciation for what Jesus had done for me /us than I had before. Because of this I feel a stronger relationship to Jesus and Jehovah . Would encourage you to listen or read this prospective on Jesus amazing love for Jehovah and man.

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!
