Editorial Review: Product Description: The End of Faith. The God Delusion. God Is Not Great. Letter to a Christian Nation. Bestseller lists are filled with doubters. But what happens when you actually doubt your doubts? Although a vocal minority continues to attack the Christian faith, for most Americans, faith is a large part of their lives: 86 percent of Americans refer to themselves as religious, and 75 percent of all Americans consider themselves Christians. So how should they respond to these passionate, learned, and persuasive books that promote science and secularism over religion and faith? For years, Tim Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his Manhattan church. And in The Reason for God, he single-handedly dismantles each of them. Written with atheists, agnostics, and skeptics in mind, Keller also provides an intelligent platform on which true believers can stand their ground when bombarded by the backlash. The Reason for God challenges such ideology at its core and points to the true path and purpose of Christianity. Why is there suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive? Shouldn’t the Christian God be a god of love? How can one religion be “right” and the rest “wrong”? Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God? These are just a few of the questions even ardent believers wrestle with today. In this book, Tim Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations and reasoning, and even pop culture to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.

 Rating:  - BUY THIS!!!I recently bought this book from amazon and participated in a book study with a few fellow believers. We just finished and I can honestly say that i loved this book. The symbolism used is very effective and helpful!!! I love this book and if you dont own it we need to change that!!!! :D Trevor Rating: - Wonderful, thoughtful bookI've been reading this book for the past few months, and I have to save it is the best book on Christianity I've read this year. It is easy to follow, and Tim Keller raises many good points in it. I highly recommend it to both Christians and non-Christians alike. Rating: - The Reason for GodThis book is a must read for anyone who has ever struggled with their Christian faith or for those who want to know why they should believe in God. It is insightful and one of the most readable apologetics books on Christianity. I especially recommend this book for those who have accepted the usual secular arguments against belief in God. Rating:  - This book made me leave ChristianityMy reasons for leaving Christianity are exactly the same as Tim Keller's reasons for why you should join it: There is no one overwhelming argument which can't be denied; instead there are a lot of smaller reasons which, when taken together, provide an inductive force so compelling I couldn't resist it. Also, like Keller, I like this story better. Ironically, Keller's book was fairly instrumental in my deconversion. As I've said other places, it was a long and gradual process which finally ... Read More Rating: - It's Not About Proving God Is...Keller's work is first rate. I found myself diving deeply into this work and enjoying every aspect of it. It is true that many of his arguments are not new, rather they are just wrapped in a more modern or should I say post-modern packaging. I believe the beauty of the book is that he doesn't seek to prove God is there. Rather he presents the case that the notion that God isn't there requires a suspension of observations and known conditions of our society and world. Ultimately, he works ...
